Awesome Accessible weather app

This is the first app I’ve seen that gives you everything for whether that the side people get that works with voiceover and will speak. I also love the app. Thank you very much.

We absolutely love this app!!

My fiancée and I both downloaded Weather Guardian and are currently using the seven-day free trial. We fully intend to subscribe to the yearly plan because we’ve been enjoying the app so much.

The accessible radar is incredible. Being able to explore the radar with VoiceOver and get information about storm locations, movement, and distance is something I’ve never experienced in another weather app. It gives blind users a level of weather awareness that simply hasn’t been available before.

We live in northern Michigan, so I’m especially looking forward to seeing how the app handles lake-effect snow this winter. Although I’m certainly not in a hurry for winter to get here—it’s only July 1, and I’m enjoying summer! 😊

Thank you for taking the time to develop such an innovative and accessible app. It’s already excellent, and we’re excited to see how it continues to grow and improve. We fully support this app and appreciate all the work you’ve put into it.

I’ll definitely be recommending Weather Guardian to all of my blind friends. Thank you again for creating such a fantastic app!
