Meet Wayther, an iOS weather forecast app built especially for road journeys
The new iOS application called Wayther wants to help plan on roads more appropriately by providing actual road conditions and weather forecasts along the route. Wayther, created by an independent developer Axel Le Pennek, provides weather forecasts for 10 days. Le Pennec, who has been making iOS apps since 2013, told TechCrunch he got the idea for Wayther after adding a weather forecast feature to his digital shipping magazine app Skipper.
“In addition to being able to record a boat trip in Skipper, I also wanted to add a new feature that would allow users to plan a future trip and check the weather along the route,” said Le Pennec. “I realized it was a cool feature for the app, but maybe it was also an idea for another app that could be used by more users, such as truckers or travelers.”
Wayther lets you choose different routes and adjust departure or arrival times to find the perfect window for a safe and fun trip. The idea behind the app removes the need to enter multiple places into the weather app when trying to determine if there is a potentially bad weather when planning a road trip. That is. You can identify bad weather warnings, poor visibility, and night driving conditions. You can also plan your trip to coincide with beautiful times like sunrise and sunset.
Once you enter your starting point and destination in the app, you can choose from three routes. Wayther then provides detailed weather forecasts for different points along your route, and the app's interactive map shows an overview of your trip and a detailed schedule.
