AccuWeather.com is joining the “iPhone fray” for all those who need more detailed weather information than iPhone’s built-in app provides.
As expected, AccuWeather’s app goes well beyond basic weather featuring such things as:
- Location-aware info, limiting the need to enter user locations
- Animated, user-centric radar and satellite
- 5-day local forecasts with high and low temperatures and sky conditions for day and night
- Hour-by-hour forecasts
- Weather videos including national, regional, and local forecasts as well as breaking weather news, lifestyle weather, and several other entertaining and informative choices
- Health weather — including the UV, air quality, Arthritis Index, and Flu Index
- WeatherRisc graphs, which show probability of severe weather conditions over the next 8 hours
And that’s about it. As I said AccuWeather.com is a free app, and you can grab it from here (iTunes link).

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
