Standard Features
Swackett® is a fun new way to look at the weather. We convert complex weather data to easily-understood, visual weather reports designed for people of every age. Our unique approach is to combine raw weather data (current conditions, radar, and detailed forecasts) with thoughtfully crafted people symbols (called “peeps”) who always appear appropriately dressed for the weather.
If it happens to be cold outside, Swackett peeps appear dressed in winter hats, coats and boots. A hot, sunny day? Swackett peeps appear wearing shorts and sunglasses — and they even remember to bring along drinking water and sunblock. Rain? Swackett peeps appear with rain jackets and an umbrella.

Latest reviews of Swackett Classic™ — Weather, Fashion and Fun! app for iPhone and iPad
Fun but dont pay money for it. There are way better weather apps out there.
Best and most entertaining weather app ever!
Not bad. Just working kind of slow on my iPhone 4.
Better than the original. The only problem I am having is that I cannot transfer my paid editions from the original app to this one even though this app gives that option. I miss my 50s edition.
I have used Swackett and when it came out I used Swackett X on the Mac. then of course I used regular Swacket on my iPad3/3. I find Swackett X on iOS to be up to par with the excellence of the rest of them. It does what I need it to, and it just works at as a meteo-app. The graphics are fun and look great in Retina display. In particular I like the temp displayed in comfort index as primary. My only real complaint is that the Swackett X icon shows up as blank blue icon on my iPad3/3. It makes me wonder about how well AGlogic and the Apple App Store tested it on the iPad3 before it was sold. Of course it may be another slight binary corruption by Apple. In any case it needs to be fixed ASAP.
