WeatherWheel: Alerts Forecast
WeatherWheel is a beautifully designed weather app that offers a practical overview, weather alerts, and a unique way to browse through your weather forecast. The app features a cool world-wheel component that allows you to move through time, with the weather changing in real-time as you spin the wheel. This attention to detail extends to elements like the sun and moon, which rise and set at the same time as in the real world.
One standout feature is the 5-day live weather forecast, which is commented by Siri, making it enjoyable for users to lean back and watch. This feature is particularly useful for disabled individuals. WeatherWheel also provides weather alerts through push messages, with data sourced from NOAA's National Weather Service.
A notable addition to the app is the precipitation radar, which provides users with up-to-date information on rainfall. Currently, WeatherWheel offers localized world images for several countries, including the USA, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, United Kingdom, Brazil, Italy, Australia, Japan, China, Russia, India, and Turkey. The developers are actively working on adding more countries based on user requests.
WeatherWheel is designed to be accessible to all users, including kids and blind individuals. The app can be explored through Siri's spoken forecasts, making it a valuable learning tool for kids interested in weather. For any inquiries, bug reports, or feedback, users can contact the developers via email or visit their website.
Please note that WeatherWheel also offers a subscription service called WeatherWheel PRO, which provides an ad-free experience and unlimited cities. The subscription is auto-renewing and can be managed through the user's iTunes Account settings.
