The hourly forecasts are great!

"Was described as free but was onlt 30 day trail"
Version: Weather Watcher 7.0.95
Pros
OK but was not described correctly
Cons
After saying it was free I downloaded it and all I got was a 30 trail.
Think that should have been said before download. -
"NOT FREE, Just trial!"

Cons
Says free, but only 30 days. No thanks

Don't say free when really only TRIAL. Go with a free one.

"Does what its suppose to do"

"very easy to use"

When I get a new computer this is one of the first programs I load.

"Weather Watcher fee based program"
Version: Weather Watcher 7.0.81
Pros
It is a comprehensive weather program with many options and good graphic interface
It can provide all kinds of details for local and us, and probably lots moreCons
It has a small fee for usage and i didnt keep it long enough to see if it was a one time or annual deal. I have only basic routine weather interests and i use a free one and h ave for years which provides me with all , and more , that i need.
Summary
i only used it a week or so before i even realized it was fee based. i didnt really even use it , but installed it and got around to it a week after and liked what it was , only i had the browser app which served me well and was accurate , with a few days forecasts (any more is so much guess work, why bother?) is my opinion. I guess if one is a real weather geek , then $9 is a small price for a good program, as far as my limited use revealed. though not for me, i am sure there are plenty of people who would love it

"Very good weather program"
Version: Weather Watcher 7.0.66
Pros
Much detail. Hourly weather for days on end. Daily summaries for 6-7 days (day/night data). Many options to tweak it to your desires. Many NWS and. PWS accessed for people in the USA. Maps. Plus more.
Cons
It appears to have been made VERY hard to impossible to obtain the formerly free "Weather Watcher" programs.
Summary
I recommend you give the 30 day trial a test drive. It is the best weather program for the PC I have found to date.
If you don't want to spend the money, you might try YoWindow. You CAN use the free version of that, PLUS it is less expensive should you later purchase the right to use the upgrade.
A second FREE alternative is WeatherMate. But in my opinion, it is a notch below either mentioned above. -
"It is very useful and informative tool"
