Weather Basic
Read full descriptionHide full description
Hello everyone! My goal was a quick, intuitive & easy to read interface for glancing at the forecast. Weather Basic exposes the basic components of the forecast to you in a presentable manner. Having no ads & being accessible were key to making it work for me. A few people were interested and tested for a while, so I decided to publish on the app store for more people to hopefully enjoy. Depending on download count and feedback, I can devote more of my time to app improvements, mostly to the quality of the forecast data. If you'd like to request a feature, you can reach out using the 'Report an Issue' button in the settings menu.
