Description
The first and only app on Google Play that simulates real-world weather conditions with eye-catching multi-layered parallax effects! All packed in iOS 7 weather app like beautiful visualisations.
There are no pre-prepared animations or downloaded images. Beautiful and realistic visualisations are generated in real-time using the latest OpenGL technology allowing for seamless daytime to nighttime transitions and fluid movement.
The amount of rain or snow actually mirrors the current weather conditions: clouds will move according to the current wind speed; the position of the Sun is based on actual sunrise and sunset times and even the brightness and the colour of the sky is based on live data.
Watch the lens flare effect as you move your device around on a sunny day, see the volume and depth of the clouds on a cloudy day or watch the raindrops settle on the screen on a rainy day.
Features include the following:
- Real-world weather beautifully rendered using real weather data
- Current weather details displayed as a notification (can be disabled)
- Two weather providers to choose from
- True 3D parallax depth effect using an unlimited number of layers (can be disabled)
- Parallax effect on raindrops and snowflakes
- Smooth daytime to nighttime transitions
- Color palette, and the position of the moon and the sun based on current sunrise and sunset times
- Cloud movement based on the actual current wind speed
- See twinkling stars on a clear nighttime sky
- Special effects like lens flare reacting to device movement, thunder and lightning or raindrops on glass effect
- Automatically detects your location and changes the weather on screen to match
- Raining all the time where you live? Set the location manually to anywhere in the world!
- No ongoing background services
- Doesn't use GPS - no battery draining network calls
**Disclaimer: provided weather data at times might not exactly match your local weather conditions

I really like this app. Using awesome 3D effects to show real-time weather is so cool. But for some reason the app only shows temperatures in C° instead of F° on the Notification Bar on all 3 of my devices. Switching back & forth between C° & F° does not fix it. Uninstalling & reinstalling does not fix it. Enabling, then disabling User Selected Weather fixes it, but that limits the usefulness and cool-factor of the app.. Adjustable sounds of thunder & rain would make this app the best! Moto X Pure

Pretty Neat App However, search needs some work. Where are the States. There are multiple cities across the US and there is no way really to distinguish them. Also a manual refresh on weather would be a nice addition. It's cloudy with sprinkles atm, but app has sunny or scattered clouds. Otherwise, I am impressed. Also, the evening colors could be better more vibrant rant seems pretty dull atm. Certainly worth the $.99 I paid it would be worth more via some of the above fixes. Good Luck, looking forward to future updates!

Not quite 5 star It's good but only 4 stars because the real time weather doesn't update fast enough. I have everything turned and still am looking at night time when it's 9am. It says it refreshes every 30 minutes but it never truley reflects real time weather which is ashame but overall it's not too bad

Beautiful but weather completely wrong This is more than I could have hoped for in a live background weather app, however, the weather and time of day are completely wrong. A fix is definitely required for Canada. When the displayed weather is corrected to reflect actual weather conditions (the whole point of the app), it could easily earn 5 stars.

Great effects...but... This is a great app and the effects are awesome...but, the purpose of this app is to have your background synchronized with the actual weather. It's always wrong and the temperature is always stuck reading in Celsius. It definitely needs some work. HTC One M8

Make sure you reinstall after updates This has been my main background for over a year now, wish there were more backgrounds like it :) Nice looking, works great. However when I updated to Marshmallow, and subsequent updates, I had major issues. After a lot of uninstalling apps, I found that 3D weather was the problem. It is no big deal, you just have to make sure you fully uninstall it after an update, and then reinstall it. All works well then. For future work, it would be great if the moon and the sun were aligned with reality :)

Wrong time issue still Still has the time of day issue for me. Still not fixed. This is a fantastic wallpaper it just needs the time issue fixed. Just have manual sunrise sunset timers. Wallpaper times are worst in the morning. Still not fixed.

