There is a new report from the Android world that will make a lot of weather forecasting app fans happy and it is from AccuWeather. According to AndroidPolice, AccuWeather has released a new feature inside its app that will let you see minute-by-minute forecasts that are sought-after by many people.
Now, we knew that there was a spectacular app available on both Android and iOS earlier known as Dark Sky that let you see minute-by-minute forecasts among other things. Sadly though, we had to report that Apple acquired Dark Sky and the app will be soon made exclusive to iOS only for obvious reasons.
Due to that reason, people who used Dark Sky on a daily basis and loved the app were left without any option. Not to worry anymore as AccuWeather has launched some features inside its own app that were available on Dark Sky only. One of those features is minute-by-minute forecasts telling you when the rain will start and when to expect snow or cloudy weather.
AccuWeather is also known to be working on a full overhaul with a redesign of its app. This overhaul is quite similar to the looks of Dark Sky app and we think it is a good thing while AccuWeather does keep its own identity alive. AccuWeather has also changed its logo which will be available from now on. Their interface has been redesigned too and you will have a bottom navigation bar for every section now.
Talking about the minute-by-minute forecast, AccuWeather has introduced what it calls a “MinuteCast” meter similar to a clock that shows you local precipitation forecasts. This is not exactly how Dark Sky’s minute-by-minute forecasts work but it is similar and we hope it works well. You also get dark mode with the new AccuWeather app along with a “black mode” as well. We have seen this to be a trend for most apps where “dark” mode is just Grey while “Black” is solid black.
Since the redesign is now available for AccuWeather, you can download the app from PlayStore or update your app if you already have it and the redesign will be live for yourself. It is known that the redesign was being worked upon for last three months meaning that most of the bugs have been squashed to give you a bug-free experience.
