    "Annoying Splash Screen"

    July 15, 2012  |   By JoeShmoe789

    Pros

    Great app does what it supposed to, has an hourly, 36hr, 3 day and weekend option plus the little temperature icon on the bottom right, that's pretty much all I need

    Cons

    Annoying Splash Screen - If you don't mind pop up ads, then this might now bother you.

    Summary

    Great app does what it supposed to, has an hourly, 36hr, 3 day and weekend option plus the little temperature icon on the bottom right, that's pretty much all I need.... but every time I start windows, the annoying Splash Screen comes on. I don't need to see the weather every single time I start windows, give us the option to open the application when we need it and not every time windows start. There is an option so the app doesn't start on windows start up, but then you don't get the little temperature icon on the bottom right. If it wasn't for the annoying pop up slash screen I would've gave it 5 stars, but I got annoyed and uninstalled it.
