This lesser-known app is tailored to those with outdoorsy tendencies, with a Sports Index that lets users know how ideal the conditions are for heading to the trails for a hike, fishing, camping, or whatever else you’re into.

But what sets it apart is this: if the ranking hovers at one to two, it gives the user the go-ahead to head outside. But if the score is a nine or 10, the app suggests you cancel those plans.

Like other apps, WeatherBug shows specific weather information including the daily temperature, weather conditions, and humidity level. But a different and slightly strange aspect of this app is that the user can access cameras located in the area they’re checking the weather for to get a live street view. We guess it’s to provide a live look at the weather? Either way, a little unsettling.
