The best weather app for iPhone and Apple Watch to try in 2019

Staying updated with the weather makes it easier for you to schedule your upcoming events. It is always a good option to check for the weather before you leave out rather than getting caught by bad weather. There are some surprisingly good weather apps to predict the weather in advance to stay away from bad atmospheric conditions.

While the iPhone has its built-in weather app, here are the best weather apps worth trying out.

1. The weather Channel

The weather channel is currently ranked №1 on the app store and the only weather app that is supported by iOS’s default weather app. This app not only gives you daily and weekly updates but also hourly updates as well as a 15-day forecast. So this app will let you know before if a storm is nearing you in an hour.

Those little change on the home screen that matches the current weather makes it cooler too. It will also provide you humidity, UV index, and wind speed along with information about the road conditions due to bad weather.

This app can be downloaded for free with periodic ads but the ads can be removed by a $4 upgrade (in-app purchase).

Download here (free)

2. AccuWeather

Accuweather provides a clean and minimal interface for the users who prefer simple design. It’s very easy to understand the app and weather forecast.

Unlike other apps, it doesn’t provide detailed information about the weather but not everyone prefers that. It is free to download and users can also upgrade with $3.99 to unlock a 25-day forecast and block the ads.

Download here (Free)

3. The Weather Bug

The weather bug is easy to use and provides you with needful information about the weather. This app greets us with current, hourly and 10-day forecast with UV index, Wind speed and weather observations.

You can also find the quality of the air, real-time traffic conditions and local pollen count with 18 different maps. The app will also send you essential updates directly to your Apple Watch which makes you more convenient to know the weather.

It is available to download for free with ads. But the ads can be removed by a $2.99 upgrade.

Download here (Free)

4. Carrot Weather

Carrot weather is one of the most unique app you will find in the app store. It is full of customization. It has a fun feature called “personality” which has a number of dialogs, sceneries, and characters that react to the weather.

You can also view the weather for any location up to 70 years in the past. It also offers a mini-game inside the app which allows you to follow the clues to find secret locations.

Download here ( $4.99)

5. Dark Sky

The dark sky is the most accurate weather app you will come across and one of my favorite too. Actually, other weather apps including Carrot Weather use dark sky API to display data on their app.

It displays high and low temperatures of the day, next hour rain prediction, forecast for the next 24 hours or the next 7 days in a simple slider that slides down to reveal all the information.

Download here ($3.99)

6. Weather Live

Just like others, weather live displays hourly, daily and 7-day forecast but with the customizable home screen. It has four different layouts to try. An animated home screen that reflects the weather makes the app look cooler and beautiful.

It also provides wind speed, directions, and UV details. This is available for free to download with ads. You can upgrade it to unlock more features including a 14-day hourly forecast, interactive weather maps, and an ad-free experience.

Download here (Free)

7. RadarScope

RadorScope is for those who are weather freak and meteorologist. It provides you details from NEXRAD Level 3 with high-resolution radar data that includes thunderstorm and Marine warning issued by U.S National Weather Service.

It can also display the latest velocity, dual-polarization and any other information from any NEXRAD or TDWR radar site situated in the U.S, Korea, and some other countries. It will automatically update the data every 2–10 minutes from the Radar depending upon the scan.

RadarScope is priced at $9.99. It can also be upgraded with two options — Tier One ( $9.99, Annually), Tier Two ( $14.99, monthly), Tier Two ($99.99, Annually).

8. Weather Underground

The Weather Underground is a personalized and color full weather app. The data is updated by more than 270,000 weather stations around the world with interactive NEXRAD radar, wind speed and direction, humidity and a lot more.

In addition, you can also report your local weather conditions for the benefits of other app users. It is available to download for free with ads but you can purchase an annual pack for $1.99 to remove those ads.

iPhone XR vs iPhone 11: Which to choose?

Apple launched three new iPhone models this year. The entry-level iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and the maxed-out iPhone 11 Pro Max.

This year, apple mainly focuses on Camera and slightly a touch up to the design. Now let’s talk about the entry-level iPhone 11 which is the successor of last year iPhone XR.

The first change which comes to entry-level iPhone is the name. There is no iPhone 11R this year, its just iPhone 11. The next major change is the camera. And also it is IP68 water-resistant where else the previous one is IP67.

Other than that it has the same display, same notch, same glass back but Apple claims that it is the strongest glass ever in a smartphone.

You may like: iOS 13.1 Released with bug fixes and stability improvements.

Camera:

The camera is significantly upgraded from the previous model. iPhone 11 is loaded with dual cameras at the back which is 12 Megapixel primary cam ( f/1.8) + 12 Megapixel ultra-wide cam(f/2.4) with a new camera interface. It also comes with a new feature, Night mode. Night mode works like a charm in a low light situation although Night mode cant be turned on manually but it will by automatic.

When it comes to video, both are almost the same. The two things that I feel different is that OIS is more stable in the iPhone 11 than the iPhone XR. The next thing is that the iPhone 11 can capture ultra-wide video which the iPhone XR cant.

The front camera comes with 12 MP f2.2 which is an upgrade from last year’s 7MP. It also has a wide-angle view which comes in handy if there are group of people. And it has “Slofies”, well this is what Apple calls it. iPhone 11 can take 1080 P videos with 120 FPS and that’s really cool to see in action.

Performance, Battery, face ID, Price:

iPhone 11 has the latest Apple’s A13 Bionic chipset with 4GB of ram where iPhone XR has A12. The performance is not notably difference in day to day apps through A13 gives a lot more score in AnTuTu benchmark. But you can feel the difference when it comes to heavy wight apps.

