Weather Forecast 1.2.0
Some are filled with customization features while others come with a really stylish interface. Weather Forecast fits in the latter category, it's not that clogged with features but offers users everything they might need to check the weather in multiple locations.
Stylish interface with everything you need at hand
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or instructions, but you wouldn't really need it since it has a really intuitive UI with a side menu on the left. It doesn't have material design, nor any customization features.
Some weather apps have lots of features, including themes and icon packs for widgets but this one doesn't. Still, it sports a really stylish UI, the background image in the home page automatically changes based on weather conditions or on the time of the day.
Check the weather easily
The first thing that you'll need to do after launching the app is to pick the location. It seems that the app has a hard time finding your current city after you've enabled location services, so you might be forced to type in the name yourself.
Still, it lets you check the weather in multiple locations from around the world and make shortcuts for them so that you can access them faster. It displays your current city, the time and date on the top of the screen, with current temperatures on the bottom. It shows you the chances of rain, wind speed and the current forecast.
More features and tools
Swipe the screen up to see the forecast for the next 10 days and hours. Information on wind speed is also available for the next few days, it also uses animation to display pressure and a graph for outdoor temperatures, visibility, ultraviolet levels and chances of rain.
It has a settings menu, you can make some changes to the app's functions. Pick the unit of measurement for temperature, the time format, wind speed, pressure, visibility and date format. More over, the app lets you adjust the update interval to make sure it doesn't take up too many resources.
It comes with information in the notification bar, it displays the top temperature and the forecast. The same information is also available in the lock screen and on widgets that you can place on the home screen.
