The Weather Channel Releases Lumia-Only Windows Phone App: Augmented Reality, Social Weather Alerts, And More

image003The Weather Channel has been working hard to improve its mobile experience, with a new iPad app, a revamped iPhone app, and now a brand new Windows Phone app for Lumia devices. The WP app for Lumia will have features exclusive to Lumia owners for the next three to six months, at which point the same features will be ported over to the old Windows Phone app, available to all.Along with support for seven languages, the app will offer improved alert functionality and a new augmented reality feature. The Augmented reality feature allows you to check out the weather through your camera using photos submitted by users in your area. So, for example, if you pointed your phone's camera at the Empire State Building, and someone had just posted a photo of it in the rain, your screen would show that user's photo and the accompanying weather in your display.
