FEATURED BY APPLE AS A "MINIMALIST'S MUST-HAVE" WEATHER APP! Get your daily and hourly weather forecast in a minimalistic and beautifully designed way in over 100 languages! Minimalist Weather App The majority of people think more equals better but as Steve Jobs and Apple have shown us time and time again less equals better. This is why I created Minimalistic Weather App. I wanted, no needed, a weather app that's not cluttered with unnecessary stuff. The app is simple and has a beautiful minimalistic design that only shows you what you want and what you need. The app is ad-free so you have no distractions that annoy you or drains your batteries. Design The beautiful and minimalistic design makes it easy for you to get the information you need and move along with your day. I have included a variety of minimalistic color themes so that you can personalize the app. Functionality To keep the app minimalistic I have carefully chosen the information that is displayed and the functionalities. You can either get the current weather information in your location or in any other city by searching for it. By double-tapping, on the screen, you’ll switch between showing the temperatures in Celsius or in Fahrenheit. The unit of measurement that you have chosen will be saved and synced to the widget and iMessage extension. The information that is giving to you are: - Current temperature - Daily forecast - Hourly forecast - Min & max temperature - Time of sunrise & sunset - The weather type - 7-Day forecast - 12 and 24-Hour timezones - Both Celsius & Fahrenheit as temperature units Widget: - The app provides a small, beautiful, and simple widget where you can get the current weather info at a glance. Thank you for choosing Minimalistic Weather App, I will keep releasing updates so if something isn’t working properly I will fix it!
