Weather Smiles

We’ve covered plenty of weather apps over the years here. Everyone has their favorite and Windows Phone has a handful of great apps to choose from to suit your needs and tastes. We first looked at Weather Smiles a little over a year ago when it launched. A few months later it was updated with all the Windows Phone 8 features you’d want. It’s picked up a few updates over the past few months. The most recent a few days ago. Let’s check it out.

It’s been awhile since we’ve covered Weather Smiles. Since we last talked about the app it has gained a dark theme, various new tile options, and other under the hood tweaks. Here’s what new in the latest v2.5.0 update from a few days ago:

  • Updated forecast on tile to show next 3 days excluding today when 3 day is used and observation time is afternoon.
  • New large tile flips and displays full data on each side when dual tile is enabled.
  • New can now set detailed status on lockscreen to get temperature, location and conditions of current location.
  • Aesthetic changes to live tile, and enabled phone status bar.
