Built to be dependable

Every feature in Sky Explorer is designed around one principle: you should always know what the sky is doing — fast, accurately, and without friction.

⚡

Instant on every open

Sky Explorer loads cached weather data the moment you open the app — before any network request is made. You see real, relevant weather data in under a second.

  • Smart 30-minute cache gate — no unnecessary API calls
  • Cache persists across app restarts
  • Stale-cache fallback if API fails
  • Auto-refresh loop every 5 minutes in background
📍

Your city, automatically

Sky Explorer detects your location gracefully. GPS gives precision. IP detection gives city-level accuracy when GPS is unavailable. The last city you searched is always remembered.

  • GPS location via button (never auto-blocking)
  • IP-based city detection as fallback
  • Last city remembered via PlayerPrefs
  • Manual city search always available
🌙

The sky changes. So does the app.

Backgrounds, particles, and color palettes shift dynamically based on real sunrise and sunset times from the weather API — not a fixed clock. Rain falls. Snow drifts. Stars appear at night.

  • Day / night detection via live sunrise + sunset data
  • Smooth color transitions between weather states
  • Rain, snow, and cloud particle systems
  • WeatherType enum for clean, extensible logic
🌡️

Weather your way

Toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit at any time. Wind displays in km/h or mph. Your preference is remembered, and the last real weather data re-renders instantly — no new API call needed.

  • °C / °F toggle with live re-render
  • Wind in km/h or mph
  • Humidity, pressure, feels-like temperature
  • Sunrise and sunset times
