Description and Review

Yahoo Weather is an award-winning weather forecast application with a delicate and well-designed interface. The duration of the weather forecast in this app could vary from one hour, 5 days, to the utmost 10 days, all at your disposal. The app is more about weather forecasts but also the beauty of natural weather. It displays breathtaking scenery of weather pictures in accordance with the current weather condition in your local as well as the time of the day. With the assistance of Yahoo Weather, you can learn about the most detailed situation of weather conditions in your location. It means that the statistics and information about the wind direction, wind speed, pressure, and the chance of precipitation are all displayed clearly, making it possible for you to get to know the weather at one glance. What’s more, the presentation of statistics and weather-related info is accompanied by animated graphics of the sun’s rise and set, the blowing wind, as well as the modules of pressure, making the originally dull numbers and statements become vivid in expression, grabbing the attention of users at once. Furthermore, the app also features an interactive map equipped with the function of radar and satellite, showing the heat and snow. Apart from your current location, you can also add other cities or spots that you care about. Therefore, you can check out different weather in different locations at the same time. Sounds quite interesting, right? Don’t worry even if you are not that good at operations on the interface. The app’s talkback function will help you to deliver your instructions by talking to your mobile devices rather than by clicking on the screen. Thus, anyone could access this app’s function without spending too much effort. Also, it has been optimized for color contrast so your eyes will feel comfortable looking at the interface. When using the app, remember to scroll down for more information. You can check up to 20 cities with this app and by swiping from the left to right, you will be able to check different locations efficiently. In general, the app is impressive and distinguishes itself from the rest of the weather forecast apps with its focus on the user-friendly and well-designed aesthetic interface.
