AccuWeather is one of applications of the most popular weather of the Google Play Store. But despite its large number of downloads, the truth is that its interface still seemed a bit outdated, since it was designed for Holo, the Android 4 interface.
With the new year, the developers of the app have decided to give it a new image and renew it, so we finally found it adapted for material design.
This is the new version of AccuWeather
AccuWeather News
In addition to changing its image, AccuWeather has also greatly simplified the information it offers. Now everything appears divided into tabs Now, Hourly, Daily, Maps and Video. There is also a new navigation panel, in which we can find our __cpLocations.
What users have not liked too much is that with the excuse of simplifying the use of an app that we normally only want to know what the weather is going to be like the next day, now a lot is offered less information than before For example, the section of news has disappeared. It is true that there will be few who miss her, but it is also logical that criticism has rained.
Removed widgets
Another novelty that you may or may not like is that of the four widgets of AccuWeather that were available, now there is only one left. The temperature and rainfall graphs have also been removed, so it is no longer possible to consult the evolution of the weather, although we suppose that with future updates, some widgets from the past will return, renewed.
Despite the fact that all these changes may make many think that the app has gotten worse, the truth is that for what we most want (know what the weather is going to be like the next day in our area) AccuWeather is much easier now. And it's still one of the best weather apps What can we find in the store? android apps, It has been installed between 50 and 100 million times, almost nothing! with more than 1,4 million ratings by users, which give it 4,3 stars out of 5 possible.
