Overview

Weather apps are a part of our daily routine. However many of these apps focus on the data, rather than the design.
‍
AccuWeather is a service that provides accurate and reliable data, but would benefit from some more user-centric features.

AccYou is designed for the user. It’s a brighter, more inviting redesign with new features that focus on what weather app users really use their choice weather apps for.
