It’s summer time so whether you’re heading to the beach or hosting a bbq, one thing is certain – the weather is unpredictable and prior planning is a must. Local Wisdom Labs’ stylish iOS and Android friendly weather app is the perfect tool for organizing your summer itinerary, and our friends at eWEEK.com seem to agree. Weatherwise was just featured as one of eWEEK.com’s Top iPhone Apps to Kick Off the 2012 Summer Season. Here’s what they had to say:
Forget boring old Doppler scans and uninviting forecasts. This app features animated personas and moving landscapes to give your weather report some personality.

Weatherwise Featured on Gizmodo.com
Last week after we were interviewed with the Google development team, Weatherwise was featured on Gizmodo.com as the app of the week.
It’s hard to make weather interesting. But this app puts the usual data into a pretty package, with handsome skins and animation.
Thank you Gizmodo, we just marked “Get mentioned on Gizmodo.com” off our life to-do list!

I write this post with great pride and elation over the launch of our first mobile application for both iPhone and Android, Weatherwise ™.
Weatherwise™ is a creative way to visualize the weather using a series of imaginative themes and weather states.
Visit our website http://www.weatherwiseapp.com to download it.
We are equally proud to announce that Weatherwise™ is a finalist for five awards from the Art Directors Club of New Jersey (ACDNJ) including best illustration, best mobile application and best website. Winners will be announced on Friday, May 20th.
The standard, free theme Zen Tree, is based on a tranquil Bonsai tree that reacts to changes in weather. Features include a swaying lantern indicating wind or snowy branches displaying winter conditions.
Additional themes are available for $0.99 and include the following:
Lost Robot
No longer in use and left to rust, the Lost Robot sits and waits for his master. Depending upon the time of day and weather condition, he illuminates the forest floor with vibrant colors. Learn the speed of the wind as the Lost Robot billows smoke from his back.
The Wobbles
These fun loving creatures enjoy the art of staring. Tilt your phone away from you and watch as the Woobles keep looking directly at YOU. Enjoy getting your forecast from the whole Wooble family, complete with 10 different Woobles ready to unearth themselves during certain times of day and weather conditions.
Personas
See a woman clad with pearls when it’s icy. Watch a sleepy man peer into the bathroom mirror to indicate a foggy day. The Personas theme gives you ten unique, animated personas as the weather and time of day changes.
If you are a designer looking for a way to showcase your work, send us your creative themes for Weatherwise™ by contacting us at support@weatherwiseapp.com.
