Powered by Forecast.io (created by the same people that brought you Dark Sky), and inspired by Google Now, AtmosHere is a twist on your typical weather app. Featuring everything you could ask for in a weather app, current conditions, condition summaries for the next hour, 24 hours, 48 hours, and week, precipitation probability in chart form (Who doesn't love charts?!), along with information for the next week with almost all weather information you could ask for!
Clicking on the "Upcoming" card will take you to an hourly forecast for the next 7 days! This of course is a wealth of information, which has been slimmed down to fit the card ui style. But simply clicking on an hourly card, will show you all the information provided by forecast.io! You will also see "Weather Alert" cards and "Storm Alert" cards based on on-going weather conditions. If there is a weather alert for your location you will see an alert card front and center (and optionally a separate notification), and if a storm is within 10 miles of your location, you will be alerted for this as well! The idea is to make this app more "contextually aware" of the weather conditions for your location, and there will be constant updates to improve this.
Swipe from one side to another to reveal even more! Hourly information for the next week is available to your right! Then to your left are maps of every flavor. Everything from radar, temps, wind, pressure, weather alerts, and even radiation! (You can thank me later, we all know it's going to happen eventually). Some maps are viewable in a 3d view similar to that of Dark Sky, and others are shown the standard Google Maps view. The choice is yours!
Since that still wasn't satisfying enough, Flickr is integrated into the header of your home view, showcasing nearby Flickr photos that will also correspond to the current conditions (example, if it's snowing you will see pictures of snow!). This bring us to the next feature, Muzei integration! The same images used in the app can also be used with Muzei! Not to be forgotten, AtmosHere also features DashClock integration to keep your home screen up-to-date with your local weather conditions.
Your typical Android widget, day dream, and optional persistent notification (with adjustable update frequency) are also included!
