Weather Bug Elite: A Weather App to Follow Bad Weather

[APPS]
by Roger B Rueda












Weather apps come to grips with functionality and sleek designs, but visually they aren’t fancy or super nice or even over the top pleasing. The ones that do show some subtlety in functionality usually go overboard with the fanciness and disproportionately count on your smartphone’s GPS services, which can give in your data plan rather rapidly. Nevertheless, if you want smooth graphics in your weather updates and an app that not only does the work, but also looks great while doing it, then Weather Bug Elite is the app that finishes your rummaging around for quality.

The Weather Bug Elite Android app has a few qualities that are worth turning over in your mind. Some of them put it higher up in the pecking order of weather apps. At the start, you can personalise the way you choose to view your weather with at-a-Glance weather widgets that are provided within the app itself. This warrants that your weather app looks like what you want it to look like. One of the key features of an Android phone is its high litheness in terms of customisation of settings. This way the app represents you as much as your phone does.

Every widget focuses on different styles and lays predominant importance on different features, so you know which one is important to you and for that reason you can choose. The weather widgets have large display maps, so weather movement can be seen easily. The maps make it quick to read. Information due to colour coding is easier to blend in.

One can switch to large maps for better visualisation and the maps are so comprehensive one can even track imminent storms using them. Landscape and portrait modes can be drawn on, and this app automatically adjusts itself to fit either mode without a glitch.

The app provides users with an in-built GPS and GPRS intelligence-driven GPS location tracker. So if you allow the app to ‘Find Me’ it circumvents your location settings and automatically spots your location to give you exact location-driven weather information.

The applets you view WeatherBug National Outlook videos in a very high resolution, which is about 640×480. It also provides fixed images so that bad connexions aren’t stopping you from receiving vital information. This includes quick-glance snaps and even live camera images of the weather. This weather app also uses your current location to find 15 locations in a 100 mile radius of you to present you these details.

The app has radar animation which is a favoured tool amongst weather app users and is provided by most of the other apps. You can pan and zoom through the maps and it also lets for time-lapse animation. It has a nice layered way to dividing your weather details in relation to the temperature, moistness, pressure and even things like visible satellite, Doppler radar, infrared satellite, wind speed and due to the extent of detailing the app can even give you a fairly accurate estimate of tomorrow’s weather highs and lows. The forecasts extend not only to the next day, but 7 days in advance. The forecasts are in depth enough to consider hour divisions.
