Dietlikon, Switzerland – Demodit GmbH today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of ClassicWeather 1.1 free for OS X, a Mac version of its iPhone/iPad weather app. This handsomely styled app simultaneously displays compact widgets with forecasts for multiple cities. Tabbed buttons change the view to informative text and graphics, reporting the weather today, summary for the next days, hourly weather for next days, and a description in text. ClassicWeather for iPhone/iPad is availble since more than a year and earned a 4-star rating in the U.S. App Store.
The weather widgets of the app represent weather information for selectable cities in a simple and clear way. The widgets are equal to those of the iPhone/iPad version. As the app also supports iOS like swipe gestures, mobile users are at once familiar with the app. Nevertheless it still responds to computer controls like the mouse wheel.
Feature Highlights:
* Current weather conditions
* Forecast for 6 days
* Forecast for next 12 hours
* Forecast by the hour
* Temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius
* Probability of precipitation
* Local time

* 12-hour or 24-hour time format
* 2 widget designs

Since the iOS version has been updated to the new design of iOS 7, the Mac version offers the widgets also in flat design. The design is selectable in the settings. The widgets are arranged automatically optimized according the number of widgets and chosen window size. With a slider in the toolbar the spacing between the widgets can be increased to manually affect the arrangement. Up to 3 rows of 5 widgets can be displayed on one page.
Additional Features with Upgrade to Premium:
* Forecast for the next 10 days
* Forecast for next 24(+) hours (scrollable)

“The app offers additional weather information with an integrated Premium upgrade.” said Bruno Dornbierer, CEO of Demodit GmbH. “We want everyone to try our app for free. As far as we know there are no ad services available for Mac. As commercial organization we therefore depend on in-app purchases. As downloads of Mac version are even lower as for iPhone/iPad, the current upgrade price may be increased in the future.”
