A community weather app, audited, taken over and growing

Weerflash, from MeteoSupport, is a weather app for and by weather lovers. Its fans made it happen: the target of the crowdfunding was reached in just eight weeks.

What we did

We took over the Weerflash app in Flutter, for iOS and Android, from the team that built it. Like every takeover, it started with an audit of the code: the state it was in, the risks, and what to fix first. From there we develop the app further. What it does:

• Share the weather at your location, and get notified of a beautiful sunset or another unique weather phenomenon
• Rate the reports of others for correctness, collect points and score badges, with a 24-hour ranking
• A trend chart that shows at what hour and where a weather phenomenon developed

What changed

A lot of fixes and redesigns, in-app photos, weather bulletins and a rain radar. We also moved business logic from the frontend to the backend.

Today

Weerflash has 29k total downloads on iOS and 7k installs on Android.
