Weather App + Current Airport Delays app review: all your details

Introduction

If you're looking for a complete weather app that goes further than just the current conditions then this app may be what you're looking for. The Weather App + Current Airport Delays app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone provides you with detailed weather details as well as gives you important information on flights. Perhaps you're waiting for a friend or loved one to arrive or maybe you yourself are getting ready to head out on a flight; if so, this is a simple and quick way to also view current information on airport delays.

Stand Out

With so many weather apps available it's hard to actually stand out and grab the attention of users. I like that this one offers that added feature of the airport delay information giving users something unexpected in a weather app. The app supports all major airports around the world and gives you the most current delay information. Essentially this one app is able to perform two services.

Of course the main purpose of the app is to provide the user with accurate and detailed weather information. The information you will find within the app is updated a few times a day and is provided by World Weather Online. The app can use geo-positioning to give you the weather of your current location or you can search through the database of locations. The details you are given for each location include the current temperature, the real feel temperature, wind speed and direction, the type of weather, barometric pressure, cloud covering, humidity, and the expected rainfall. You will not be at a loss for information.

 

Slick User Interface

For me the user interface is another bonus in this app, which helps it stand out. It uses HD animated backgrounds when displaying the weather information which is beautiful and really fun. There are day and night icons, you can share the weather information on Twitter, and you can see the five-day weather forecasts. Customization options include setting the app to Fahrenheit or Celsius, and choosing your time format (12H/24H) and date format.

I will say that sometimes the screen feels a bit busy but that's because of the sheer volume of information. If you're looking for a simple glance at the weather without any sort of additional details this one probably isn't for you. Some users were having issues with the city manager, which was a bug that has now been addressed.
