For everyone whose favorite people aren’t all in the same place. I made Spoon Weather to make it a little easier to keep up with life elsewhere. See the weather and local time where your family and friends live - whether you’re planning a call, checking if they’re awake, or just wondering what kind of day they’re having. And if you think in Celsius while they talk in Fahrenheit, both are right there, side by side. No conversions needed. Here's all you get: • Current weather for your location • Favorite cities from around the world • Local time for every city • Hourly forecasts and a 10-day outlook • Important weather alerts for each location • Sunrise, sunset, and moon details • Wind, humidity, visibility, cloud cover, and UV information • Beautiful backgrounds gradients that change with the weather and time of day • The option to show both Celsius and/or Fahrenheit when you want to • Prioritized feature requests since I'm a small solo app developer There are no accounts, ads, subscriptions. Location access is optional. Oh and why Spoon? No reason, other than it is my dog's name. She's cute and is scared of thunderstorms - same tbh. Weather data provided by Apple Weather.
