Vadret for Windows Phone

"Vadret" is Swedish for "weather" (which I've probably mispronounced terribly) and Vadret is a elementary only nicely laid out weather app for your Windows Phone. It gives you quick and piece of cake access to your bones weather weather condition and forecasts for upwards to v of your favorite worldwide locations.

When y'all first launch Vadret you lot are prompted to become to the Settings Menu where you will choose your cities, establish the general layout of the app, how you want your live tiles to wait, and which of the eleven backgrounds you lot want to utilize.

Vadret Weather Views

Vadret has pages that display an 8 day forecast or long forecast that displays the forenoon, noon and night predictions. A text forecast (a little more detailed) for the side by side nine days. An hourly forecast for the side by side 48 hours that includes a meteogram (graph of temps and air current).

Settings encompass which forecast folio you would like to see at get-go-up, which pages y'all want to hibernate, and how you would like the temperature displayed (Fahrenheit or Celsius).

Vadret Weather Tiles

The alive tile has the options to apply metro styled or illustrated (like the ones within the app) icons and will display the metropolis name on the tile.

Vadret would exist considered a basic weather app for your Windows Phone when compared to other weather apps such equally Accuweather or the Atmospheric condition Channel apps. While it may exist a basic atmospheric condition app, Vadret has a very prissy layout with regards to navigation and advent. It would have been dainty to take had the ability to pin live tiles for each metropolis but maybe that ability will show up with hereafter updates. The simply other ascertainment that may be a downside to some is that whatever forecast measurements in the text forecast is displayed in metric units. Aforementioned can exist said of the current of air and barometric pressure level displayed on the live tile.

All in all, Vadret is a very nice, well presented conditions forecast application for your Windows Phone. It's a free app that you can catch here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Cheers, Anders, for the tip!
