Another little useful freebie for your iOS devices.

From the website:

Accurate weather. Picture reflects actual weather, day, night, even season.

YoWindow is a unique new weather app. The magic of YoWindow is a living landscape that reflects your actual weather. For instance, if it's raining - it rains in YoWindow.

The sunset and the sunrise in YoWindow happens at exactly the same time as in real life.

But the great thing is you can scroll the time forward. Just swipe the screen and you will see how the weather is going to change throughout the day.

Simple!

All the weather at your fingertips. You see the current weather, the forecast for today and for several days ahead.

Beautiful!

State of the art landscapes change depending on the season. The artwork is designed down to the smallest detail. Choose a landscape that fits best for your area.

Enjoy!

    Why not just use the free BOM app? Surely getting accurate information is more import than a pretty picture?

    • Lysander on 05/07/2021 - 10:49

      This does both.

        Yeah nah, I doubt this is accurate. Weather apps that support international locations generally source their info from places that leave a lot to be desired for accuracy in Australia.

        Does it use the data from B.O.M. ?

          From their site:

          Where YoWindow takes the CURRENT weather from?
          YoWindow takes the current weather from METAR stations network. There are around 4380 active METAR stations scattered around the world. Most of them are located in airports.

          YoWindow picks the closest METAR station to the location you choose. Then the current weather is loaded from this station.

          You can find METAR stations near your place on this site.

          In mobile editions of YoWindow you can also choose the following current weather providers.
          Weather Underground
          Open Weather Map

            @sonic910: I'd choose BOM over those. Especially for forecasting.

            @sonic910:

            METAR stations network

            There are no weather stations in Australia that aren't operated by the Bureau of Meteorology.
            There is also no such thing as the 'METAR stations network', since METAR is a format for reporting weather information.

            You are likely to get less accurate weather from any app that promises this, because they focus on airports rather than cities.

            • PainToad on 05/07/2021 - 13:20

              @zzymurgy: Technically OpenWeatherMap has crowd sourced amateur weather stations operating at people’s homes.

            • sonic910 on 16/07/2021 - 07:33

              @zzymurgy: I agree with you. I was only posting what was on their website.

    How is it useful ?

    Do they have one with prison walls for Victorians ?

    If this was an app that is/has a dedicated widget that performs this time lapse function, I’d give it go!

  • krouton24 on 05/07/2021 - 11:33

    Abandonware? No updates for 2 years

    What’s the difference between this and the ‘Awesome’ version? (https://apps.apple.com/au/app/awesome-weather-yowindow/id799…)

    Looks like it was $2.99 but is now free

    The ‘Awesome’ version has always been free.

    Last updated 2 years ago, probably abandoned.

    Love this app, really good.
