If you could redesign a weather app from scratch, what would you change?

by

Hi everyone! 👋

Just curious — if you could reimagine a weather app from scratch, without following the "typical" designs we see today, what would you want to change or add?

For example:

  • Would you want the app to feel more fun or even have a personality?

  • Would you prefer faster voice updates instead of reading charts?

  • Would it be helpful to get forecast reminders tied to your special events or big days?

I'm trying to understand what people feel is missing (or frustrating) in the current weather app experience. 📱⛅

Would love to hear your thoughts—whether it's a small tweak or a crazy idea! ☀

Hi Amber, great question! If I were to redesign a weather app from scratch, I’d focus on making it more personalized and intuitive. For example, I’d love the app to have a friendly, relatable personality that can chat with you—kind of like a weather companion that not only gives forecasts but also shares fun facts or suggests activities based on the weather. Voice updates would be fantastic, especially quick summaries you can listen to on the go, so you’re not stuck staring at charts. Another feature I’d add is smart reminders tied to your calendar or location—imagine getting a heads-up about rain right before your morning jog or a notification to pack an umbrella for your outdoor event. Lastly, I’d integrate real-time, hyper-local data to make forecasts feel more relevant and trustworthy. Looking forward to seeing what innovations come next in weather apps!
