New from the developers at Robocat, ‘Outside’ is a neat little Weather app that is unlike any I’ve seen before. It’s quite customizable, and allows you to follow current conditions, local forecasts and more… Plus you can setup custom push notifications to ensure you always know what’s going on weather-wise… or to alert you whenever a certain weather condition is met.

The imagery for the app is quite unique. Pop open the app to check the weather, and it’s like you’re looking out a window to see what the current conditions are. Clever.

You can even set custom notifications to let you know when certain conditions are reached… For example, ‘T-Shirt Weather’. Whatever temperature you deem to be ‘t-shirt weather’, you can have the app send you a notification once the temperature reaches that mark. Cool.

Key features of ‘Outside’ include:

  • custom push notification service (30 days of free push notifications… after which you’ll need to sign up for a subscription)
  • local and current weather for locations around the world
  • Fahrenheit and Celsius support
  • GPS enabled to track your current location

The only bummer I can see with this one is the actual push notification service. When you buy the app you get 30 free days of push notifications. To extend this service you’ll need to sign-up for a subscription for a nominal fee.

‘Outside’ is available now for $2.99 in the App Store (iTunes link).
