MarcoPolo Weather
Children adjust wind, temperature and precipitation and watch a landscape and its characters react.
The whole app revolves around cause and effect in the weather. Turning up the wind spins a pinwheel, raising the temperature melts an igloo, and characters can be dressed for whatever the sky is doing.

Notes for parents
The store category and the company’s broader guidance measure different things, which is why the two age figures don’t line up.
