This is a pretty standard weather app which uses a very common interface style that is found throughout other apps within the Weather category of the App Store.

Although the developer receives no brownie points from me for originality, it certainly has done a good job of piecing together a solid development which runs perfectly.

Detailed Weather Forecasting for the Coming Week

The first thing you’ll want to do when you first start using this app is tap on the house icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen.

The 10-Day Forecast provides a great overview of the weather for the coming week or so, and by tapping on one of the days you’ll be able to expand the view to access further information, such as high and low temperatures, chance of precipitation, UV Index, and much more.

 

Videos, Severe Weather Alerts, and More
