I’m glad that more developers have started applying their UI magic to apps that aren’t just weather apps or calculator apps. Seeing more apps in categories like travel, email and news that look and feel amazing is awesome. Innovation Box make really great apps.

The data for flights is from FlightStats and for weather is from World Weather Online.

The original version was available as separate apps on iPhone and iPad. With iTranslate Voice 2, the app is now universal.
