Project Brief

Forget waiting for Al Roker or Ginger Zee to tell you the weather before heading out the door. With a quick glance at your phone, you are now the most modern meteorologist.

Users rely on apps to keep up to date with important information, especially the weather, as warnings and alerts can help users quickly access information and resources. It’s imperative that an app is reliable, but it’s a bonus when an app is gorgeous and fun to use. Weather Live has been declared the “most beautiful weather app ever” and gets its reputation by delivering real-time information and imagery of current weather conditions.

Project Need

Weather Live Free keeps Android users informed of weather news in their area and in multiple locations around the world. Weather Live’s real-time imagery (from patented technology) shows current weather conditions and accurate forecasts, and the app offers severe weather alerts for wind, rain, floods, thunderstorms, snow and ice, mist and fog, extreme heat/cold, and more. Users can choose a customizable layout with live weather scenes reflected on their screens.

User Experience

This app is considered the most beautiful weather app ever by its loyal fan base, because the developers catered to their users. Weather Live Free helps Android check current temperatures and accurate forecasts for the coming hours and days with a single swipe, featuring:

? Weather forecast and local time for multiple locations all around the world
? Extended forecast for any upcoming day of the week or hour
? Beautiful scenes reflecting real-time weather conditions
? Cloud/Satellite/Rain maps to track what weather is coming your way
? Bad weather alerts to warn users about severe weather in their area
? Indicators for pressure changes: a handy tool for pressure-sensitive people

Weather Live also allows users to customize their weather reports, as layouts can be adjusted to feature either basic or advanced information:

? 7-day and 24-hour weather forecasts
? "Feels Like" temperature
? Dew Point temperature
? Today’s Max and Min
? Wind direction, chill and speed (mph, km/h, m/s, knots or Beaufort)
? Humidity and precipitation information
? Visibility details
? Sunrise/Sunset and Moonrise/Moonset time
? Pressure in inches, mm, kPa or mbar
? Fahrenheit/Celsius and Miles/Kilometers

And while there are a ton of fitness and productivity apps designed for Android Wear, apps for weather are perfect for wearables (especially in extreme weather cases). Weather Live for Android-enabled smartwatches is like having a meteorologist right on your wrist.

Project Marketing

The app is at the right moment at the right place. All marketing is build about that: weather forecast, NOAA weather maps, live photos with current conditions - we meet our customers needs. We catch the most important natural phenomena that occur locally and build around it communication with users: whether it’s an usual question whether to take an umbrella, or which clothes to take to a trip

Project Privacy

The security and confidentiality of user information is very important to us, so we take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard user information from unauthorized access and disclosure.
