iPhone A weather app for power users who love clean design

[aoifh]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a weather app I’ve been building called weat.

There are plenty of weather apps out there, but I struggled to find one that offers deep functionality and high customizability while keeping a clean, clutter-free design. Most feature-packed weather apps tend to get noisy very quickly.

So I built weat to bridge that gap—designed to be as simple or as detailed as you need it to be.

Key features:

• Multi-Source Data: Choose and switch between global and regional weather agencies to get the data you trust most.
• Radar & Rain Forecasts: High-resolution precipitation radar and short-term rain predictions.
• Modular Layouts: Fully customizable main screen so you only see what matters to you.
• Full Apple Watch Experience: Native watchOS app with rich complications and widgets.
• Zero Ads / Clean Design: Focused purely on data without visual distractions.

I’m a solo developer and continuously improving it. Hope you enjoy it!

Can I also choose from local weather stations in weat?

The problem I have with the vast majority of iPhone weather apps is that they're aimed at the US market, where the same weather can persist for hundreds of kilometres. I live in Germany, though, which means that "global" weather models—as well as weather stations located several kilometres away from my location—will almost certainly produce the wrong results.

So far, I've been relying on Weather Mate. It looks like a showcase of the worst design decisions from iOS 5 and Windows XP, but it's incredibly accurate. That's because it even lets me choose which specific weather station in my city I want to use.

weat allows you to choose different forecast data sources based on your location.

If you are in Germany, you can select the DWD forecast model (integrated via Google Weather) in the location settings. You can also toggle the interactive weather map to show official DWD radar observation layers.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Pretty well designed. Reminds me a bit of the Zune UI. LOVE the outfit section and the ability to switch weather providers. I think the free version gives you just enough of a taste of what it can do without making it useless, it makes you want more. The decision to blur out the weather maps but still allow you to play with the timeline is genius. I'm pretty happy with Apple Weather overall in the states, even though with Dark Sky integration, it's not quite accurate all the time (what is though?). I would like to see what it's like on the Apple Watch without purchasing it though. I use weather almost exclusively through that; I understand I may be in the minority there.

Just downloaded and subbed for a year. While the price (on sale) is reasonable, I much prefer the 1 time purchase option. If that isn't offered, the chances of me continuing past a year are slim to none. I like the contrast between minimalist look and the detailed information.

Thanks for the great feedback! Really glad you liked the UI and the map timeline concept.

You're definitely not in the minority—using weather apps almost exclusively on the Watch makes total sense, especially for quick glances. Appreciate you sharing that perspective, and I'll keep it in mind for how I showcase the watch experience!

Thank you so much for downloading and subscribing for the year! I'm really glad you like the contrast between the minimalist look and the detailed information.

I completely understand where you're coming from regarding one-time purchases versus subscriptions. Because weather data and server APIs have ongoing operational costs, a subscription model is currently necessary to keep the app running sustainably—but I really appreciate the honest feedback, and I'll keep it in mind as I evaluate pricing options in the future.

Thanks again for the support, and I hope you enjoy using the app!
