However, this isn\u2019t your typical weather app; as the developer puts it, it\u2019s a \u201cweather app designed for people who love being around water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-9247\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When users open the app for the first time, they will be greeted by various graphs and symbols, which can seem a little confusing at first glance. But if you\u2019re in the target audience of people who spend a substantial amount of time around water, these graphs will make a little more sense to you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first graph presented to the user shows both high and low tides for the nearest measuring station. Below that graph is a section detailing wave heights and water temperatures for the closest NOAA buoy. Moving down even further, users get wind speed and air temperature measurements from a nearby NWS weather station. There are even more things included on the main page, such as the current moon phase, but as you can see, this app is clearly information-rich.<\/p>\n<figure

weather app information, such as the current temperature.
