Apollo Weather gets Weather Groups and Route Analysis

Meanwhile, Apollo Weather which is designed for athletes has received an update that’s particularly handy for cyclists with version 1.3:

Weather Groups and Route Analysis

Weather Groups helps athletes track hourly forecasts across multiple locations. While it is valuable for runners and hikers, it excels for cycling. Cyclists can monitor weather conditions before embarking on a ride and even add a route to visualize the journey, simplifying planning and preparation.

Apollo Weather is a free download from the App Store with in-app purchases to unlock all of the app’s capabilities.
