Weather Basic
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Odd Weather gives you a clean, playful way to check the forecast without the usual weather-app clutter. Swipe through daily forecasts, pull down to search for another city, and tap the weather illustration to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Each day includes current conditions, high and low temperatures, hourly details, and tiny advice for things like golf, boating, outfits, and general “maybe don’t do that” weather situations.
