Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Acme Weather offers alternative forecasts, because who doesn’t need more weather opinions. The app also includes alerts for rainbows and sunsets, because Instagram-worthy moments are everything. The team promises a more comprehensive weather experience, which sounds like a rebranding of “we added more features.” The app is available on iOS and Android, because of course it is. It’s not like we’ve seen this before – a new weather app from a team that already sold one to Apple.
