This is a fairly run-of-the-mill weather app that features an interface style which is very common in apps within this genre.

Despite the lack of originality, the developer has done a very good job of following a tried and tested formula to deliver an app which looks great and simply makes a lot of sense to first time users.

The Sun is Shining

When you first start using this app you’ll be presented with the home screen which features a weather map and an overview of what you can expect from the weather today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

You’ll want to start by tapping the house icon in the top right-hand corner and from here you’ll be able to use your device’s integrated GPS to determine your current location and receive weather reports for your local area.

I’m quite impressed by the 10-day forecasts in KVUE RADAR. You can clearly see the high and low temperatures for each day along with a visual representation of what the weather will be like, while tapping on a given day brings up more information such as precipitation and UV Index.

 

Extensive Weather Reports

If you’re looking for a little more detail then the Hourly forecast should suit your needs perfectly. In this section you’ll see an hour-by-hour breakdown of today’s weather conditions with information such as general conditions, precipitation, and wind speed and direction.

Those of you who live in an area which is prone to severe weather conditions will definitely want to take a look at the Alerts section which you can use to set up Push notifications if any storms, cyclones, or hurricanes are detected as heading in your direction.

This is a very solid weather app overall, and although it lacks the video and blog content that a lot of similar apps have, you’ll find everything you need to easily make an accurate assessment of the upcoming weather conditions for the next 10 days.

 

Pros and Cons

Final Words

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: there is definitely a lack of flair and originality in the genre of weather forecasting apps but with developments like KVUE RADAR in the App Store it’s no wonder that developers keep coming back to this style of interface time and time again.

You’ll definitely find what you need in this app so if you need some reliable weather reporting then I’m quite certain you’ll be happy with this one.
