Read the forecast in larger type
The temperature is the first thing on the screen, and the biggest. Bold Weather gives the numbers you check most often the room they need.
Most weather apps fit a day of detail onto one screen. Bold Weather shows fewer numbers at a larger size and puts the rest one tap away.
What you see first
- The current temperature, in the largest type on the screen
- A short description of the sky, such as “Partly cloudy”
- Today’s high and low
- The feels-like temperature when it differs from the air temperature
- The chance of rain for the rest of the day
- A sentence about what to expect
Everything else, including the hourly list, the 10-day list, wind, humidity, and the UV index, waits on the next screens in the same clear type.
Type that follows your settings
Bold Weather uses your iPhone text size, including the larger accessibility sizes, and never caps it. Turn on Bold Text and the app’s type gets heavier too. Turn on Increase Contrast and the colors get stronger. Turn on Reduce Motion and the app stops animating.
If you have not changed those settings, the temperature is still large. The iPhone text-size guide explains where the settings are and what to check in a weather app.
Distinct numbers and space around them
A readable number is more than a larger font. Its shape should be distinct, its weight should stay clear, and it should have space beside the next number. Bold Weather uses the iPhone system font at heavy weights, keeps the temperature away from the edges of the screen, and separates the high from the low so they cannot be confused.
The temperature is shown in Fahrenheit or Celsius, following your iPhone region setting, and you can switch in the app.
See the difference for yourself
The home page preview lets you compare text sizes in the same forecast card. Look at the temperature, then at the summary sentence. Notice how the space around a number changes the way you read it.
