I am excited to announce that Sonuby Weather is now available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store!
After four years of planning, designing, developing and testing, here is what you can expect:
Sonuby comes with three pre-built weather reports - Skydiving, Surfing and Daily Life - that contain only forecasts relevant to your area of interest.
Forecasts are available as meteograms, weather maps, and other formats that are optimized for comprehensibility, appealing design, and maximum information density.
Sonuby can predict the weather for any place in the world. With the integrated location search you can find cities and popular landmarks in no time. If that doesn’t give you the results you want, you can use map search to select any coordinates and find your drop zone or favorite surf spot.
Weather forecasts are provided by Swiss weather forecasting specialists meteoblue AG. Their weather model accesses different weather models such as ECMWF, GFS or ICON and selects the best forecast for the selected location.
Mark locations as favorites for quick access. With built-in location collections, you can even go a step further and save locations by topic. For example, save all of your drop zones in a separate location collection and compare skydiving forecasts even more easily.
Besides location collections, you can further customize Sonuby to your needs. Choose between metric or imperial units, display temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit and speeds in km/h, mps, mph, kn or bft.
This release is only the beginning.
Over the past 18 months I have been fortunate to have a very reliable group of testers who have already given me a lot of ideas about where Sonuby should go.
My vision for Sonuby is to become the go-to cross-platform weather tool for enthusiasts and people with specific needs for weather data. This will include additional pre-built weather reports, additional pro tools to further improve and individualize the forecasting experience and also a custom weather reports builder which will allow you to create your very own weather reports including data and visual representation.
The direction in which it will go exactly hasn’t been decided yet and will depend a lot on the feedback I get from you.
That’s why I would like to invite you to send me feedback. Whether it be by leaving a review on the AppStore or Google Play Store, sending me feedback via the in-app feedback form, or via social media. In any case, I will respond and try to take your wishes into account.
To celebrate the release of Sonuby, there is a limited time offer on the annual Enthusiast subscription. You can access the offer by redeeming the coupon code “RELEASE” on the settings page of the app.
I can’t wait to hear what you will think about Sonuby!
All the best,
Julian
