Shade Weather App Gains New 7-Day Forecast Layout, Improved Graphics And More
December 28, 2013
The color- and graph-based weather app Shade has just received its first major update.
Released on the same day as the latest major iteration of Apple's mobile operating system, Shade is a weather app that's clearly designed and optimized for iOS 7.
Indeed, my colleague Daniel notes in his original review of the app here on AppAdvice, "While Shade contains all of the simplicity of any decent weather app, it’s the only one I’ve come across so far that actually feels like it was built for iOS 7."

Also including bug fixes and performance enhancements, the new version of Shade is available now in the App Store as a free update or as a new $1.99 download. The app is optimized for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 7.0 or later. For more notable weather apps, check out AppAdvice's Best iPhone Weather Apps AppGuide. [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]
