Ventusky, a very colorful app to check the weather on your Android mobile

most of apps to see the weather on Android They are more or less the same: a summary of minimum and maximum temperatures, whether rain is expected or not and little else, all in a package that can be more or less beautiful. Ventusky is a little different, focusing more than anything on colorful maps.

The app is similar to Windy.com in the display of weather conditions with animations showing wind direction and with colors indicating temperature, precipitation or other data directly on the map.

They don’t tell you the time: you see it

Traditional weather maps – for example, those that appear on television – generally are limited to include a sun, a cloud or another representative icon of the most important cities or regions, perhaps with some additional data such as temperature. Ventusky is more or less the same, but using animations and colors to show you the weather forecast in a way that’s nice to see.

The widget is not as pretty as the map, really
