MORECAST: Free Premium Weather 2.0.9
Fortunately, we've come across the most stylish and complete weather application for Android devices. But it has a down side, battery consumption is alarmingly high, it has some issues with widgets and it needs more work on the app icon.
Beautiful and fluent interface with lots of features at hand
The app doesn't come with a tutorial but you wouldn't really need it since it has quite an intuitive and fluent UI with quick access to all sort of features. It uses animation even for opening the side menu with access to settings.
The app doesn't take long to access location services and determine the city that you live in. Shortcuts to all sections is provided in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and the app lets you register with account in order to get a personalized experience across all your devices. Users can register with Twitter, Google or Facebook.
Check the weather easily
The first thing that you'll need to do inside the app is to adjust temperature levels and pick from Celsius or Fahrenheit. You'll also need to pick units for precipitation, speed, time or choose the decimal places.
The app displays the real feel temperature and lets you check out the forecast for the follow few hours, days and the rest of the week. It displays wind speed, precipitation level at certain hours and you can switch to other types of charts if you want. The app displays cloud cover, pressure and humidity also.
More features and tools
It has a section with radar view, you can check the weather in your location and surrounding areas. There's also the option to share information with your friends on social networks. Other users share pictures from their location, so that people can get an idea on how the weather is.
You can also check out webcams around the globe and see weather conditions. It has a navigate section that calculates how long it would take you to get to your destination depending on weather conditions.
It lets you pick from multiple means of transportation like car, bicycle, motorcycle or on foot. You can also compare weather conditions in multiple locations, so you can see if the weather is warmer or colder.
