A pixel art weather app for iPhone

Pixel art never goes out of style. Here's how to get your forecast as a retro game screen, with your own city as the level.

By the Meteopolis team · Updated

Meteopolis has two pixel-art weather styles. Pixel (free) draws your city as an isometric pixel-art scene with an outlined pixel font and pixel weather icons, and 16-Bit (paid) goes for the console-era look. Both update with the real weather, including animated pixel rain and snow.

Pixel and 16-Bit

Choosing a pixel style restyles more than the picture. The city name, the temperature and the forecast cards switch to a pixel font, the weather icons become pixel sprites, and even the tab bar gets chunky pixel borders.
