Aelios Weather ★★★★☆ ($4.99 / App Store) for the iPad is a beautiful and unique weather app. There are dozens and dozens of weather apps available for the iOS but Aelios is one of the best looking with features not found elsewhere. The look and feel of the app is like that of a “Switch watch” and kind of functions like one as well. Viewing weather in different parts of the world is a joy to explore with the nicely integrated map that can be moved around or pinched like Google Maps. Two weather sources available: AccuWeather and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
Living Earth HD ★★★★☆ ($.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPad is an amazing World clock, weather and alarm. The app focuses on a beautifully and ultra realistic rendering of the Earth that spins as it should with the daylight and darkness changing along with cloud patterns for weather in near real time. Jumping from city to city, the Earth will spin to the location like your flying. The only draw back is that the user interface is quite unattractive, especially compared to the “living Earth” doing its thing on the screen.
Swackett ★★★★☆ ($.free / App Store) for the iPhone is a unique weather app in a market of dozens of other similar apps. A big reason we want to know the weather is to figure out what to wear for that particular day. Swackett does exactly this by visually showing you what articles of clothing you should be wearing. All in a simple but graphically pretty and understandable user interface.
