I Lived with Another (Not Boring) App Family for a Week

• Jonathan

There’s something to be said for apps that follow the same, consistent iOS UI design that many do. It makes them far easier to use and, I would think, means they are slightly easier to build.

Sometimes, however, I like to see something wild. I recently wanted to find a new app that pushed the boundaries in terms of visual identity while still being useful. After some searching, I realized I already had one on my iPhone called (Not Boring) Weather – or ‘!Weather’, as the app is called once downloaded.
