About this app
Weather Forecast tells you what the sky is about to do — minute by minute, hour by hour, ten days out — and then gets out of the way. KNOW BEFORE IT STARTS Minute-level rain for the hour ahead, so you know whether to wait it out or run for it. The hourly view says what a row of percentages can’t: when it starts, when it eases, and when it turns to snow. SEVERE WEATHER, FIRST Warnings from your national weather service appear at the top of the screen and on your Lock Screen. Choose whether you’re notified about all severe weather or only the most extreme conditions. A SKY THAT’S ACTUALLY THE SKY The background isn’t a stock photo.

App details
What you can learn from Weather Forecast
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 10 screenshots above are Weather Forecast's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Weather Forecast runs a dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #142444) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #4C6C84, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
