Hi all, some time ago I found a very accessible and very informative weather app called Fahrenheit. It shows the current temperature on the home screen, so if you swipe to this app or place it somewhere on your home screen where you can quickly tap on it, the current temperature will show. For example: Fahrenheit 70, or Fahrenheit 86, etc.
Since this app is incredibly accessible, you can add as many cities as you want and use a 3 finger swipe from left to right and vice versa in order to access the current weather and forecast for any city you have configured such as temperature in your city, or temp in New York, or temp in whatever city you'd like. On the main screen associate with your city, the current temperature is shown at the very top of the screen so it is easy to acquire the desired information, but below is also the forecast for what I believe is the next 2 weeks. Amazingly, this app is only $1. I will sate up front there's a little quirk in that on your Home screen you will not hear Fahrenheit 99 degrees, you will hear Fahrenheit 99 new items. I don't know why it is saying "new items" but since all I care is about the temperature, this quirk doesn't bug me in the least. <Smile>. Here is more iTunes store info: Description Fahrenheit displays the temperature on your Home Screen icon, Notification Center and Lock Screen. Fahrenheit is a stunning weather application that uses latest technology to show you the current temperature of any location right on your iPhone/iPad Home Screen! Beyond the real-time temperature on the Home Screen Fahrenheit also is the number one weather application giving you very detailed weather information of unlimited cities world wide, packed in a gorgeous design and easy-to-use user interface! LOCKSCREEN & NOTIFICATION CENTER Now, in addition to the temperature badge, you can set up the app to notify you of any changes in the weather as they happen, right in the Lockscreen and Notification Center. It works really easy. We have Notification Setting that allows you to receive a Popup/Banner alert from our Push Server. This alert will also appear in the Notification Center and Lockscreen to show the temperature of the last update. You can set the number of notifications as you prefer (max 1, max 5 etc) in the iPad/iPhone general settings. TEMPERATURE IN THE ICON BADGE Fahrenheit is backed by an online web server that uses Push Technology to push the current temperature of any location to your iDevice. This makes it possible to always automatically have the up-to-date temperature displayed in the red badge at the top-right of the Fahrenheit icon on your Home Screen. Fahrenheit supports all iOS Devices: iPhone 4s/4, iPhone 3Gs/3G, iPad 2, iPad and all iPod Touch devices! It is not possible to display the temperature in Celsius. You have to download the Celsius application instead. FULL FEATURED WEATHER APPLICATION Fahrenheit brings you all weather information available for every location in the world and a 10-day forecast. In addition to these powerful forecasting features, Fahrenheit provides more comprehensive weather information. This includes detailed information regarding cloud cover and rainfall totals. Fahrenheit also gives users information about sunrise and sunset times. Many users also enjoy the real time wind direction feature, which utilizes a display arrow on screen to indicate the wind direction at any time thanks to the built in magnetometer. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fahrenheit-weather-temperature/id426939660?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D8 Plese let me know if you have any questions.

The Weather channel app is no longer accessible for the blind, but there is an app called Degrees. I think that it may cost $.99, but I think that it is very good. I am trying to remember if it is $99, or $1.99. I got this app last week. My husband found it and told me how good it was. So, that may be an option for you and others looking for a Weather App. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Arrigo Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 1:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Weather Channel App Yes, it's no longer accessible, currently the only work around is to use a different app. Original message: > Hi, > Sense the update to the Weather Channel app, two or three weeks ago, I > have found it to be inaccessible with VO.
