Weather apps are a part of our daily routine. Check it in the morning, check it at night, all to make sure we are prepared for what awaits us outside our homes. However so many of these apps feel clinical and data-centric, with their barrage of numbers and not-so colorful designs.
Everyone has different lifestyles, meaning they have unique needs. So we find that once you can control what you REALLY need to keep track of, you can control the weather.
AccYou was designed for all of the You's out there. The design incorporates a color and a symbol system that recognizes a need to be united, yet diverse.
The problem with AccuWeather was the lack of human-centric features that help the users curate a weather app that suits their specific needs.We want to make AccuWeather the only weather app someone will use for anything they need so they don’t have to check and recheck other resources to keep track of the weather
New in-app features that will introduce in-depth customizability options, notification controls, and localized community updates.
Redesign current application to create a more personalized experience based on a user’s needs.
