Case Study: AccuWeather achieves top-ranked BB10 app launch in 4.5 weeks with Pivotal

AccuWeather is a weather authority that provides local forecasts for over two million locations worldwide

AccuWeather, a weather authority delivering local forecasts for over two million locations, needed to differentiate its mobile offering by detecting granular regional changes and presenting rich, frequently updated visuals. To convey a wide range of conditions the design team created more than 40 unique animations (updated hourly) — all while preparing a new BlackBerry 10 version on a very tight schedule.

Pivotal Labs provided design, development, and QA to build a BB10 app that preserved the original’s simplicity while adding delightful animations and integrations, shipping a fully functional release in 4.5 weeks. The app drew praise from BlackBerry executives at BlackBerry Jam, was named a Top Free App in BlackBerry World, and earned a 4.5/5 rating.
