To increase independence or just for fun, iDress for Weather provides children and adults, with or without disabilities, the opportunity to make connections between weather conditions and clothing through bold, brightly colored images, a simple swipe, and without the need for reading or math skills.
By setting individualized temperature ranges (cold to one person is not the same as cold to someone else!) and putting individual clothes in the closets (Whats in your closet? You decide!), iDress for Weather is customizable for anyone living in any climate with any personal preferences or needs. As reported by parents and teachers alike, iDress for Weather is a great tool in increasing a childs independence and reducing conflicts in morning routines.
Other optional settings include summer or winter trees, fahrenheit or celsius. Displaying the wind speed and humidity are also optional settings.
How it Works:
Everyone experiences temperatures differently based on geography and body functioning. iDress for Weather takes this into account by allowing you to define what is hot, warm, cool, cold, and really cold.
Until late afternoon, a single swipe to the left will display a closet with clothing to match the forecasted high. In the evening, the closet will display clothing for the overnight low. You decide what goes in each closet.
How to Customize the Weather Screen:
*To select fahrenheit or celsius, tap the “i” on bottom left corner of the weather screen and then tap "Units".
*To select a location, tap the “i” on bottom left corner of the weather screen and then tap “Location”.
*To set temperature levels (strongly recommended), tap the “i” on bottom left corner of the weather screen and then tap "Temperature Levels".
*To show wind and humidity, tap the “i” on bottom left corner of the weather screen and then tap "Extended Info".
*To select winter or summer landscapes, tap the “i” on bottom left corner of the weather screen, then tap "Tree Season".
How to Customize the Closet:
* Swipe to left to enter the closet, then tap the “i” in the bottom left corner. You can choose photos from your cameral roll or take a photo.

Latest reviews of iDress for Weather app for iPhone and iPad
The clothing choices dont work properly for Celcius readings, and when I set custom temperature levels for cool, warm, etc., it just keeps resetting them to the defaults. Also, I had the impression that there were different clothing images to choose from, and you could sort of personalize it a bit, but its just one set image per weather condition. For $1.99, I expected more, given how inexpensive weather apps generally are.
Very hard to figure it out. It does not work properly. User non-friendly
I got this ap fir my son who is 10 and has autism he has a hard Time with change of seasons. This ap is ok I would like the option to turn off the sound. And wish it were more specific for the whole day not just current temp. But it has been working ok for us.
nothing much to do with this app. look at temp, and decide if its hot, cool, etc and choose a closet. cant do anything with the closet and special needs kids would find this terribly boring
I love the idea of this app but it could be better 1) Id love to see a uv rating added to the wind and humidty air rating would be nice as well but uv rating is a deffinite must 2) When raining display the rain clothing on separate page. For example main page for temperature then rain page. I say thi because it can rain when cool warm or hot so on rainy days this app is useless for saying what temperature to dress for as it just shows rain clothes
