Weather app Sunshine buys PressureNet; Android version to come

App maker Sunshine, creator of the iOS weather app also named Sunshine, is buying the app PressureNet and plans to make an Android version.

From PressureNet’s website:

“Sunshine is making the best weather service anyone has ever made. We believe in a connected world, where we’ll all be able to be prepare for unexpected events. It’s a pleasure to join the Sunshine team and to continue the increasingly important work of helping people receive accurate and useful weather forecasts.

What’s next for PressureNet? We are integrating our software and services with Sunshine to work together seamlessly. We are using the strengths from both companies to create the best weather experience we can for your smartphones.”

Sunshine is seeking to capitalize on PressureNet’s use of Android phones’ barometric sensors to predict hyperlocal weather before it happens.

At the moment, Sunshine is only available for iOS. But PressureNet promises an Android version and says customers can get in on the beta version of it by emailing android@thesunshine.co. No timeline for when either a beta or full version of Sunshine for Android will be available was given.
