Accuweather Platinum feels not quite finished, like it still needs another level of refinement to compete with the top apps in the genre. The main problem is a layout that isn’t designed to take full advantage of the iPad’s intuitive gesture-based navigation. The app includes information such as 10 day and hourly forecasts, videos, and maps, but more interesting offerings, such as a “lifestyle” category give conclusions such as “moderate asthma risk” rather than concrete information.
