Apps Review - November 2018

BTM brings you the low-down on the latest and greatest apps on the market.

Verdict: A bright and breezy weather app.

What is it? 
A weather app that packs a ton of information, such as the current conditions, temperature (and whether it’s rising or falling), wind speed and direction, humidity, barometric pressure and visibility.
A variety of charts and, most niftily of all, a fully animated weather globe shows the severity of various weather conditions and a brief sentence lets you know what type and to what degree a certain type of weather will be coming within the next hour. A few simple clicks will take you to any city in the world.

The Good 
It’s a beautiful app, stunningly designed and one that fits in perfectly with the design aesthetics of iOS. Everything about the app just works smoothly and intuitively, and the 3D-globe radar map is a stunning way to convey weather information.

 The Bad
It’s a tough ask to pay for a weather app when there’s already one built in with the iPhone. There’s also a limitation on forecast data and the app provides few details further than an hour or so ahead; this is very much a ‘here and now’ weather app.

Daleni

After gaining massive popularity in Saudi Arabia, the Daleni app has extended its reach to Bahrain. With a large array of services, Daleni provides a more convenient and stress-free way of getting daily tasks done.

Developed by Al Azom Plus Trading Co, Daleni currently provides numerous home services including cleaning, man & van, pest control, maids and AC maintenance, with several other options scheduled to be included by the end of the year.

The app connects customers with authentic and professional service providers, who also supply all the necessary equipment when visiting a customer’s residence to ensure the hassle-free concept of the app. 

Daleni can be downloaded from App Store and Google Play. For more information visit https://www.daleniksa.com/?lang=en

Runmeter

Rich with stats and highly customisable, Runmeter is one of the most comprehensive iPhone running apps around. Runmeter tracks just about everything there is to track during your outdoor workouts, from pace and distance to how many miles you’ve run over a selected period of time. It also provides health and wellness information, such as calorie-burning estimates and workout recommendations.
