I built a Kawaii Weather app with accurate forecasts

I got tired of checking other weather apps and not being able to answer 3 simple questions fast enough:

  • Will it rain?
  • When will it start?
  • When will it stop?

So I built my own weather app that gives you this information in two seconds.

My goal with this app was simple: make weather information instantly understandable instead of overwhelming.

In addition, the app shows the weather with cute Japanese anime representations of cities. Currently, there are images for nearly 1,000 cities around the world. Most city images have both a day and night version - meaning that the image will adept to the time. If your location isn’t available, you’ll still get an anime depiction of a typical village in your country (e.g., a cute Swiss town).

On the accuracy side, the app pulls data from well-respected sources, including Foreca (ranked top 3 internationally and #1 in Europe), as well as Apple Weather and several national weather bureaus.

Would genuinely love feedback from you!

I built a Kawaii Weather app with accurate forecasts

I’m a Data Scientist by background, so I have some coding experience, though much less in software development. That’s why Claude Code and Codex were incredibly helpful while building my weather app.

Reason for building the app: I got tired of opening weather apps and not being able to answer three simple questions quickly:

• Will it rain?
• When will it start?
• When will it stop?

So I built my own app that gives those answers in seconds.

Need logo feedback/ideas/direction for my "aesthetic" iOS weather app

I’m not a product designer—just a small independent developer (and a former Data Scientist). I’d really appreciate your feedback and ideas for the logo of my weather app, because I’m struggling to find the right direction.

Personally, I like the umbrella options because they feel more unique and artistic, even though they don’t directly relate to photography. However, a FAANG software engineer told me the umbrella concepts don’t really align with the core idea of the app, which is centered around photography and aesthetics. On the other hand, using a photorealistic nature scene as the logo feels a bit cheap and dated—almost like early-2000s “Windows XP wallpaper” aesthetics—which is something I’d like to avoid.

For context, my weather app can display either cityscapes or nature photography as dynamic backgrounds for each location. My weather app aims to be a clean, aesthetic, and minimalist style that mainly follows Apple-style design principles.

Interested in true stories from fellow indie devs.

How effective is marketing your app in TikTok and Instagram? Is it effective in gaining users? Do you spend money on paid ads or do you post your content in regular form?
