AccuWeather.com for IPhone
Most people don't expect much of the person delivering the weather report-- timeliness, a peek beyond the obvious, and of course, a fairly accurate prediction of what's soon to come. AccuWeather.com, the iPhone and iPod touch offering from the granddaddy of weather forecasters, is timely and appears as accurate as the other top weather apps for Apple's mobile devices. It also sports a clean, intuitive interface and an elegant design that's easy on the eyes.
Clear Skies For Now: AccuWeather's home screen is pleasant to look at, and provides basic current information--but not a hint of what's to come. But AccuWeather.com does have one major flaw: in many aspects, it lacks depth.
AccuWeather provides just enough information on the home screen to let you know it's a weather app: current temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, and "RealFeel". The background image does change with time of day and conditions: light with clouds (or blue skies, or umbrellas) during the daytime, dark at night. This is cotton eye candy--it looks great the first few times around, but soon it wears thin, and you're wondering why the screen space isn't given over to, say, a brief forecast, or perhaps even a larger font for the current conditions.
