- 33 cloud index cards for the main cloud genera, species, varieties and special clouds
- a gallery containing more than 120 awesome pictures
- an illustrated guide which simply explains what is a cloud and how clouds are classified
- a chart of the 10 cloud genera
- a setting allowing you to switch between metric and imperial measurement system
The only thing you'll have to do is looking up... Enjoy your spottings!
Just remember: "It is rare that a cloud gets the shape of a cloud." Ylipe

I’ve loved this app forever...
Haninay
But because it’s been around for so long, they really need to update their images. The beautiful images look so low quality on current screens. Still, useful and I adore it.
Lovingly crafted reference guide

It’s great the developer continues to support the app some seven years after releasing it. Not much to it: clouds and selected weather phenomena, pictures and brief descriptions. At a basic level, I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s accessible and utilitarian. If I were to nitpick however: It could use a little proofreading in the descriptions, but from what I understand, English is not the developer’s first language, nbd. Metric conversions would be nice for us savages that still use feet and fahrenheit. Also, common iOS gestures such as swiping left edge to right to go back and a downward swipe to exit a picture aren’t supported. On notched iPhones, the back button is partially obscured and not in the display’s safe zone per Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines. Otherwise, it’s a great app, honest in function, with a no nonsense pay-once price.
I’m so smart

My friends think I’m so smart when I name the clouds. Name-dropping with nature and the weather. Smarter than saying “fluffy” or “rain clouds”.
Not enough education

Even in this app they have a actually picture of a Plane Contrails. They dissipate the Ice When the sun is out. Gov/CIA already admitted they spray toxins they change name to aerosols atmosphere injections if you don’t cover it then I think it is a CIA app
Very well done

This new update works without a problem, bug free. Nice app with good descriptions of cloud types. Landscape mode not included but would benefit iPad users. Good job!
Great Resource

I am an atmospheric science student and this app is incredible for identifying clouds. It runs smoothly and has great pictures. Definitely worth the money! Don't miss out!
Wish it was universal...

I dislike having to pick which device I want the app to run on, but less than I dislike paying for two versions of an app. At least this version will open on my iPad. -1 star for greed. Otherwise I hope it will be a useful pocket reference. Runs well enough, though doesn't feel 100% native (was it developed in one of the HTML5 app builders?). I'd also enjoy more images.
Beautiful and Helpful

You don't have to be a nature nerd to love this application. With breathtaking images you can't help but look at the sky differently.
