About this app

Gradient Weather is a detailed, highly customizable weather app. The color theme changes with the weather, you get configurable alerts, animated weather effects, and a dashboard you can actually arrange the way you want.

🎨 THEMES THAT CHANGE WITH THE WEATHER
The app doesn't have a single color scheme. On a sunny day the UI shifts to warm amber. During a storm it goes deep blue-gray with a lightning flash effect. A clear night shows a quiet starfield behind your temperature. Foggy mornings get soft, muted tones.

Beyond the automatic weather theme, you can set Material You (colors from your wallpaper), AMOLED true-black mode, a custom color, and font options including Lexend and OpenDyslexic for readability. Also, secret themes 👀.

🌤️ FORECAST
Current conditions, hourly forecast, and up to 7-day daily view. Tap any hour or day for a full breakdown.

🔬 LOCALIZED ACCURACY
The app includes a built-in accuracy engine that monitors how forecasts, and applies small corrections to bring temperatures and conditions closer to the truth. Results vary by location.

🔔 WEATHER ALERTS
Set up notifications for the things that matter to you:
• Frost and freezing temperatures
• UV index above your chosen threshold
• Pollen and hay fever levels, per allergen (grass, tree, weed)
• Air quality drops
• Rapid pressure changes
• Evening summary of tomorrow's forecast
• Official government weather warnings (Yellow, Amber, Red)
• Wardrobe Advisor: outfit suggestion for the day ahead (Beta)
• Imminent rain nowcast (available in supported regions)

Pick two alerts for free, or go unlimited with Premium.

📊 WEATHER CARDS
Toggle on the ones you want and rearrange them in any order:
• Rain bar chart with minute-level radar data
• Pollen and hay fever levels
• Sea conditions: wave height, period, direction, water temperature
• Sunrise and sunset arc with live sun position
• Wind compass, UV index, air quality, pressure sparkline, moon phase
and more

Some cards are region-specific and hidden when data isn't available.

🌧️ WEATHER EFFECTS
Rain falls on screen. Snow drifts. Clouds roll across the forecast screen. During thunderstorms the screen flashes and your phone vibrates on each lightning strike. On a clear night, a starfield fades in behind the temperature. All effects fade out as you scroll down and there’s also the option to switch these off if you prefer.

🗺️ MAP AND EMOJI WEATHER REPORTS
The map shows live weather across your area: weather icons at each location, precipitation layers, emoji reports from people nearby, and readings from public weather stations.
Get a push notification when someone spots rain, snow, or a rainbow close to you.
Station data includes automatic bias correction when local readings disagree with the forecast.

📱 WIDGETS
Two widgets for your home screen:
• Small widget: weather icon and temperature. Clean and minimal.

Both widgets support color themes and the small widget supports multiple Material 3 shapes.

Ratings and reviews

This app is so amazing! I love how it has so many theming options (though I do wish that at least the font was unlocked... I do know that you have to make money somehow though!) It would be nice to have access to more notifications, and to have a real time radar. Maybe have different tiers of membership that has different features? Thank you so much for this amazing app!!!

Heard about this app from MrMobile and it's genuinely great with lovely styling. Unfortunately $50 for lifetime premium is too expensive, so too is $3/mo. I'd expect at least a live reflectivity map with that price. But you're free to charge what you want. I'll stick with the default Pixel weather app for now, but I'll definitely check back in!

Really impressed. Greater range of widgets (not just shapes and colours, but in terms of data displayed) and a few more accuracy tweaks (I'm in Australia and have mixed accuracy so far) would probably have me paying for the app, it's beautiful
