CNET Editors' review
YoWindow is a weather application for your PC that manages to deliver weather data in a unique and fun interface. With its ability to save multiple locations, it makes it incredibly simple to quickly pull up weather reports from anywhere in the world.
The program is about as simple as your typical weather-reporting Web site. Enter a city anywhere in the world, and watch as YoWindow's background image changes to reflect the current weather conditions there. In addition, YoWindow supplies you with all of the hard facts, including high and low for the day, Wind, Pressure, and Humidity. There's a time graph along the top of YoWindow where you can click through to see weather forecasts for different times throughout the day. And of course, you can also shuttle through different dates as well. There's even a calendar component that you can click through.
While previous versions of YoWindow offered only a single landscape background, this newest version offers five, including Village, Seaside, Airport, Oriental, and Sky. In addition, the program lets you turn any of your personal photos into a landscape, just for kicks. Whichever background you choose, YoWindow's visualizations always show up, indicating rain, clouds, even night and day. This makes it easy to get a weather reading by quickly glancing at your screen.
Overall, YoWindow is a surprisingly useful app that also looks good. With its several landscapes and nifty weather visualizations, it provides a unique way of checking the forecast. You can use the program in its own window on your desktop, or set it as your default Windows screensaver. Either way, the information is all there, ready to access in just a few clicks.
YoWindow is free to try, but the trial version limits users to a three-day forecast and fewer landscapes to play with. When installing, make sure to watch out for the bundled toolbar, and opt in or out according to your preference.

"Very Nice App ."
Version: YoWindow 3S build 145
Pros
Temps and forecasts (from National Weather Service) fairly accurate; artwork is pleasant (if somewhat rudimentary); hey, it's free.
Cons
Only a 3 day forecast and 1 background scene in free version.
Summary
Not my go-to app for checking the weather, but I check it out now & then if I only want to know the weather for the next day or two. I do like checking it at night to see the shooting stars, I must admit. (I find it relaxing when I need a break.) All-in-all, a nice app, and the price is right.

"Sadly overrated here."
Version: YoWindow 3S build 145
Pros
Looks impressive at first install. Layout excellent. Alternative city info very good. Temps broadly right.
Cons
Theme artwork basic. But my main gripe is that you are supposed to be looking out of a window at the weather. NO. My real window has different weather. Rare that it got rain right (although haven't seen rain for some months now as we have a drought on). Heavy clouds on Yo...clear blue sky's out of the real window. Gonna resist putting this back on having removed some while back out of sheer frustration.
Summary
Will try tea leaves.

"Accurate weather and temp readings."
Version: YoWindow 3S build 145
Pros
Price is right. The weather and temp predictions are usually accurate, even though the weather in Seattle is tough to predict. The choices of background leave a little to be desired, but what can one expect for free.
Cons
Free app, if you don't like it, delete it.
Summary
I check it once in a while for weather predictions.

"Best weather app I've used."
Version: YoWindow 3S build 141
Pros
Accurate & I like being able to see all my friends and relatives sub-standard weather as well.
Cons
I'd like it to be a bit easier to add your own picture and a 15 min or on demand refresh would be nice.
-

Cons
None to speak of.

So simple to use, why go elsewhere.
