Accuracy

Weather Cube himself said data to provide more than 1.7 million cities. The towns and villages that I have tried, he found all fine, that ranged from New York to a place with 1000 inhabitants. The period that I have tested the app was predicted fairly accurately. He neatly that it started to rain in the evening and the number of millimeters was also pretty consistent with what the app indicated.


Conclusion

Given the accuracy combined with the beautiful design and intuitive swipe Weather Cube is an excellent weather app in a minimalist and modern design. Yet the many gestures sometimes confusing. You must use the app longer to understand them all. There are also a lot of data in different views to find what is not at all clearly.
