What you need to know
- Bjango has been working on a new weather app.
- Snowflake Weather is from the team behind iStat Menus.
- It uses weather data from multiple sources.
Another option for those who like to be prepared.
Bjango is a name that will be familiar to Mac users thanks to the excellent iStat Menus. Now the same developer has turned its hand to the weather, with Snowflake Weather now available for iPhone and iPad. There’s an Apple Watch app, too.
The idea behind Snowflake Weather is simple. It provides a powerful look at the weather via a nice, simple interface. And that weather data is accurate, too, because it’s being pulled from multiple sources.
We use the world’s best weather data from The Weather Company, AccuWeather, Dark Sky, and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. We have multiple servers across the globe, ensuring data is fetched as fast as possible. Snowflake is a weather app for people who love weather.
Snowflake Weather is available from the App Store for $4.99, giving you a standard set of features that includes no ads whatsoever. That’s always welcome.
