Hello Weather
Like most people who like trying different apps for the same task on their iOS devices, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with weather apps on the iPhone and iPad. For the past couple of years, I’ve been using Weather Underground, a well-known weather service with a native iOS app that packs a lot of information and customization options to get exactly the kind of weather report and forecasts you want.
What sets Weather Underground apart – at least in my area – is the quality of its weather data, which is often more precise and timely than other services. Weather Underground’s accuracy is, I believe, partly due to its reliance on crowdsourced data: the company integrates with a variety of weather stations that provide hyper-local reports that inform the service’s database via real-time stats. For instance, there’s a public Netatmo weather station at the end of the street where I live, which I can browse and mark as a favorite in the Weather Underground app.
