WeatherWheel: Alerts, Forecast Screenshot on iOS

Spin the wheel and watch the weather changing in realtime.

A very cool world-wheel defines our core component. This wheel allows you to move in time. While spinning the wheel, the weather changes in realtime.
We tried very hard to put in lot's of details. For example: The sun is rising exactly, when it is rising in the real world too. (same with the moon, moon phase, the whole weather,...!)

NEW: You can watch a very cool 5-day-live-weather-forecast commented by Siri. Just lean back and enjoy the show. This is also pretty incredible for disabled people.

We designed localized world-images for the following countries:
- USA (NYC, SFO)
- Austria
- Germany
- Switzerland
- France
- United Kingdom
- Brazil
- Italy
- Australia
- Japan
- China
- Russia
- India
- Turkey

More are coming soon. Send as an email with the country you want to see next! The most wanted countries will be added within the next weeks!

Designers, watch out!
If you want to help us in covering the whole world with images, send us an email and we will send you a template to get started. We will then add your earth image to the app. (You will be credited as well!)

You want some more cool features? You have got a question about the app, discovered a bug or want to tell us anything else? Just send us an email or visit our website.

Reviews

Sad
D.Marcotte

I really enjoyed this simple and fun app until they updated it. Now you cannot put in your location: or ANY location! So, since the app cannot work without a location, it's now worthless! Oh, and the support team won't get back to me either! Sweet.

Total crap!!

Set it for Fahrenheit, but it says 47 degrees instead of 20 degrees. Animation is trivial. Narration is spoken in German instead of English. Not worth the storage on my device. It will be deleted within the next two minutes. I'm sorry that I have to give it even one star.

Not For English Speakers

App is colorful, with illustrations taking the front seat instead of word-based information. Adding a location was initially confusing, as it's not clear if you're naming a location outer searching for one initially. The app can speak the forecast for you, but does so in German and there are no language options. So if you like pretty weather apps that communicated the forecast in pictures AND you're a German speaker, grab this one. I'm neither of those so this just isn't the app for me.

Neat Weather App!

This is a really beautiful and unique weather app! Try something different -- it's free to download (unless you want to pay to disable the non-intrusive ads), so give it a shot! A few comments/ideas for the developer: 1) Thanks for fixed the funny English-German-French voice mashup! Actually, it gave me such a pleasant laugh that you might consider letting pro users optionally change the voice from Normal to Silly in the settings so we can let other friends laugh too -- weather and a smile! 2) I live in The Bronx, which is one of the five boroughs in NYC. When I input my town or zip code, the app defaults to "New York" -- depending on your app's weather source, this means I'm getting weather inaccurate weather data from Central Park in Manhattan or one of the NYC airports in Queens (JFK or LaGuardia). Today, it was pouring here in The Bronx, but your app said it wasn't yet raining. If you could allow for more accuracy in NYC, that would be amazing. The five boroughs are The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Staten Island. Zip code capability here would be helpful! 3) I don't see a GPS mode even though I have permission when I first opened the app. If you have one, maybe you can make it clearer when it's enabled/disabled within the app because it doesn't appear to be tracking me even though iOS permissions are granted for your app. If you don't, it would be a helpful option for those that don't mind being tracked. I just drove from NYC to Miami Beach, Florida and back (we do many long road trips in my family!), and it would be crazy to input each town I'm driving through to get weather. 4) Can you make it possible to edit and reorder the frequently visited towns in our list? I keep having to scroll a lot, so it'd be helpful to shift things around from time to time. 5) In the future, I'd love to see the pictures vary a bit more. There's a lot more to NYC than the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building! ;-) It would be nice to select our preferred geolocation illustrations or let the app choose them at random to keep things interesting! I live in The Bronx, which has Yankee Stadium, The Bronx Zoo, The New York Botanical Gardens and many other points of interest. Each NYC borough has very interesting places, so I'd love to see more illustrations representing them! 6) I'd love to see extended weather for up to a week ahead in a more linear style (look at A Weather Way as an example of what I mean). Sometimes I'm rushing and can't spend time spinning the globe five days ahead! ;-p This is a wonderful app overall, and I definitely recommend it if you want to know the weather in a more unique and beautiful way. Support indie developers!

Pretty cool but,

It could be better. I like that you can make it speak the forecast but the voice is off putting, it's probably the default robotic voice but it's unpleasant. Plus the graphics get blurry as it's spins around and you can't really focus on the weather. The concept of this app is interesting but the execution could be better. Overall neat but I like the weather that comes with your iPhone a lot more.

Good app but needs improvement

This app is covered in ads... which makes it almost impossible to use. The developers seemed to have attempted to make this app have a clean fresh interface. But they failed it with the ads.

Cute

Kind of annoying that the app doesn't just register my current location for weather services, and THEN ask for more locations to add. That's a weather apps meta. And with tons of similar apps out there is important to have the basics before adding more independent designs. It's nice though, just annoyed by that one little detail. I recommend it.

This app have problems at beginning to this

Very plain

This app is just okay. If you are looking for more detailed weather, choose another app. This app will give you a cartoon like forecast with voice narration. The app is more of a novelty than it is for getting detailed information about the weather forecast.
