Find out yourself what kind of weather is on the way. Cloud types and other natural signs will tell you how. It functions offline, also for iPod users, and worldwide. A must for all those who spend time outside, hikers, mountain lovers, cyclists, sailing enthusiasts, water-sport fans, surfers, paragliders, kite-flyers, anglers, hunters, strollers, gardeners – just about everyone except couch potatoes.

This app brings back the ancient knowledge of former generations: Here you will find out how to identify conclusively a thundercloud and what kind of weather can be expected in what time frame when you see fleecy clouds. Here you will find out if it is going to rain when the spider stops spinning its web and much, much more.

Pros and cons of Clouds and Weather app for iPhone and iPad

Clouds and Weather app good for

Bravo. It is exactly what i was looking for! The old good ways to determine the weather. Beautiful clouds pictures.

Very good app! So many nice pictures, love also the other weather signs like the behavior of the ants and insects

If you could include more individual pictures on every cloud that would be fantastic. Zoom in on those would be a plus. Otherwise, wonderful app. Very useful!

Some bad moments

A one minute Internet search will provide you with much more information that can be gained here.

I bought this thinking I could use it as a field guide, but the way the information is organized makes this cumbersome for me. First you identify whether the cloud is low or high, and then you have to click on several Latin names of clouds to see more info and try to figure out which cloud you might be seeing--you dont see more specific pictures until you guess and click a name. It would have been easier for me to click on a picture of the type of cloud I was looking at, and then click on more specific pictures to narrow it down. Also, the included pictures are small and if theres a way to make them larger, I havent found it.
