Why did I make another weather app? I’ve always loved them. Weather presents a fascinating design challenge: how do you explain what it feels like outside right now, what is unusual, and what will happen next without overwhelming people? After more than ten years as a professional iOS developer, I finally felt ready to build my own answer. Rainy Skies is independently developed and regularly updated with new features, refinements, and bug fixes. I have a list of future ideas a mile long, so there is plenty more on the forecast. I’d be incredibly grateful if you gave Rainy Skies a try. Weather apps are a dime a dozen, but maybe this one will resonate with you. Questions or feedback?
