The Ionic team, known for its interest in weather forecasts, collaborated with Cuttlesoft to develop an IoT-focused Ionic app for UCompass' WeatherSTEM product, which integrates scientific instruments, data, and educational curricula to help users interact with their environment. The app, available for iOS and Android, allows users to browse WeatherSTEM units installed across the U.S. and build custom dashboards for tracking and analyzing environmental data, which can be shared on social media. The system is also educational, providing schools with real-time weather data for teaching purposes. Cuttlesoft, responsible for developing the app and parts of the API, used Ionic and Cordova plugins for features like geolocation, Google Analytics, and push notifications, completing the project within a month despite a tight deadline. The app's versatility and ease of use have made it a favored platform for rapid mobile development, with Cuttlesoft's CTO, Emily Morehouse, praising Ionic's ability to maintain a unified codebase and facilitate quick iteration.