When it comes to battery, Apple claims that iPhone 11 lasts 1 hour longer than iPhone XR. But the real day to day tests gives me a result of about 20–25 mins longer. It is not a big deal because iPhone XR already had a great battery.

Apple also says that Face ID on the iPhone 11 is faster and works in more angel. But again there is not a huge or notable difference. Still I have to lean and show my face to iPhone to get it unlocked while on a flat surface.

iPhone 11 is priced at $699 which is about 50$ less than iPhone XR( when it was released). Of course, Apple reduced the price of iPhone XR now which is $600.

What to choose? iPhone 11 or iPhone XR?

iPhone 11 is a better choice to consider which has two-camera setup, improved front camera, improved processor, improved IPS rating and last but not least, the software update. iPhone 11 will get one-year extra support for iOS which is a main thing to consider. But if you are in a tight budget, iPhone XR is not a bad choice either.

3.Share Screenshot quickly

Everyone who uses iPhones would probably know how to take a screenshot (if you’re new, Hold down the Power and volume down button to take a screenshot). One of the most common reasons to take a screenshot is to share it with someone. After taking a screenshot, you would probably tap on it and then tap the share sheet icon to share it or save it and then go into the photos app and share it. But you can just tap and hold the little preview image at the bottom to open the share sheet.

4.Accurate time schedule

This tip comes in handy if you would like to set the schedule to the exact time. Usually, the timer in the app only has the option to go with every 5 seconds. But tapping the timer twice (5, 10, 15-sec wheel) will switch the option to 1 sec from 5 sec. Double tapping again will bring it back to the 5-second wheel. This tip will be very useful if you want to set your schedule to the approximate time.

For example :

Alex — “Siri, What’s my name? “ Siri — “Alex” Alex — “That’s not how you pronounce my name” Siri — “Could you say it again?” Alex — “Alex” Siri -”OK, thank you. Which pronunciation should I use? “

She will now list some pronunciation. You have an option to listen each of it and choose the one which suits you the best.

You don’t actually want to tap the folder and swipe left or right to see the notification of each app. You can just 3D touch the folder and it will list the app with notifications badges. This comes in handy for the people who use a lot of folders.

Tapping and holding the “play next song” button will fast forward the music.

12.Ping your lost device with a 3D touch

Pinging a device is helpful when you lost your device. Normally, pinging a device can be done by entering the app “find my iPhone”. But you can actually ping your device very quickly and easily. 3D touching “find my iPhone” will bring a list of the device that has been connected to your iPhone.Tapping your lost device will ping it immediately.

13.Lower the brightness below 0%

This tip will allow you to lower the brightness and make your screen dimmer than apple actually allow. It will be very handy when you are in a pitch dark. All you need to do is to go → Accessibility → Display accommodation and tap Reduce white point. This will bring a new control bar and set the bar to 100 %.

Stadia is a cloud gaming platform developed by Google to take on Sony’s PS4 and Microsoft’s Xbox. Google Stadia is not a console like PS4 and Xbox. It’s a Cloud service that let the user play the games on any of their devices in the chrome browser. The game actually runs on the Google database and you are just streaming the game on your device just like a video. Now let us see what you should know about the Google Stadia.

1.Google Stadia is not a console

Google stadia is not exactly a console. It’s a cloud service running in google that lets the user play the games in any of their devices. However, Google supports 3rdparty console’s joystick if you have one and it also launching its own Stadia joystick with google assistant built in.

2.Not all the games are (or) will support Stadia

At present, stadia support Assassin’s Creed Odyssey(originally developed by Ubisoft) and Doom eternal (Originally developed by ID software). Google is also working on some games to be launched exclusively for stadia. Some current and upcoming exclusive games for PS4 and Xbox might not be supported for Google’s platform.

3.Stadia will support 4K

Stadia will support 4k with HDR at 60 fps and even upscaled to 8k at 120fps. If you have a device that supports this specification then you are good to play.

4.No download and updates

Since the game is actually running on the Google’s server there is no need for the user to download or update the game. No download, no updates, no patches. The game will be updated by its corresponding developer on Google’s database.

5.How much does it actually cost?

How much money will it actually cost to subscribe to google for using their service? Google hasn’t revealed its subscription plan yet. But it must be the monthly and yearly plans like PS4 and Xbox but we are not sure about that. We don’t want to feed our viewers with false pricing. We will update this section when Google officially reveals the plan for its service. Subscribe to our website to know the pricing as we update it here.

Disadvantages:

If there is an upside, there must be a downside. Google’s stadia is truly a next-gen gaming platform but it has some disadvantages.

1. Consumes a lot of internet data
2. Some exclusive games will not be supported

Ever wonder if there is a way to eject water from iPhone’s speaker like the apple watch?

Apple announced a feature back in 2016 for Apple watch series 2. The apple watch series 2 and above can eject water from the speaker with just a tap. 2nd gen watches comes with a 50 MM water resistance rating that qualifies it is suitable for a pool swimming but the problem is with the speaker. It’s not possible to completely seal the speaker to avoid the water getting inside. After the watch is used in water or maybe a workout session, water will definitely enter the speaker and make them sound muffed.Apple clearly designed a low-frequency sound that actually splits out the water from the speaker while playing.

Picsew is the better option than long screenshot as it has more features. The most notable and important feature of the picsew is that it can stitch the image together along vertical and horizontal. This makes the user create an awesome landscape oriented scrolling screenshots.

It also features editing tool to edit the pic but the editing tool is not as good as other photo editing apps. It can also watermarks and borders around the pic as the user per needs. Another feature to note is that it can also blur the peoples face if the user needs to. Like Long screenshot, it can also take a screenshot of the entire webpage but with just a tap.it has no limit of on the number of screenshots it can stitch into a single image.
