"MeteoTrend is a clean, reliable weather app for phones and tablets. Get accurate, up-to-date forecasts for your current location or any city worldwide — with the detail you need to plan your day and the week ahead. WEATHER AT A GLANCE Open MeteoTrend to see current temperature, sky conditions, and a scrollable 24-hour hourly forecast. Below that, explore detailed metrics including wind speed and direction, gusts, barometric pressure, humidity, UV index, visibility, precipitation, cloud cover, wave height, water temperature, and geomagnetic activity — all shown with your chosen units. Sun and moon information is displayed when available: sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, and current moon phase. PLAN AHEAD Review a multi-day forecast on the home screen. Tap any day to open a detailed view with forecast periods and characteristics — helpful when you need hour-by-hour context, not just daily highs and lows. SEARCH, RECENTS & FAVORITES Search for cities worldwide and open full weather details for any result. Your recent searches are kept for quick return visits. Save locations to favorites, reorder them as you like, and open them anytime from the side menu. LOCATION YOUR WAY Grant location permission during onboarding for forecasts where you are. Prefer not to share location? Search for a city manually, or rely on approximate positioning when supported. MeteoTrend does not require GPS hardware — it works on tablets and devices without built-in GPS, including many Amazon Fire tablets. PERSONALIZED SETTINGS On first launch, set your preferred temperature, pressure, and wind units. Later, open Settings to adjust all unit types (including time, height, precipitation, and distance), change language, and review app information. The UI supports multiple languages and right-to-left layouts where applicable. Pull down on the home screen to refresh and fetch the latest forecast data. DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY USE Navigation is simple: a side drawer provides access to favorites, settings, about, rate, and share. Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are available in-app. Your preferences, favorites, and recent searches are stored locally on your device.
