Google rolling out ‘News & Weather’ app for iOS

Google has a new app for iPhone and iPad users called ‘Google News & Weather‘ that presents local news and weather as well as headlines from a variety of categories and sources in one app. Categories for headlines can be added or removed from within the app for customizing the news you want to follow. Previously, Google News & Weather was only available for Android users.

The app joins a huge list of existing Google apps including Gmail, which was just updated for the new iPhone 6 display sizes yesterday, and Google News & Weather is already optimized for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Full description below:

Your comprehensive and personalized view of headline stories and local news & weather.

° Coverage from 65,000 publications

° Tune your layout with any of 60 country-specific editions and personalized news sections such as ‘Hollywood’, ‘NASA’, ‘Fashion’, or anything else that catches your fancy
° Tap any story for a deep selection of viewpoints, including in-depth articles, Opinion, and local perspectives

    Now that is one fugly weather app. I really like the design from Yahoo, but for my cycling trips I use WeatherPro.

    Prefer WeatherUnderground’s app and their Notifications screen widget. Sorry no need for news (aka spam).
