Не смотря на то, что Windows 8 стал почти мейнстримом, нормальных полноэкранных приложений под «плитки» не от Microsoft не так уж и много. Раздвоенность интерфейса W8 этому явно не помогает и основные программы все еще живут в старом интерфейсе.
Но не AccuWeather, которая выглядит круто и, вместе с тем, действительно полезна всем, кто сверяется с прогнозами погоды каждое утро или заранее перед выходными.
Вся погода в AccuWeather представляется на красивейших анимированных фонах, которые отражают текущую погоду и всемя суток. Можно сказать, что она также красива, как и погода от Yahoo! для iOS.
Приложение предоставляет прогноз погоды на месяц вперед. По временному слайдеру можно отмотать на интересующую вас дату и увидеть не только температуру, но и осадки, влажность, уровень UV.
В режиме плитки программа показывает краткий прогноз погоды для вашего текущего региона.
Стоит ли говорить, что AccuWeather совершенно бесплатна!
