Most people will be served by apps similar Bing Weather and AccuWeather, merely a lot of folks take different preferences and wants from a weather app. Some desire a ton of details and as much data as possible, while others just want to know the current temperature. The fact that weather apps can vary is why we like covering them. Perchance the new weather app we're roofing will be perfect for you if you haven't found the one for you lot still. Today we're checking out newcomer Blue Skies for Windows Phone. Information technology's simple, it'southward clean and it'due south currently free for a limited time.

Blue Skies

This isn't the virtually avant-garde and detailed weather app in the Windows Phone Store, but we're really liking the simplicity of Blue Skies. Though it does manage to sneak in more details if you want them. For example, on the five twenty-four hour period forecast page yous tin only tap a given twenty-four hours to expand information technology and get more information almost it.

The app is free until May 1st, so we recommend picking it upward and taking it for a spin. Information technology costs developers a pocket-sized fee to use the forecast.io APIs, which is why this app won't always be complimentary going frontward. We're happy with it so far and would gladly pay a dollar or two to use the app in the time to come.
