Today’s Best Apps tackles this problem by providing you with a handpicked and tested list of apps that are truly worth your consideration each and everyday. Remember: Even though in-app purchases typically require your iTunes Store password for processing, you can further prevent them and other unauthorized actions by enabling local restrictions using the passcode locked iOS parental controls

iPhone:

Weathergram – Nature Lovers Will Love It! by Martin Ivanov (Free, 14.0 MB): Receive extra enjoyment and inspiration each time you check those outdoor conditions with this simple but elegant weather app. Similar to Yahoo! Weather and a few other apps, one of the big impressions from Weathergram comes from fellow nature admirers, specifically, ones sharing amazing scenes on their Instagram pages. Although, the observation of life doesn't stop there. In addition, you'll be given some uplifting wisdom via a weather-related quote. Of course, credit is due and, therefore, both the quote author and photographer are identified with an easy swipe right. Regarding data, the app includes current measured and relevant temps, a week ahead forecast panel shown using a leftward swipe, automatic and manual location input, plus Metric and Imperial preference options. Data is provided by World Weather Online.
