Created by Marco van Hylckama Vlieg, the Last Weather App cuts all the nonsense and tells you the weather as it is. You will only need one glance to know everything you need to know about the weather.
The app is crude at best. It is not afraid of a bit of vulgarity and if you have a problem with it, it simply will not care.
In reality, how many of us actually check the wind chill and direction when we check the weather report? Most people look at the weather to decide if they should wear rain boots, snow boots or a coat when they get out of their house.
The Last Weather App is humorous as well as it is useful.
