In the real world, weather phenomena are often visually striking. Alas, in the app world, most have been rendered flat and lifeless; it's tough to convey the majesty of a thunderstorm or the intensity of a tornado with a dime-sized animated graphic. Beautiful Weather sought to change that, layering sound and infographics atop the forecasting and reporting functions. Adding visual luster via cloud animations and a 3-D globe, Beautiful Weather delivered what its moniker promised and buttressed it with a wealth of historical weather data.
