It sounds audacious to say “this is the only service you’ll need,” but not when you’re talking about Poncho. This personalized weather service takes all the guesswork out of getting ready in the morning. Wondering what the weather is going to be like? Worried your train is late? Not sure if alternate side parking is in effect or not? Poncho’s got you covered.
“It’s like being pals with the weather man,” writes Landrie Moore of Vanity Fair.
“You tell Poncho a little about you—what time you wake up, how you commute, what trains you take, etc.—and you get friendly, colloquial weather updates.”
Gone are the days when you check your phone only to find a bare bones forecast (39 degrees? Great, but what does that mean?) and little help on whether you should wear a scarf or leave it at home. Never again pray to the MTA while you’re rushing to work, five minutes late, that the trains are running smoothly. Poncho will let you know if your train has been delayed, and text you with any major changes to your commute.
“Cute, sassy, and concise, Poncho forecasts the day’s weather better than any standalone weather app I’ve ever had” wrote Brian Ries of the Daily Beast.
Poncho was hacked together deep in the studio of betaworks in April last year, and has seen amazing growth and popularity in the months since it came to fruition.
Weather is tricky, and you should never be caught in the rain without your umbrella (unless, of course, you’re going for a “Singing in the Rain”-esque experience. Then by all means, follow your heart, we’re not going to stop you). With Poncho, you never will.
