Amid all the other software excitement this week, Yahoo has updated its popular Yahoo Weather App. The company says, "By using technology typically only experienced in video games, Yahoo is taking the award-winning experience for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch one step further, and bringing the weather to life through animations that appear directly in the app, as well as in iOS 8's Today Widget."
The animations run over the top of the usual Flickr photos. They appear as a layer, like heat rising from the Las Vegas desert or moving clouds.
Yahoo Weather is one of the nicest free apps for weather and has more detail than the stock Apple app. Yahoo Weather requires iOS 7 or later. Most users should see the update today.
