SUNDAZE — PRESS COPY

ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION
Sundaze is an iPhone weather app that turns real conditions and forecasts into a living 3D sky, rendered in real time on the device.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Sundaze replaces the usual weather-dashboard-first experience with a real-time 3D world driven by actual conditions and forecasts. Atmosphere, clouds, water, rain, snow, wind and light evolve with the weather. The app also hides collectibles and small games throughout its changing sky.