Hi Daniel, have you tried setting sunrise and sunset times in settings? Aweful app. Doesn't update realtime or even in 30 mins. Nothing like the video you see!
Almost accurate... I'm only saying this because my sunset time is currently 4 hours behind schedule. Aside from this everything else is great
Update 2/28/17: deleting app. Shows raining and its sunny outside. Update 2/02/17: developer needs to have the app refresh more often to show accurate live wallpaper
Wow just wow Ive tried the other 3d background app and didnt like it then i seen this one and it is really really stunning love the real time weather fuction as a wallpaper and the 3d effect makes it look even better.. dev have done a great job on this app
Just what I wanted. I'm addicted to live wallpapers and this is hands down the best one I own. There are plenty of options, constant updates, the weather seems accurate and the parallax is well executed. Well done devs. A permanent install on any device I own.
To Vinwap developer, I really wish this live wallpaper app could have done more with realistic dramatic 3D weather effects using OpenGL, like the one seen on HTC Sensation built in weather apps (Android 2.34), which shows how the rain drops "sprinkling, dripping, flowing" all the way down on the screen, while camera moves to look up to see scattered moving clouds, with stars in the backgrounds, while rain drops falling to hit on the camera lens. Also, thunderstorms efx on HTC is like riding through inside of a vortex inside the Bermuda Triangle. Also, on HTC, theres is a flying above clouds effects with sunrise/ full moon at horizon on clear sunrise/day/night. Snow effects is more ethereal softer than your weather app. On htc, Fog effects is more in the face experience. Amazing. Exclusive on HTC. :o)
Paid for this crap!! There's no On screen temperature or clock and it won't show in the notification bar and it won't change from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Glad it was only an dollar.
Almost good Visualization is verry good,but drain battery like hell
Great Love having my background showing the current weather, works well so far with location settings in the UK. Sizable sun and moon would be great but not a deal breaker. Nice simple app.
I wish you could choose the weather provider. It's 6:30pm, still bright as hell outside, and my screen is saying that it is dark and the moon is already up. WTH?!
This needs a few updates but very good so far. 1. Please add state names to the search 2. GPS is off - showing me as Earth, None instead of the location I am at.
Would be great if it only pulled correct sunrise and sunset times Please make sunrise and sunset time automatically update from from localized weather reports.
Location is all wrong Waste of money, If you use automatic location is gives you earth
Really need an update! Could do with a few added features and an update to be more consistent with the actual weather. This was promised by the dev 9 months ago.
Got everything I wanted. :) No crash, no problem for more than 2 years. Good job developers...
Doesn't Update its 10am and the screen is still night.. I like the app but can't update!!
I wish this app would display the temperature in the status bar.
Best live wallpaper! With hand on my heart! Maybe some video scenes update?...
App used to work No longer can find my location and the weather is way off!!!
how do i disable animations? when i do, there are still shown
Nice app The update accuracy and interval must be more sharp...please make an update...but so far i am sticking to this one...hope it gets better before i get a better one...thanks !
Fahrenheit setting doesn't stick after reboot, even though its still checked in settings. Is this something that will be fixed in the future? Nice App otherwise.
Good app but... I like this app. Cool backround with very nice animations. But for some reason - from time to time the weather shows different weather in my location (this issue is probably caused by provider of weather data). I do not use gps location, i use one city all the time. When i go to settings it display this message " Could not connect to weather data server. Please try again later". . I am always on Wifi or on data. Where is the glitch? I will give it 5 stars when this issue is fixed.
Sexy! This is a keeper. I am a person to avoid all paid apps unless I feel they really have something to offer. This was one of those. It changes based on your time, and weather. And it's parallax! unfortunately I don't feel this is a 5 star app without a little tweaking . :( PLEASE FIX: The moon should not be on the same parallax layer as the stars. The stars should be on at least 2 parallax layers, if not 3. It would give a much better effect. :) The moon/sun should barely move with parallax.
I LOVE THIS APP! While there were updates that should have fixed the sunrise/sunset colour, I've noticed something else; when phone is on landscape, the farthest background is squished somehow. Otherwise, the app is great! It looks incredible on my galaxy note 3.
Excellent App This is by far the best app for something that mimics the live weather. Using it on S6 Edge. The graphics are great as well and the 3D effect is cool. I took one star off because there is still room for improvement in terms of graphics. I would not give even 4 stars to any other weather live wallpaper. This is the best available.
Beautiful, but inaccurate It's unfortunate that this otherwise perfect wallpaper is dragged down by the Open Weather Map service. It snowed all day yesterday, but OWM and therefore wallpaper showed cloudy. Today it's cloudy, OWM and wallpaper show clear sky. Did I miss an older version where I could select Weather Underground instead? Update: We have a Winter Storm Warning and it's snowing like crazy. OWM and the wallpaper show "overcast clouds."
