Show HN: My free (and unique) weather app for iOS

Weather apps seem to be the new todo list or note-taking apps. There seems to be a huge abundance of them, and all of them are &quot;unique&quot; in some respect.<p>Kudos for making it free, but until it&#x27;s clear why that app is considerably better than the existing free app I have on my phone built by Apple, I&#x27;m not sure I&#x27;m going to bother. Gradients are nice, but Apple&#x27;s built-in app gives me a visual indication of weather already.<p>And I&#x27;m not being mean: I think it&#x27;s great people want to ship utility apps, I just think the unique value has to be pretty clear and obvious from the very first words I read, and it has to be pretty overwhelming.<p>Good luck with it, and your future apps!

The price is showing $1.99 for me (in the US store).
