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.)
