Cloud Map vs SkyLens

Quickly check any of the 120 NOAA weather station satellite images for visible cloud cover. If you travel, you can use the GPS feature to find the nearest weather station image. You can also collect a list of your favorite weather stations for easy reference. The standard version includes 2 satellite views. View the current satellite image on Apple Watch. Upgrade to Pro version and get 23 satellite views.

SkyLens turns your iPhone into a pocket meteorologist. Point at the sky, tap the shutter, and SkyLens identifies the cloud overhead — then tells you what weather it predicts. Unlike apps that just dump a Latin name, SkyLens reads the sky. Every cloud species comes with a Weather Insight: a cirrus halo means a warm front and rain within 24 hours; a towering cumulonimbus warns of thunderstorms; fair-weather cumulus signals a stable, sunny day. Learn to forecast the weather the way sailors and farmers have for centuries — just by looking up.
