Description:
Weather Machine is not the usual weather application. It is not only easy to use, reliable and complete (having more than 58,000 weather stations around the world), but it stands out with a beautiful and original graphical interface. To show weather information, Weather Machine uses beautiful and clear panels that float in the blue sky, allowing you to travel through time, projecting you into the future with simple and natural gestures of your hand. You can see all the weather details you need, including:
* Maximum and minimum temperatures
* Perceived temperature
* Speed of the wind and its direction
* Atmospheric pressure
* Dew point
* UV Index
* Humidity
* Probability of rain
And there's more: you can view the current situation of each locality, have forecasts of the next 5 days, and you can also go even more in detail consulting forecasts divided into day quarters for the next 48 hours.
*****************************************************
Please consider that weather forecasts ARE NOT based on the presence and on the proximity of observation stations but rather on forecast grids initialized from model soundings and satellite data.
So the lack of nearby current condition stations DOES NOT actually mean a lower accuracy of the forecasts.
Anyway CustomWeather assured that observation stations will be increased from MADIS.
*****************************************************
By rotating your iPhone, you can browse hour-by-hour weather forecasts and maps of your preferred regions. In addition, you can use the GPS receiver to accurately determine the closest location to you so to have related weather information.
You also have the possibility to customize the appearance of Weather Machine by choosing an image in your photo library to use it as background image.
But this is only the beginning: you will have the assurance of continuous and frequent updates where will be corrected any problems you will find and, above all, will be issued new and useful features. Here a preview of the next releases:
* Weather alarms for US only
* Severe weather warnings for the whole world
* Support for other languages

Excellent value for money

Really really really superb application!
The idea is great and no other weather applications reach its originality. To me realization is great.
UPDATE: Thanks for this update. In fact I requested to the developer something to understand in which days hour-by-hour forecasts are present and he has added the clock icons to the items of the timeline. In addition he added hints which are really useful to fully understand all the secrets of this app. Great!!!
Boy, keep on in this way!!!
Great weather application

I bought this application just for curiosity but it immediately appeared as a great surprise. I love it!!!
The graphical interface is really original and looks great, the user experience is the best I've ever seen for applications like this. It's a pleasure to use it and to interact with my iPhone in such a way. Moreover weather data are reliable and their layout is designed very well.
The latest update of this application is a big jump ahead with a plus due to the panel with hour-by-hour forecasts.
Believe in me, this application is good enough to eliminate all the other weather applications.
Recommended to all of you. 5+ stars
A well thought out weather app

The designers have done a great job with the presentation and functionality of the app. I have tried all the "big" weather apps and this one trumps them all with the level of detail offered. I particularly love the sun and moon info. This is the only weather app to include this information, which is great for backpackers in order to maximize hiking time. The interface is refreshing and truly innovative. Thanks for a job well done.

This is the first iPhone like Weather App i've seen. I've used many other Weather Apps and they are all just simple text screens. I dumped my Blackberry for a reason. This App really does have a great appearance to it. I can't give it 5 stars tho b/c it still needs some work. The navigation or screen movements are a little slow, they don't seem to snap like an iPhone screen should. I can't get the Locate Me-Insert coordinates to work. It simply quits to the Weather Machine App home screen. The Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night forecast is great. Being able to choose your own background is another plus and very nice.
This is a great App and I will be deleting the others I have been using. I'm also looking forward to updates based on feedback.

This app is definately the best weather app (paid and free) on the store. I can't believe it only has an average of three stars! It was a little hard to figure out at first, but it's still a great app. Besides, you never know when there's going to be an update!

Great app,easy to use and has an excellent interface.I do have a couple of recommandations.
Firstly doesn't seem as responsive as it should do for the price.And maybe in a future uppdate you could add email,so that you can email weather info to friends.Other than that great,five stars.
