There is a neat feature of little boxes on the radar map that are places with outdoor webcams so you can see the actual weather in those locations. But their radar is slow to load and not that accurate. I like that it gives you current weather, next three days and radar on one screen with a slider to go all radar if you want. I wish they would do a paid version to get rid of the ads. I'm going to spend some more time exploring the new interface and see what other goodies are just there. The future predicted radar alone bumps this program up to a B+ for me. This is SLICK! And it also gives the longest radar time spreads which I like. They also have a very neat feature with the radar that when you press play to animate it, it gives you an option for 'Past' or 'Future'. The one thing I really like about TWC is their radar loads very fast and is very accurate. They also just redid the interface which is now cleaner but many dedicated users hate it. The Weather Channel: No paid version so you are stuck with ads. Could use an update to it's looks though. B+ for innovation and shear amount of information. In the end I grew tired of the lackluster colors and 'busy-ness' of the main interface but I still use some of it's widgets. The radar is just okay, kinda slow to load and not particularly accurate. But it also has some neat widgets that are very customizable. Also has a lot of really indepth information that many programs do not have - almost too much. C+ĮWeather HD: Another app I purchased based on a really neat weather 'clock' that gives you a great representation of what to expect in a 12 hour period at a glance. I did purchase this app for $1.99 which really only got rid of the ads. But overall the app is slow and not very accurate. I like how they do many things like the precipitation page which uses little beakers that fill up to show how much precipitation is expected. B+ġWeather: It has a kinda neat and interesting interface - very sparse and easy to read. I find the radar loads fairly quickly and is above average in accuracy. They just redid the interface and I liked the old interface better but that might be just because I was used to it. It's a good looking interface that does a nice balance of providing information by swiping from page to page. It's on sale right now for $.99 which is a good price. Here is a run down from my investigations and use:Īccuweather: I bought the paid version. To date I have tried several and I have even purchased more than one. I'm always looking for the newest and best (for me) weather app.
