![]() ![]() Unlike most games the fog doesn’t actually hide the map, it just dulls it a bit. The Android app gives you a detailed world map, but applies fog to it. We'd have preferred to see a one-off payment option, but if you use the app regularly it should be worth the outlay.įog of World is a new, fun take on mapping apps, as it’s inspired by the ‘fog of war’ that you get in some video games (that being fog that obscures areas of a map that you’ve not been to yet) but applies it to the real world. The only downside is that after a two-week free trial of the Android app, you have to either put up with ads or pay a subscription, which will cost you $3.99/£3.69 per year. The clock is the main feature though and it’s a genuinely useful and different twist on weather forecasts. You can even get calendar events displayed on the weather clock, and away from that screen there’s also a radar view, complete with wind speeds and directions. Each hour of weather is presented by a segment on the clock face, giving you a clear way to instantly see the hour-by-hour weather for the next day at a glance.Īs well as seeing written temperatures on each hour, there’s also color-coding to represent the different temperatures and how clear the sky is. After all, how many times a day do you really check the weather? Plus, the app’s author does a good job of justifying the price, as not only is it a great Android app, they explain that the service used to retrieve the weather isn’t free, so for the app to be sustainable a subscription model is currently necessary.Ītmosphere Weather aims to stand out from the weather-watching crowd by presenting the forecast like a 24-hour clock. ![]() Subscribing to a weather app might seem unappealing, but most users probably won’t need to. To remove that limit, get rid of adverts, and unlock widgets, you’ll need to subscribe for $3.99/£3.99 per year. Information is largely presented on easy to read graphs and with large, clear text, and the forecasts come from Dark Sky, which is generally accurate in our experience.Ī sticking point might be the cost – the free version only lets you search for a forecast five times per day. Whether you like the style will be subjective, but feature-wise it has got everything most users need, including forecasts for the current day and the next seven days, complete with the temperature, what it ‘feels like’, precipitation, cloud cover, visibility and a whole lot of other details. Once a Windows Phone app, it’s finally made its way to Android, where it stands out through an attractive, minimalist and easy to navigate interface that has a look unlike most other weather apps. It’s not easy to get excited about weather apps, and we can’t claim that Appy Weather changes that, but most of us probably do use one or more of them regularly, and Appy Weather is well worth consideration. ![]()
