Weather Basic

Hello everyone! My goal was a quick, intuitive & easy to read interface for glancing at the forecast. Weather Basic exposes the basic components of the forecast to you in a presentable manner. Having no ads & being accessible were key to making it work for me. A few people were interested and tested for a while, so I decided to publish on the app store for more people to hopefully enjoy. Depending on download count and feedback, I can devote more of my time to app improvements, mostly to the quality of the forecast data. If you'd like to request a feature, you can reach out using the 'Report an Issue' button in the settings menu.

Do you think in Celsius but need to speak in Fahrenheit (or vice versa)? Or do you just want to know what “hot,” “mild,” or “cold” really means in both scales? WeatherCF shows both °C and °F at the same time so there’s no guessing or doing math. Home and Lock screen widgets keep dual-scale temps always visible. WeatherCF also gives clear hourly and seven-day forecasts. Whether you're switching between metric and imperial, traveling, or simply curious, WeatherCF makes understanding the weather fast, clear, and effortless from your lock screen to full forecasts. No clutter, no confusion—just both temperature scales side by side.
