A new way to read the weather. Most weather apps give you one forecast. Bravo shows you seven — and, more importantly, whether they agree. Rainfall forecasts are compared across seven leading weather models: the Bureau of Meteorology, ECMWF, GFS, ICON, GEM, JMA and UKMO. Each approaches the atmosphere differently, so they won't always agree. That disagreement matters. When seven models point in the same direction, you can have more confidence in the forecast. When they don't, Bravo makes the uncertainty obvious. Six of seven models putting 15 mm on Thursday is worth planning around. Two of seven is worth watching and nothing more. Those two situations look identical in an app that averages them into a single figure. WHAT YOU GET • Every model side by side, each to the end of its own run — up to 16 days ahead — for any location on earth • Frost forecasts on the same seven models — o…
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 Bravo Weather's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Bravo Weather runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #FCFCFC) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #0C2C5C, 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.
