Weather Live
A consumer weather app shipped across five platforms, backed by an in-house forecast API. Reached top-10 weather category positions in multiple stores and crossed 50M downloads on Android alone.
App metrics
Numbers are taken from public App Store and Google Play listings at the time of writing. Combined lifetime installs across all five platforms are higher than the Android-only figure shown here.
About the app
Weather Live is a consumer weather app focused on a clean reading experience for the current conditions and a 7-day forecast. The interface is built around a full-screen background that reflects the live weather, with a configurable set of data points (feels-like, dew point, wind, pressure, UV, sunrise/sunset and more) surfaced underneath.
On the data side, the app runs on a forecast API we built and operate in-house. The API aggregates several upstream weather providers, normalizes their output and serves a single response per location at a cost that scales with a freemium consumer app. The same backend powers the rest of the Apalon weather portfolio.
