I recently read a thread on MacRumors about the launch of a new weather app. Well, I'd yet to find one that worked great here in FL, so I had to check it out.
It was, Pocket Weather World by shifty jelly, the developer of one of the leading weather apps in Australia. I hem-hawed on it for a few days - until they said that Radar was coming. I haven't look
ed back!
They had some technical issues upon their launch (on the content provider side) - but the response to getting them worked out was great. The support side of an app often will sell me on a developer - and these guys are top notch.
This past week week I've enjoyed being able to see the weather at a glance in various parts of the world. Having a friend out of the country made it more interesting. So hey, let me know if you are going anywhere and I will stalk your weather while traveling.
This app will be perfect once they add radar and alerts (also coming). Because I don't have an iPhone, I don't use Push. Pocket Weather World will push the weather to your device though. You can choose what you want it to display. Apple prevents the use of negative numbers, so they are trying to sort out how they are going to report them. I have to say, I'm very thankful to NOT have to worry about that!
I will post some screen shots later.
Pocket Weather World gets a 4 out of 5 on the MPB rating scale. $2.99 at time of purchase.
