Weather Pod

Weather Pod

Weather Pod brings a refreshing experience to the whole ‘weather app’ theme, with a stunning display and many clever functions. The app has somehow achieved an applaudable fine balance between simplicity and advanced intelligence, with a cleverly integrated user interface that navigates and animates your weather details at demand.

Weather Pod lets you:

• Check your current weather conditions, including temperature, humidity, wind speed/direction, precipitation and visibility.
• Predict the current probability of it raining (or snowing, sleeting…) in your current location.
• Check your weather forecast for the next 3 days ahead.
• View the sunrise and sunset times for your location.
• View the current moon phase data.
• Check the historical temperature statistics for your location.
• Check for any weather alerts within or near your location (the app will also notify you if any weather alerts are present).
• View a realtime satellite radar map for your location.

Weather Pod is quite literately a breath of fresh air. Weather discovery no longer needs to be a chore, as Weather Pod makes weather both fun and interesting.

Weather Tune

Weather Tune

The app store has lots of weather apps… Some good, some okay, and some with annoyingly long titles! (developers – you know who you are!). The trouble with having many weather apps, obviously means that in general most of them are very similar in appearance & function… Well not always – Weather Tune has arrived on the app store, bringing a whole new meaning to what we’ve been used to with the standard ‘weather app’.

The first thing that you’ll notice when using Weather Tune is the alternative appearance  - almost like a custom built weather station/radio clock, obviously a lot of thought went into the development of the user interface to make it appear quite ‘uniquely’ pleasant & pleasing on the eye. Beyond the appearance is where the fun begins, I was amazed how each of the app’s features was so well integrated within the layout.

Getting down to the features, Weather Tune comes with:

• A ‘current’ weather display – showing data such as current weather conditions, temperature, humidity etc..
• A global weather news feature, updated regularly with the latest world climate news.
• A storm tracker map feature, showing any tropical storm or hurricane currently occupying the US states.
• A selection of online radio stations, when selected they cleverly activate a ‘glowing’ radio display on the app’s interface.

To sum weather Tune up in one word would be.. ‘impressive’.. I admire the unique approach that this app takes & the fusion of weather & music do really sum up the app’s title. A great addition for any iPad user.
