"Of all these weather apps, Outside is the most fun" - New York Times
"Outside Puts The iPhone Weather App To Shame." - Techcrunch
"Outside Is a Super-Stylish Weather Notifying App" - Lifehacker
Outside combines current weather and local forecasts with custom push notifications. Look out the window and see what the weather is like through stunning visuals. Swipe the days to see the forecasts, or setup and receive alerts when the weather is just right.
With our custom push notifications you can have Outside alert you of certain weather situations. It’s easy and fun to set up your very own notifications. Have Outside wake you up in the morning and tell you if you’re going to need an umbrella for work today. Outside monitors the local weather and tells you when it’s going to rain. You can also monitor UV levels – or how about setting up a cold weather notification, reminding you when it’s time to slip on the big overcoat?
We have weather data from around the world, so that you are always served fresh-off-the-observatory local forecasts, relevant to you.

What's New in Version 1.2
Welcome to Outside - The wait is finally over!
✔ Full Retina Support. Yeah baby, the weather is now in HD.
✔ Weather Notifications are now FREE!
✔ New Icon and Interface changes
✔ Fixed Notification crashing bug
We thank everyone for your patience, we can't begin to describe how long we've actually been working on this. We had to rebuild the entire app (not just the tons of graphics) to accommodate the higher resolution artwork and animations. This basically meant starting from scratch and creating Outside all over again.
What happened to the Notification Subscription? After months of crunching the numbers and reorganizing the servers, we've decided to shoulder the cost of offering custom notifications - We thank everyone who have supported the subscription service, know that it's because of you that we are now able to offer the service for free.
We hope you enjoy this much awaited update, as always 5 star reviews on iTunes or a simple tweet are a tremendous help in keeping the app alive.

Customer Reviews
Decent. Poor support.
Like the app. Push notifications hardly ever work. Contact with the developer has been very poor and many emails have went unanswered with questions regarding the app. Disappointed.
Push Notifications Don't Work
Need I say more? Push doesn't work currently. Haven't seen a push since I bought it and I have four set up.
Child-like interface... Many flaws
Really! How can you rate this app at 5-stars! I can only think that the other five star reviewers are relatives, family, or employees of the developer!! Not worth the price asked. Poor interface for establishing and editing a list of locations to follow. The location is not noted on the various forecast pages so you almost never know what place your seeing a forecast for. Graphics are child like and irrelevant. Reminds me of a rule of presenting: "if you don't know what you're talking about... dazzle them with your presentation!" if you plan on using at 2X on the iPad then be prepared for fuzzy edged graphics.
