SkyMotion was a weather forecasting mobile application developed by Canadian firm Sky Motion Research Inc. Its main suite of mobile applications, SkyMotion, was first released for Apple's iOS system in August 2012.[1] The firm has since designed and released a version for Android operating systems, as well as a desktop version.[2]
SkyMotion tracks and predicts all precipitation in the United States and Canada in real-time, using Doppler weather radars and other weather observation tools.[3] It currently forecasts rain, snow, freezing rain, ice pellets, and hail.[2]
To ensure accuracy for each user, the app tracks conditions in square kilometer segments. The forecasts are displayed in one-, five-, and fifteen-minute intervals within a two-hour window.
André Leblanc, recipient of an Academy Award[4] for the development and implementation of products Flame, Flint and Inferno, founded Sky Motion Research Inc in 2008.
In November 2013, AccuWeather acquired the company.[5]
