The Visual Weather Report
swackett® is a whole new way to look at the weather. We convert complex weather data to easily-understood, visual weather reports designed for people of every age. Our unique approach is to combine raw weather data (current conditions, radar, and detailed forecasts) with thoughtfully crafted people symbols (called “peeps”) who always appear appropriately dressed for the weather.
If it happens to be cold outside, swackett® peeps appear dressed in winter hats, coats and boots. A hot, sunny day? swackett® peeps appear wearing shorts and sunglasses — and they even remember to bring along drinking water and sunblock. Rain? swackett® peeps appear with rain jackets and an umbrella.
This is a fun, fresh and truly useful weather report experience for people of any age.

Great App
I love this application in this version the databass is large and more cities are there.
Fun way to check the weather
This program doesn't do more or less than other weather programs, it just makes it fun to find out what the weather forecast and conditions are. Always a fun surprise to see famous peeps and try to figure out who they are, dress the girl and boy and read the useless trivia. It's great that it syncs with the iPhone, but PLEASE come out with an iPad version. Using the iPhone app on the iPad is just not a satisfying experience and taking advantage of all the iPad's capabilities would make this an awesome iPad app.
This app with little snitch is the bomb
I blocked all the advertising requests and only let through the weather information, and I totally enjoy this app.
Thank goodness I don't get assaulted with ridiculous requests to purchase graphics or other bad advertising.
Very handy app, I just pop it up when I need to know what it's like outside, especially in this crazy warm NYC winter!
