The Cloth Weather App Now Integrates Local Weather Data

— June 23, 2012 — Tech
The Cloth Weather App is perfect for those who often forget to check the weather before heading out but never in a million years would overlook categorizing their latest outfit. An update to the popular Cloth App, which is essentially a wardrobe-organizing smartphone tool, the Cloth Weather App now integrates the user's local weather to help suggest climate-appropriate outfits so that they are as prepared as can be when facing the world.

Created in collaboration with wunderground.com, the Cloth Weather App uses real-time weather data to pull pieces that have already been cataloged by the user. Also, when people share their favorite looks, the iPhone app attaches a temperature stamp to the photo for the benefit of their audience.
