Outdoor Today 1.2.1.0
These needs spurred the development of numerous applications that aim to make weather data more accessible to the masses and Windows Phone users have plenty of alternatives at their disposal.
One of those tools that try a somewhat original approach is Outdoor Today, as it presents the current weather conditions in a different manner.
Unadorned interface, with a clear layout
The utility has a very simple look, without any adornments or even slightly appealing elements of graphical design. The practical character is predominant and this is evident when taking into consideration the careful structuring of the content.
Moving among the various sections of the app and going through menus is done quite fluently and without any delays or other kind of glitches.
Create custom activities and see if the weather is suitable for them
Outdoor Today works in a relatively simple manner as it allows you to define the parameters for each outdoor activity you want to carry out.
Choosing the locations is the first step and then you can specify for each of them the temperature range, so if the values are inside the interval you set, the conditions are deemed as appropriate for that activity.
In a similar manner you will have to decide the wind speed range and also set the maximum chance for precipitation value that are also taken into account when deciding whether the weather is suitable for going out.
Manage the activity list on the go
This app is ready to help you make some changes to each of the listed activities that appear in the main screen. This is achievable by accessing the main menu displayed in the lower par of the screen and opting for the renaming or deletion of the selected entry.
Another feature at your disposal is the modification of the measurement system used by Outdoor Today and it supports both US Standard Units and the Metric System as well. The weather info is fetched automatically and you can also perform manual updates with one tap on the "Refresh" button.
