If you want to know what the weather is, the saying goes, look outside. MyFreeWeather allows users to do just that, without ever having to get up from their computers. This attractive weather program lets users view illustrated versions of the sky in their selected location, with both the time of day and weather accurately portrayed. With features typical of other weather software and the nifty sky graphics to boot, we think MyFreeWeather is a nice choice for a go-to weather program.

MyFreeWeather's interface is sleek and intuitive, with the sky illustration filling the upper third or so and a variety of other weather information displayed below. The current temperature, humidity, visibility, wind direction, wind speed, and five-day forecast are included. Information is provided by the Weather Channel, which we've found to be the most accurate online weather provider. MyFreeWeather also includes links to the Weather Channel's pollen, airport, and traffic reports. The program is easy to configure, with a simple settings menu that lets users add locations anywhere in the world and adjust how frequently the weather is updated. When the program is minimized it appears as an icon in the system tray, making it easy to access the weather report when you need it and keep it out of the way when you don't. The program has no Help file, but we didn't really feel that it needed one. Overall, we liked MyFreeWeather very much, and we have no major complaints.

MyFreeWeather is free. It installs a desktop icon without asking and leaves the icon and a folder behind upon removal. We recommend this program to all users.

Completely useless
ColdrakeApril 4, 2016
Pros
I love the GUI.
Cons
Not only can MyFreeWeather not find MY city, it can't find ANY city. I tried for several minutes typing in major cities from all over the world, Seattle, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Tokyo, etc, and it couldn't find a single one.
Summary
Weather software isn't much good if it can't tell you what the weather is. Deleted.
Sure looks good. Wish I could find a city
robertsinkMarch 5, 2016
Pros
Nice looking interface
Cons
It could not find my city. So I tried many around me and it couldn't find them either. So I tried Detroit, MI. It's gotta know about Detroit right? Wrong. Can't find that either. I have no idea what the weather is anywhere using this app.
Summary
Since it can't display weather if it can't find any cities, it's back to sticking my head out the window to check.
Poor customization,very limited locations
needtoknow1April 9, 2012
Pros
None-greatly inferior to other free weather products
Cons
Uninstalled immediately. Both the free Earth Alerts software and the Weather Watcher Live add-on for Firefox are much better: many localized reporting stations, etc.
Summary
Does what it needs to do
drfisheyeSeptember 29, 2011
Pros
Temperature visible in tray. Accurate and simple. Free.
Cons
The temperatue digits in the system tray are very small, it's barely readable.
Summary
Great when you want an effective free weather tool.
lousy customer support

NO ONLINE SUPPORT
Summary
I have yowindow- it has the wrong time zone for me. SEVERAL e-mails to them w/NO REPLY . SORRY HANDLERS w/ the way they treat there customers. be for warned.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 23, 2011<p/>review for YO WINDOW ONLY
I like it.
NEVEITTJuly 26, 2011
Pros
I had Weatherbug and it bugged the hell out of me. Although it had a lot of options, I had to force it to close everytime I turned off my laptop. The program only comes on when I click it and tells me what I want to know.
Cons
Can't think of any for whazrt I want.
Summary
This is just what the "Nev" want in a weather program, not a bunch of bells and whistles, just the weather with out any pestering.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Nov 18, 2011<p/>My old version quite working, so now I've downloaded the new one. As much as I like the old one the new as gone down hill. I quess in trying to keep up with the Jones they lost the simplitic beauty of what they had.
Perfect app!
moosishJune 12, 2011
Pros
Nice clear graphics when maximized; inconspicuous in system tray; all kinds of accurate weather info at a glance.
Cons
No cons at all.
Summary
EXACTLY what I was always looking for in a weather app! I can finally stop searching for the perfect weather app!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jun 12, 2011<p/>I just read some of the other reviews and wanted to add that I use Avast Anti-Virus, and it does not see this app as a virus, a trojan, or anything bad. I've been using it for about a month.
great idea

dougp3104March 2, 2011
Pros
I loaded this on because my Weather Channel desktop app stopped working.

Summary
I use this to compare the weather programs I have on my computer.
