babeWeather is designed for people who don't want to interpret data to know what it's going to feel like outside. Rather than providing useless data points, like wind in miles or kilometers per hour, babeWeather designates data into categories like low, medium, and high. Pressure is checked for stability, not just current conditions, because low pressure doesn't cause migraines or achy joints, but rapidly declining pressure can. babeWeather also provides weather based hair care for users who opt in. UV, humidity, wind, and precipitation are evaluated and recommendations made in the case of threatening conditions.
Skycritter

It provides detailed forecasts, 'feels-like' temperatures, and moon phases, with optional upgrades for air quality and pollen data. Enjoy weather updates with personality, no ads, and no tracking.
- Pixel-art critter visualizes weather

SkyCritter is a weather app with a heart. A tiny pixel critter lives on your forecast and reacts to the sky outside: napping through clear nights, splashing in puddles, bundling up for the cold, and hiding under a blanket when thunder rolls. MEET THE CRITTERS Tabby the classic kitten comes free, and a growing roster of companions is waiting in the store: • Ash, a fluffy gray cat with sass and a soft heart • Huckleberry, a golden retriever puppy who loves every kind of weather • Ziggy, a very curious raccoon who is always getting into something (new!) • Diva, a Siamese kitten with main character energy (new!) Every critter has 18 weather looks with multiple poses, plus a voice of their own. Tap your critter to hear what they think of the weather. Watch for a full moon surprise. REAL WEATHER • Accurate current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, powered by Apple Weather • Living skies: day and night, stars, clouds, moon phases • Friendly explanations instead of cryptic error codes WIDGETS AND WATCH • Home screen and lock screen widgets with your critter and a fresh line • Apple Watch app and complications NOTIFICATIONS WITH PERSONALITY (optional, off by default) • A daily summary in your critter's own voice • Severe weather alerts SKYCRITTER PRO (one-time purchase) • Air quality and pollen indices with threshold alerts • Auto-updating widget Privacy first: your location is used only to fetch your forecast, never linked to your identity and never used for tracking.
