The new version of Appy Weather is leveraging the new One Call API 3.0. As the app was previously
dependent on the Dark Sky API, I was extremely relieved to effortlessly transition weather
providers. OpenWeather were quick to react to these developments and must be commended for their
dynamism here.
The scope of minutely, hourly and daily data meets my requirements as they’re enough to help my
users plan for the next hour, rest of the day, tomorrow and the week ahead. The government weather
alerts endpoint also ensures users are always in the know and can plan ahead confidently. The API
design overall makes so much sense that the app’s navigation system effectively adopts a similar
architecture.
Thinking ahead, I’m excited about the super impressive 46+ years of historical archive as well as
forecast data for the next 1.5 years also available in the API. These are endpoints that present
interesting opportunities, such as to help with travel or crop planning. The possibilities are
endless. I have an app used by all types of people/professionals, so I know they will be appreciate
having access to data that will make them more effective planners. I can’t wait to play with these!
Additionally, there are plans for the app to acknowledge the climate crisis, and I feel
OpenWeather’s other rich API endpoints, such as one dedicated to air pollution, provide me with the
platform to build features that might help users better understand it and hopefully do something
productive about it too in their everyday lives.
Finally, besides the API’s breadth and depth, I’ve been a highly satisfied customer for several
years not only because OpenWeather provides excellent value for money, but mostly because they are
incredibly supportive and understanding of my app’s independent nature. On multiple occasions they
have demonstrated this, making me feel an extremely valued customer who feels confident that I can
depend on them for the foreseeable future. If you are independent weather app developer, look no
further for a more trusted partner.
