AccuWeather by AccuWeather, Inc. is a weather app for your iPhone.

When it comes to weather you'll find everything you want to know about current and forecasted conditions on AccuWeather. This not only comes in handy on a day to day basis when you're planning your commute and activities but is great when you're travelling as well.

You can find weather conditions for locations around the world breaking it down hourly and over the next 15 days. The app is able to give you information on severe conditions that include thunderstorms, wind, rain, ice, and snow. The severe weather alerts are sent to you as notifications and are visible from your home screen, the notification center, and even your lock home screen.

Because of the iCloud support all your locations and settings that are saved can be synced to other AccuWeather apps. Integrate the weather information into your calendar so you can see the 15 day forecast displayed right on it.

Additional features include interactive maps, animated radar and satellite, and videos. More than 2.7 million locations can be found worldwide.

AccuWeather was updated on Dec. 13, 2012 and has 7,494 customer ratings with an average rating of four and a half stars out of five.

I enjoyed being able to pin my friends' locations on the radar map so I could check out their current weather and compare it to mine and see who was better off. There is no lack of weather information here so I was easily able to find everything I wanted to know in a short time.
