New Yr on iPhone and iPad is different from anything else you’ve seen in weather forecasting: Scroll through a beautiful and animated sky to see how the weather changes hourly, and get all the need-to-know details at the same time. And if there will be rainfall within the next 90 minutes we'll let you know through our now-cast. The weather visualization makes it a fun experience to check the weather – even when it’s raining! Check details day by day and hour by hour in the long-term forecast, or study the details in the graph. Under "Around you" you get an overview of air pollution, pollen spread and UV forecast, as well as the latest weather observations in your area.

Az Időkép hivatalos iPhone appja. Ha kíváncsi vagy, milyen az idő most éppen, vagy milyen lesz otthon, nálad, a nyaralódban vagy bárhol az országban - csak erre van szükséged. Az aktuális és pontos időjárási helyzetképet mutató térképeink és előrejelzésünk még kényelmesebben érhetőek el az Időkép alkalmazásban. Ha érdekel az időjárás, ez a legjobb választás. Töltsd le az Időkép appot most! Az alkalmazás a térségre szóló viharjelzés-értesítések miatt a háttérben futó pozíció-frissítéseket használhat, melyek csökkenthetik a készülék üzemidejét. (Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.)
