AccuWeather Updates to v3.3

This new update for AccuWeather brought in two new features, that’s MinuteCast and Local Forecast Summary. So that you can see the weather by minute, as we know the weather can change a lot in just a few minutes. The local forecast summary aims to provide you a summary of the weather in your location for the next 3 to 5 days.

Facebook Updates with a smaller app

This week, Facebook updated their Android app, with a focus on developing countries. So the app size is now 65% smaller, and it will use 50% less data. Which is actually a good thing for everyone everywhere, but it’s targeted for those developing countries. It’s great to see it getting a bit smaller from Facebook, as that app was becoming monstrous in size.

Southwest Airlines Gets updated

Southwest Airlines updated their app this week as well, and here’s the changelog:

V¡monos de Viaje! We’re charting new territory! On July 1st, Southwest begins operating flights to Mexico and the Caribbean. In this update we’ve added:
– Ability to check in for international flights
– Ability to view flight status and setup notifications for international flights
– Added boarding time to your mobile boarding pass
For now, you can only book international flights, manage international trips and edit your passport information on the full southwest.com site.

Google Drive Gets a slightly new UI

Google updated their Google Drive app this week. Nothing major though. For those interested, here’s the changelog:

  • Google-colored refresh animation (was plain blue before)
  • Multi-user switcher now expands in-line instead of opens a drop-down
  • Doc creation shortcuts at the bottom of the screen in floating bar
  • Settings now links Program Policies
