A gamified weather forecasting app combining accurate forecasts with prediction contests and an in-app economy.
StormRank is a gamified weather forecasting app that combines accurate weather information with competitive prediction contests. Users can explore forecasts, compete with others, earn rewards, and unlock premium features, turning everyday weather tracking into an engaging experience.
Weather apps are a commodity, and they needed only one thing more than just being sent once a day to the client to check the weather forecast – a real differentiator – and they just couldn't do without the accuracy that they must maintain if they are to be considered weather apps.
We built a weather-based storm contest experience that combines real-time storm conditions, contest details, and forecasting into one engaging mobile interface.
Contest Overview: Showed location, date, participants, entry fee, and prize.
Live Conditions: Displayed storm category, wind speed, movement, and pressure.
Storm Visualization: Added a map view to provide quick visual context.
Forecasting: Created a simple interface for users to submit storm predictions.
