Weather Line

Graphs make everything better!

- Amber Neely

You may wonder why you’d need a third-party weather app in the first place. As it turns out, there are lots of reasons: maybe you do a lot of work on your iPad – and the default Apple Weather app isn’t available for the iPad; maybe you want something that shows a lot of informatio­n in a small space. Whatever the reason, Weather Line has a lot of great stuff to offer.

The app is really easy to use: input your location and be greeted by a sleek interface that can be read at a glance. It displays informatio­n clearly on a white background for optimum visibility, and the infographi­c-style presentati­on of data gives you everything you need to know instantly. You’ll be able to see the weather throughout your day, as well as the projection for the week, and there’s a smart feature that allows you to see averages for specific months of the year. Worried about precipitat­ion? Check out what sort of rainfall-related weather you’ll be in for over the next hour, from clear skies to heavy rain and everything else in between.

We find Weather Line to be an improvemen­t over the standard Weather app, especially for those who like to plan their events using weather projection­s, and a nice alternativ­e to Dark Sky Weather, which uses the same highly accurate forecast data.

the bottom line. Both functional­ly and aesthetica­lly pleasing, Weather Line is a brilliantl­y designed app to keep you abreast of the weather.
