Aelios Weather ($2.99) is a brand new iPad app that allows users to explore the world, and check out weather forecasts - all within an application that was designed "like a finely crafted Swiss watch," according to its developer.
The app, which hit the App Store earlier today, offers a variety of features - including a virtual watch, a clever location detector and a weather poster, which displays "easy to read" weather forecasts. Here's a full list of features, as outlined in Aelios Weather's release notes:
Currently, the iPad version of Apple's mobile operating system does not feature a built-in Weather app (like the iPhone and iPod touch). This means that if iPad owners want to access forecasts on the go, they must utilize a third-party app. While a variety of alternatives are available to download in the App Store (for a lesser price than $5.99, too), Aleios Weather is a beautiful creation - a luxury app, if you will. Be sure to check it out, as mentioned it's available for $5.99. And if you're already a fan of Aleios Weather, let us know in the comments. [via MacStories]
