Welcome screen of the iOS weather app Oscar°, showing the app’s icon — a glowing orange sun on a blue gradient — above the words ‘Welcome to Oscar°.’ Below is a photo of a yellow legal pad with a handwritten note in black ink: ‘Thank you for trying out Oscar. So many years and so much heart went into this. I hope you like it as much as I do! — Philipp,’ accompanied by small doodles of a sun, a smiley, and a cat-like creature labeled ‘Gadse.’ A second line at the bottom reads ‘Für Oscar, Daniela, Uisel, Werner, Reinhard & Sammy.’ A blue ‘Let’s go’ button sits at the bottom of the screen.
