The weather is not just about knowing if it will rain. It’s about knowing for sure, beforehand. It’s receiving a hail alert from someone already under that cloud. It’s an app that feels personal every time you open it. TotalWeather combines seven weather providers in one place. You can compare them, choose the most accurate for your area, or use them all together, compare them two at a time, or average them all. Minute-by-minute forecasts, advanced maps with NASA data and multiple providers, historical data up to 15 days. The real difference is the community. Real users reporting hail, storms, floods before the providers register them. Because sometimes the weather changes in seconds, and only those there can tell you. But TotalWeather goes beyond weather. Real-time earthquakes with a global map. Marine weather up to 5 km from the coast. Air quality and personalized health advice, even for your pets. How much to drink today based on outdoor conditions. Main allergies (only for Europe, only during allergy season). Ideal conditions for running, cycling, or just going out. Northern lights with live data. Lunar calendar. Hourly pollen index. Road weather for safe travel, advanced weather navigator. On top of all this: total customization. Custom backgrounds, colors, animations, widgets. Your home screen, your way. With dynamic animations that change based on real weather. AI-generated descriptions of the day. Available in 12 languages. 195 countries. TotalWeather. Not just weather, everything the sky can tell you. [:mav: 1.1.2]
