Forecast is a great little weather web app

by Mel Martin (Mar 28th, 2013)

There are so many weather apps. They tend to fall into two groups. Way too much information for me, or fluffy little icons that are pretty and just don't have enough of the information I want. A friend suggested I take a peek at Forecast, a free web app from the people who make a very serious ...

WeatherBug Elite for iPhone adds real time lightning sensors

by Mel Martin (Aug 28th, 2012)

As I see it there are two kinds of weather programs. There are the 'pretty' weather apps with beautiful animations and graphics that are somewhat short on in-depth data, and there are the apps that dive very deeply into data like precipitation totals and trends. Then there are a lot of in-between ...

Daily iPad App: Weather Live

by Michael Grothaus (Dec 1st, 2011)

We've reviewed plenty of weather apps for the iPad on TUAW. Matter of fact I think the high number of weather apps we've reviewed is due to the fact that we're still looking for the perfect iPad weather app. Weather Live isn't that app. It's good, just not the holy grail. First the good. I ...

Aelios Weather app for iPad gets more features, retains beautiful look

by Mel Martin (Nov 1st, 2011)

TUAW's Daily App: Weather HD for iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Sep 30th, 2010)

You may already know all about Weather HD -- the app made a nice splash when it was released early in the iPad's life. But Vimov has just released it for the iPhone, and even on the smaller screen, it leaves quite an impression. The idea is that instead of a tiny little icon or a big number telling ...

First Look: Weather HD for iPad

by Erica Sadun (Apr 1st, 2010)

VIMOV's Weather HD combines standard weather forecasting with video backdrops. Although I doubt the application comes with the new age music track, you can tell from this preview that it focuses on looks. I was a little surprised to see the floaty utility-style palette. You'd think that new ...

by Mel Martin (Dec 21st, 2009)

Outside [iTunes link] is a new, personal weather app for the iPhone/iPod touch that provides a visual forecast with some paid options for push notifications. I like the idea of the app; it has some nice graphics and a fresh approach to weather information. The GUI is based on a metaphor of looking ...
