ArabiaWeather, a leading private weather company in the Arab World, has revealed that its new mobile app has been used more than two million times in less than a month of its launch.

Made available for both iOS and Android, the ArabiaWeather app provides key weather forecasts covering more than 5,000 locations within the Arab region. The smartphone app is also one of the first to take advantage of Apple’s new widget feature, allowing users to activate the ‘Arabia Weather Widget’.

The app allows users to get the weather information for their area of choice--either hourly, in detail, or as a summary of the next ten days. In addition, users can also receive notifications and warning messages about sudden unstable weather conditions. The app also has a ‘Weather Reminder’ feature, which notifies users about the weather conditions in a given day and the location they choose in line with their daily schedule such as early in the morning before they leave for work.

Other features of the ArabiaWeather app includes Lifestyle, which are recommendations and weather-related tips that can inform users if its suitable to carry out outdoor activities like sports, picnics or trips to the park and even tell you how current weather conditions can affect public health.

Yousef Wadi, co-founder and chief product officer, ArabiaWeather, said: “The launch of this new app on iOS and Android looks towards providing users with the most accurate weather information wherever they may be and at any time of the day. With the ArabiaWeather app, users are easily notified and warned about impending bad weather conditions, so that they can plan ahead and exercise more caution.” – TradeArabia News Service
