RunningWeather

Challenge

The founders of RunningWeather set out to eliminate the friction runners face when planning a workout: “Is this safe? Will I regret these shorts?” Most weather apps aren’t built for athletes and don’t adapt over time.

They needed:

• A mobile-first experience that delivered clear, runner-relevant insights.
• Personalized clothing recommendations based on real-feel conditions.
• An adaptive system that learns from user feedback and improves over time.
• A simple, fast UI for busy runners checking the app moments before heading out.
• Cross-platform availability and strong performance in any environment.

Solution(s)

JetRockets partnered with the RunningWeather team to develop a focused, user-centric mobile app. Our work included:

• React Native development for seamless iOS and Android performance.
• Custom weather logic tied to real-feel temp, wind, humidity, and AQI.
• Personalized gear suggestions based on weather + user preferences.
• Feedback loop integration, allowing users to rate post-run comfort and adjust future recommendations.
• Minimalist UX/UI focused on speed, clarity, and daily usability.
• Robust QA to ensure stable performance across devices and conditions.

Results

RunningWeather launched in January 2025 and quickly resonated with its niche audience of recreational and lifestyle runners.

The app now provides:

• Smart outfit recommendations that improve with use.
• Fast, frictionless daily forecasts without ads or clutter.
• A learning engine that adapts to individual runner comfort.
• A strong MVP foundation for premium features like training log integration and social sharing.
