Many who know me know that I have a thing for #WeatherApps. I have many for various reasons. For instance, the #StormShieldApp for #iOS I have solely for its lightning alerts which cost $0.99 a month. They were reliable and thus I kept the app even though it was by and large an #Inaccessible mess when using #VoiceOver. However, now the price is about to rise to $4.99 a month and they gave users or at least this user less than a month's notice. So it's buh bye to this one. It makes me even more grateful to the developer of #WeatherGods not only for his implementation and offering of a subscription that includes Lightning alerts but also for his commitment to #Accessibility throughout the whole of his app. So, if lightning alerts are important to you, you might wish to consider supporting Weather Gods and its developer. I have no afiliation beyond being a happy user.

So, since I was having this chat with friends about extended forecasts in #WeatherApps #WXApps it gave me a chance to revisit some in my current rotation and some who've lost their standing to be so. I'm glad to report that the #Wunderground app has decent #Accessibility when using #VoiceOver. By contrast The #WeatherChannel app has degraded as their daily forecasts don't read well at all. And the worst offender is still #WeatherBug which used to be a very #Accessible app but now hardly anything on the screen reads well with #Voiceover at all. Shameful really because it used to be such a good app.

I wrote a blog post about how I still can't believe that I wrote a weather app and how it made me a better developer.
