Canadas weather: essential Canadian weather information taken from the best and most accurate source—Environment Canada—and presented in an appealing and rich format. Featured in Great Canadian Apps!


NEW APP ARCHITECTURE
Modular, reconfigurable - order the display to suit your preferences. New - weather alerts, notifications. Additional modules will be available to add in-app.

WHY WE BUILT IT
We found significant variation between the data reported by other weather apps and the information from the Environment Canada website. We also wanted to build an app with appealing visuals and as a framework to eventually offer alternate themes and additional information.


WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT
Great visuals, accurate Canadian data, fast user-controlled refresh. Additional info for outdoor activities: sunrise/sunset, wind and windchill.


FEATURES & FUN

Fun stuff:

Too cold for ya? No problem - Atmosphérique supports Kelvin. Winter sounds better when it is +247 degrees!

Pros and cons of Atmosphérique app for iPhone and iPad

Atmosphérique app good for

A well designed weather app - doesnt have the flashiness of some weather apps but it doesnt need it as that it provides a lot of information in little space. Would like to see an update for the retina display and if possible USA locations. UPDATE: Version 1.5 updates when you shake it - I initially thought it wasnt updating - ingenious way to save hits to environment Canada.  Great app, and great update! Edit: the shake is a bit of a pain - you have to shake it hard. Please change the update method. Still a 5 app! Update: v1.5.1 The shake to update is not sensitive enough - I have to shake my phone quite hard to get an update. In communication with the authors, the are some alternative methods that they are looking at to evoke an update. 4 program due to the update mechanism (it feels like I really have to whip the phone to update and it can be unnerving for me and distracting for others).
Shake to refresh is annoying though. Not so bad now that it auto refreshes again. Perhaps double tapping on the current weather would be a nice alternative for "refresh". Really like the preferences button graphics. :)
I love the screen. It has tons of info in a small space. Each little symbol has a meaning. The wind direction indicator is great. The triangle changes size with wind speed. Its a great little app. I would like to see weather warnings incorporated into the app.
One of the few weather apps that has windchill and that is very important for us here in Saskatchewan!
Compact but info rich. If Environment Canadas automated data wasnt so error prone it would be great. Searched iTunes under weather couldnt find this app. Needs to show some predictions for the next week for those who travel.
It works on the iPad, but only shows up as the iPhone size.. Would be nice to get a iPad version that uses the full screen.

Some bad moments

I was initially enthusiastic about this app, but it did not refresh with latest info. I soon deleted it.
No badge, whats the point I need to see the temp at a glance and this app cant do that. Im Canadian and love supporting our own but until it displays the temp on the application icon Im getting my weather details elsewhere .
There are a lot of great things about this app but the way it depicts weather in the little pictures is VERY DEPRESSING! Ie: if there is only a 30% chance of rain they will show RAIN. Most weather apps dont show rain until at least 40% chance of showers. I mean, if there is a 70% chance of sunshine should we not show sun & cloud without the depressing RAIN? I for one will not use this app because it is just too damn depressing...
Still not optimized for iPhone 5 screen resolution. Skip this software, the developers didnt get the iPhone 5 went out almost a year ago. Thanks god Apple will soon force iPhone 5 optimization for all future app updates! Go for Weather Office or Degrees instead, these apps are much more up to date.
Hasnt worked since I upgraded to IPhone 5! I used to use it everyday I wont purchase the Pro version unless this version works!
It was one of my favorite apps, but mostly quit working. Now it only displays current conditions.
