This is a pretty run-of-the-mill weather app with a decent level of detail and an interface which follows a fairly common theme within the Weather category of the App Store.

This isn’t the most original weather forecasting app you’ll ever come across but it certainly does run very smoothly and provides more than enough information to enable you to make accurate judgment calls on the weather in your local area.

When you first start using this app you’ll most likely want to begin by tapping the house icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen. From here, you’ll be able to use your device’s integrated GPS in order to determine your current location and save it so that you can receive weather forecasts for your local area.

You can also tap on specific days to bring up more information such as high and low temperatures, precipitation, UV Index, and much more.
