Sensecast is a weather app and atmospheric science academy that helps people understand not only what the forecast says, but why. Available for iOS, iPadOS, and Android, it combines location-aware forecasts with explanations that make meteorological concepts accessible. Users can compare data from 18 forecast sources, including major national services and global models, with automatic routing to providers suited to local terrain and the option to choose another source. Its searchable academy covers 43 topics, explaining weather metrics through plain-language analogies, safety scales, and deeper scientific detail.

Beyond forecasts, Sensecast brings live hazard information together on a map, including tornado reports, power outages, earthquakes, wildfires, and tropical cyclones. It also offers Doppler radar with past observations and nowcasts, interactive weather visuals, customizable widgets, and alerts for significant pressure changes. Pro features include additional forecast models, storm verification reports with reference IDs, and expanded widget customization. The app is free to use without an account or ads, and emphasizes on-device privacy and data from public open sources.
