AccuWeather For The iPhone Now Features Customizable Forecasts

AccuWeather has just unveiled a new look for its iPhone app with a recent update that borrows some popular features from the iPad version.
Version 6.0 of the app is highlighted by the ability to create customizable My AccuWeather forecasts. For example, you can choose the ideal temperature, wind speed, and local weather for outdoor fitness activities. The app will then tell you how the current weather stacks up to your ideal conditions.
The app now also has the option to show more or less weather detail. The forecast now also refreshes every five minutes. And finally, the forecast states the probability of precipitation.
AccuWeather for the iPhone can be downloaded now in the App Store for free. It does contain ads, but they can be disabled for an in-app purchase of $1.99.
I really like the new look to AccuWeather. The iPad version is one of my favorite weather apps, and I’m glad to see some of those nice features transfer over well to the iPhone.
It’s been a busy time for weather app updates. Along with the Weather Channel for iPad and NOAA Radar Pro, WeatherBug for the iPhone, and Radarscope have all recently received some nice improvements.
