About this app
Most weather apps promise sunshine and apologise later. Dreich doesn't. It gives you Scotland's weather straight, dreich and all, with a Scottish tongue and the good grace to admit when the sky's made a liar of it. Every day gets a Dreich Score: a single honest number out of ten for how grim it is out there, worked out from the real forecast and never arguing with it. Underneath is a proper read of your day. What to wear, whether to chance the washing, and whether that brolly's worth the bother or just going to end up inside out. WHAT'S INSIDE • The Dreich Score. Your day, scored out of ten, with a verdict that tells it like it is. • Honest forecasts for right now, hour by hour, and seven days out. Sun not guaranteed. • Brolly or no? The daily out-the-door read, whether you're catching the bus or walking the dog. • Midge Forecast. How bad the wee biters will be, tuned to your patch …
App details
What you can learn from Dreich: Scottish Weather
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 6 screenshots above are Dreich: Scottish Weather's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
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.
