Miso Weather is a real forecast with a character living inside it. Open it and you get what you came for. The hourly graph, the 10 day, precise rain timing, sun and moon, air quality, and official government alerts. Underneath that, a character reads the same data and tells you what it means for your day. Grab an umbrella. Light jacket. Best window is 3 to 5. She reacts to your actual weather. When it rains she looks up. When it snows the world goes quiet and white. Tap her and she notices. Share the day's call from any world as a card your friends can read at a glance. Then pick the world you want to open every morning. Classic is clean and quiet. Princess Kitty is a pastel castle. Cosmic is deep space. Cloud Post writes you a letter about your day.
