Weather App thats as much fun to use as it is to look at.

Miles away from the typical clinical look, Uncharted Weather is a tribute to Uncharted game series, and uses visuals from the games to present weather conditions.

Despite the playful visual style, no compromise has been made to speed and usability. This is one of the fastest apps of its kind, serving the most up to date weather information from anywhere in the world.

Heres what makes Uncharted Weather stand out:

• Icon Badge shows the most current temperature. The badge will update even while the app is closed.
• Playful interface with animated rain, snow and lightning, all running at smooth 60 frames/second.
• Very fast weather updates, usually a second or less on a good connection. Always up to date weather from anywhere in the world.
• Weather Warnings and additional data available for locations in USA, Canada and Europe.
• ‘Feels Like’ is clearly displayed front and center, when its different from the measured temperature.
• Live Wind Direction feature shows the direction wind is coming from, regardless of where youre facing. Never again have to guess if the wind will blow into your face as you prepare to walk down the street.
• Countdown Day Count can be displayed on the Icon Badge. The Day Countdown badge will update for up to 7 days, even if the app is never started during that time.
• Environment Canada service is used for weather conditions in Canada, providing the most current data available.
• Quick, swipe based settings screen. Find your location using GPS, or by typing your Zip Code, Postal Code, City name, or City and Country in the search field.
• Multiple info pages available. Just tap on the weather info to cycle through them.
• Selectable countdown date, so you can see the time left to any important event. Tap on the forecast or the weather info to switch between the countdown and the weather info.

Pros and cons of Uncharted Weather app for iPhone and iPad

Uncharted Weather app good for

This is an all around great weather app. Everything I want to know in one place and its fun!
Looks and works great! I love the adventurous look it has, and is as fast as promised.
really cool app!! smooth interface and just reminds me that I love Uncharted!! Great app Marko!!
This app is really great! Works very well so far! Works with several cities Ive been to recently. And it just looks way vetter than the default weather app.
Very good uncharted themed weather!! Perfect for Uncharted fans!! I would recommend it to anyone!!
Weather used to be so scary. I found this app and realized someone understood.

Some bad moments

Plus This is a very accurate app. There is also tons of information presented. The Uncharted locales are aesthetically pleasing. Minus It would be nice to have separate tabs for different locations, common to most weather apps.
I like the reviewer before me wish I could put multiple locations into the app like other weather apps but its great none the less it also has a handy count down timer that you can change at will but its default count down is for the uncharted 3 game release date of Nov. 1st 2011.
Though I agree with the multiple location settings and wish you could toggle off the alerts, this is a great app. The backgrounds are stunning and the amount of information this app supplies was surprising. The only other thing I think would make the app better is if you could have the temperature tag run the days left on the countdown timer instead. Love the app and its defiantly worth the tiny $1 fee.
The badge (temperature readout badge in my case) doesnt stay for long. It disappear the next time I press the unlock button to wake my phone up. I have to open the app up to get my badge back on the icon!
The lite version was fun and extremely accurate but to get the full version for free. Um, no brainer. App works great, very accurate quick loading. If you are an uncharted fan this is a must.
1 month and 30 days left for the beggining to unfold the once and again Game of the Year Award. Everybody get ready for Uncharted 3 Drakes Deception.
