◇ Summary As a relative of this app, there is an iPad application with FLAT Weather Clock for iPad. This iPhone App follows the basic design, but this App is used the latest SDK and written in the latest Swift version, many weather information can display in various forms. The iPhone has a narrow screen size but it has a higher portability than iPad. So I needed to think different concepts. One of the concepts of the iPad application is the clock function, but as the users frequently operates the iPhone and users can check the time by looking at the lock screen or status bar. So the clock function becomes unnecessary. Just as it is not contradictory to the name of the application, I implemented it so that the design can be displayed as it is by tapping clock button. ◇ Feature The iPad version packed various functions on one screen. There was little information volume and it was simple. So In the iPhone app version, I used several Tabs to display different information. You can check current weather, weekly weather forecast, and world weather information. I use almost all information obtained by weather information. From iOS 13, you can use this app with dark mode. Please enjoy!! ■ Current Weather With Current Tab you can check the weather info of your location. In addition, you can use the clock function and the indicator whether to bring an umbrella today. By taping the + button at the bottom of the screen you have made it possible to display even more information. I added the function to show a map in the background of the content screen. It can also be hidden from setting when it is not necessary. ■ Forecast With Weekly Tab, you can check the weather forecast for your location (max 16 days). Information for one day is displayed on one card UI. Swipe sideways to see the next day's information. In addition, vertical scrolling is possible for additional information part. Since it is forecast to the last, please trust the latest weather. ■ World Weather With World Tab, you made it possible to check the weather of the world. Currently fixed data is available for 20 cities. I plan to implement it so that you can freely customize it in future updates. If you have any request please send me a mail from the feedback part of the setting. ■ Customize scale and time-mode The last Tab is a setting. You can select the display mode of your favorite scale and time on the internal setting screen. In the feedback, you can send a bug-fix request and a function addition proposal by e-mail. I would like to value user feedback. Please use all means. ◇ For Users If you find a bug or you would like to suggest adding functionality, please send feedback from on the Settings screen. Thanks. Have a beautiful life!! This App obtains weather data from OpenWeatherMap APIs.
