WeatherTV

WeatherTV is the first application built on the Altruistic Apps platform — a curated YouTube content aggregator that brings 108 storm chasers, weather forecasters, and weather content creators together in one television-style interface.

Live stream detection fires the moment a chaser goes on air. All content plays through official YouTube embeds, preserving full monetization and subscriber counts for every creator we feature.

Mission Statement

Making the world better.
One app at a time.

Altruistic Apps was built by a person with 15 years of product experience and 5 years of educational software development. The goal was simple: build applications that help and educate people — at no cost to them.

At a time when everything costs too much money and even apps squeeze your budget, we build apps that provide information in a fun and meaningful way. Our promise: We will never monetize our public-facing consumer apps. The vast majority of what we build is completely free — no fees, no subscriptions, no ads, and no data collection. Ever.

🚫
No App Store Cost Our consumer apps are free to download, forever

No Ads Your attention is yours — on every app we build

Low-Cost SideQuests Our B2B training platform and video games charge a small fee — dramatically less than competitors — to help cover development and distribution

Our SideQuests lineup is a small but intentional exception to the free-everything rule. A business training platform and a platform video game aren't the same as a mobile app — they require ongoing development, hosting, and distribution investment. So we charge, but we charge fairly: significantly less than what competitors demand, because we believe small businesses deserve software that helps their teams grow without breaking the budget, and gamers deserve great experiences without a $70 price tag.

If we can help educate, connect people to help, and train workers — doing all of it in a cost-effective and humane way — we've helped make the world better around us. Join us in trying to make the world a better place.
