Pros and cons of Blue - weather forecast app for iPhone and iPad
Blue - weather forecast app good for
Love minimal apps and this one is lovely just wish it had the option to badge the icon with current condition.
I like this app very much. Its desing and navigating system, but You: Dev should add more cities than just current location. Nice icon :)
Some bad moments
Sieht toll aus, einfach zu bedienen - aber die Wettervorhersagen sind sehr unzuverlässig. Zeigt mir gerade bei strahlend blauem Himmel und keiner Wolke weit und breit Regen an.
Beautiful app, easy to handle, but potentially useless, since forecasts provided are very unreliable (at a bright blue sky outside with no cloud in sight, the app tells me its raining).
...but a little too simple. A little more detail would be good and it seems buggy. As I swipe down to see the extended forecast it jumps from today (Tuesday at the time of writing) to Saturday. What about the rest of the week?
The app is clean and easy to use. Nicely designed with cool transitions.
However, I expected way more from an app that I paid for. I thought maybe it could replace my current weather apps - but not a chance.
It only goes 28 hours or so ahead, there is minimal weather data, and it is only based on my current location. This app is just too simplified to the point Ill never use it.
Its a novel way to look at the upcoming weather forecast. Great idea, great execution!
I am a designer and I thoroughly enjoy this app. Oak has managed to find a minimal, yet powerful way to visualize a weather forecast. Two thumbs up!
could use a teensy more info... maybe on touch and hold? be able to check weather in different state etc. in case one is traveling? otherwise I love it.
