APPS WE LOVE

Hello Weather

This handy helper is a ray of sunshine.

With cute illustrations and colourful Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Hello Weather brightens your day (no matter the chance of rain).

What we love: Switching among 11 data sources for better accuracy when travelling, granular stats such as pollen levels and more. The impressive Apple Watch app (and its elegantly designed complications) gives you key forecasts at a glance.

Hello Weather’s charts help you plan for the day (and week) ahead. Or check out the radar for a zoomed-out view.

Quick tip: Touch and hold on any weather stat to customise how it’s displayed.

Meet the creator: Electric Dream Machine is a team of two – Trevor Turk on development and Jonas Downey on design. They spent three years developing Hello Weather. “We built our own custom server infrastructure to ensure the app runs as fast and privacy-focused as we can possibly make it,” Turk says.
