WeatherCare offering lifestyle tips for dealing with the elements

1 aspect of fitness is dealing with the weather in a good for you and safe way. The Windows Phone app WeatherCare hopes to aid yous combat the elements in a good for you, condom manner by providing weather tips based on your current conditions.

Tips range from health related to clothing tips to driving tips. On rainy days y'all may get a tip to picket for glace spots on the road or on sunny days with a loftier UV Index, tips to clothing sunscreen for protection.

WeatherCare has potential and I like the concept, but the app withal needs a piddling fine tuning.

WeatherCare is laid out across iii principal pages. You have Today's Tips, Now..., and a Settings page.

Today's Tips is a series of tiles that comprise your tips that should exist based on current weather condition atmospheric condition. The category of tips include health, driving, wearable, weather, sleeping and sports. Just tap on the tile and a pop-upward window appears with the tip.

The At present... page has your electric current weather conditions. The information includes the electric current temperature, cloud cover, rain levels, wind speed, UV index, humidity, visibility, barometric pressure, and sunrise/sunset times.

The Settings pages has options to set your blazon of skin (fair to dark), your preferred climate, well-nigh commonly used vehicle (motorbike, automobile or both), preferred measurement system, and enable/disable location services. The tips generated will be based, in part, from these settings.

Again, I think WeatherCare has potential simply needs a little fine tuning. The tips, while having merit, don't always seem to fit the current weather condition or are besides obvious. For instance, today'southward UV Index is showing a 4, which is considered moderate, and information technology's clouded with rain.WeatherCare's tips are suggesting the UV level is pregnant and I should be wearing sunscreen and I should wear outwear because information technology's common cold. If I'm bundling up, why would I need sunscreen?

World Atmospheric condition Online provides the atmospheric condition information and while having access to current conditions weather condition is nice, there is no extended forecast available or a way to manually refresh the weather data. The weather information is based on your current location and while you lot know where you lot're at, it would be nice if your location was displayed on the screen to confirm everything. The terminal little nit is that WeatherCare lacks Alive Tile back up to requite y'all a quick glance at the current conditions and tips.

All in all, WeatherCare is a nice app for your Windows Phone that has some helpful tips to better your lifestyle based on current conditions. It just felt as a piece of work in progress than a finished production. Luckily, in that location is a trial version bachelor and so you can give WeatherCare a try before investing in the full version ($.99).

WeatherCare is available for both Windows Phone eight and seven.ten devices and you tin find it hither in the Windows Telephone Shop.
