Discussion

Weatheroux for Android App FreeWeatheroux is a fairly new app so it’s still on that stage wherein it needs to polish its features to provide a better performance. Nonetheless, the app still manages to offer a seamless user interface with elegant elements. It is also easy to use so you don’t have to wonder whether you can correctly understand the terms given for forecasting the weather.

So upon launching the app, you get to view its default welcome screen. On its welcome screen, the app displays various details that would help you know whether it would be sunny, cloudy, rainy, stormy, etc.

To change your location, simply tap the location that is currently being displayed by the app. Next, enter your own city or country then wait a bit until the app gets to update the weather forecast based on the information that you’ve entered.

Now, if you click on the cloud icon, you’ll be able to switch to future forecasts. That’s not all. You can also view the temperature as well as other weather-related information such as the time for sunrise and sunset, etc.

On the downside, Weatheroux still has a lot of aspects that needs to be polished and updated. One good example of this is its lack of home screen and lock screen widget support. Plus, there’s no way to switch the app to landscape mode. There’s also no time and date so if you’re new to the app, you’ll need to make the most of what you have.

Anyways, Weatheroux works pretty well without any notable glitches or error. It’s just a bit disappointing to find out that it doesn’t support landscape mode. There’s also no settings menu plus you cannot customize the refresh time/update interval. This simply means that the app can’t give you real-time update for weather.

So all in all, the app has good points and bad points. It may offer good visuals but it is quite lacking when it comes to its functionality. While it’s not really the app of choice for or users who are looking for in-depth weather forecasts, it can suit those who are merely looking for a simple yet beautiful weather app that they can place on their desks or bedside table.
