Following the recent announcement of Android Wear 2.0, developers are diligently updating existing apps and introducing new ones for the platform. The Uber app for Android Wear 2.0 was recently released, and now AccuWeather is joining the trend by launching a completely new application.
AccuWeather Android Wear 2.0 – Now Available!
Although AccuWeather was already available for the Android Wear platform, its features were limited. Previously, users could only access basic weather information based on their current location and view weather conditions for the upcoming hours. However, the revamped app now offers daily and hourly forecasts, as well as the ability to add multiple locations – a feature that was previously unavailable.
The application includes a watch face that can be utilized or allows users to share data from the AccuWeather app with other compatible watch faces. Additionally, the updated app offers enhanced features such as current weather conditions, temperature, wind speed, real feel, and more. This represents a significant enhancement compared to the simplistic functionality of the previous version.
Previously, many apps in Android Wear 2.0 relied heavily on the connected smartphone for essential functions. However, with the latest update, Google has prioritized creating a more self-sufficient operating system for smartwatches, reducing their dependence on smartphones. This shift signifies progress towards expanding the wearable’s capabilities beyond basic tech-watch or fitness tracker functions. To drive growth in the wearable market, developers and manufacturers must focus on offering compelling features that establish smartwatches as indispensable devices, akin to smartphones.
As the AccuWeather app becomes available for Android Wear 2.0, users can enjoy the benefits of having vital weather information right on their wrists, further enhancing the functionality and utility of their wearable devices. Embrace the convenience of AccuWeather on Android Wear 2.0 and stay ahead of the weather with ease.
