Applications make your life convenient.
Useful application 1：Weather forecast
Weather forecast applications are used when you check today’s temperature and weather to decide today’s outfit and whether you bring your umbrella or not. These applications also tell you what time it rains and it stops raining.
- Example 1. Yahoo!天気(Tenki)
This application tells you hourly weather and weather report for a week at first glance. It tells daily weather for 16 days. This application has many functions such as rain radar, providing advisory and alerts on heavy rain, wind storms, etc. It also shows the current temperature and guides on laundry, outfits, rain, etc. You can register five areas other than the current location to check the weather without searching the place every time. My favorite point is that the outfit guide tells concrete outfits like this: A thin long-sleeve shirt is recommended today.
- Example 2. tenki.jp
tenki.jp is the official application of Japan Meteorological Agency, and it is special for weather forecasts. As well as Yahoo! tenki, this application also tells you hourly weather and weather reports for a week. It also has rain radar and many guides. A feature of this application is that it provides detailed information such as hourly precipitation, humidity, and strength and direction of the wind.
- Example 3. ウェザーニュース (Weather news)
This application tells not only the hourly and daily weather forecast but also tells the weather of every five minutes. It has rain radar and provides many kinds of information about disaster mitigation and disaster reduction on the weather. It shows various types of guides, and the outfit’s direction is offered in two styles; during the day and in the morning and evening. It has a lot of information about the seasons, and it has the function of posting pictures of the sky.
Useful application 2：Route search
Route search applications are used when you search the time you ride on the train to arrive at your destination on time and the way to go to the place where you do not usually go.
- Example 1. Yahoo!乗換案内(Norikae Guide)
This application shows routes after you add the information about the departure place and your destination. You do not have to add the station’s names where you ride on and get off. It has some options of transfer time and speeds of walking. If you register the designed area of your commuter pass, this application countdown the time until the train departs. This application is recommended for people who use the train when they go to school or commute. It provides transportation other than trains such as buses as suggestions. This application is useful because it shows the congestion of the train and the exit number of the getting off station.
- Example 2. Norikae Annai -Japan Transit-
This application has Japanese and English versions. You can buy one-day unlimited-ride tickets or tickets for amusement facilities.
