National Real Time Weather Screen Saver for Windows

Used National Real Time Weather Screen Saver for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

This basic program flips among three weather maps of the United States that show an infrared view, current percipitation, and a 12-hour forecast. None of the maps are graphically impressive, and several of them only take up part of the screen, leaving a lot of real estate either blank or full of links to other weather-related sites. The screensaver has no settings, and you have to stay connected to the Internet or the program will display the same image all the time. You can click on various parts of the maps to zoom in or to launch a Web page displaying more detailed weather data, but once you've done so, you won't be able to navigate back to the original three maps. Despite its lack of features and rather rudimentary design, weather buffs may enjoy Real Time Weather Screen Saver.

Worse screen save ever. Absolutely Horrible.
AverageConsumerTXMarch 8, 2015
Pros
None. Nothing about this screen saver is good. It is the worse thing to install on your pc.
Cons
The screen saver consists of screen shots of different weather radars. These images are not only still images but they are NOT EVEN UPDATED! They are just .jpg images stored in the program. Plus they don't even fill up the entire screen. This by no means is a weather radar screensaver or was even made with the permission by the National Weather Association to us it's name. Absolute bullcrap DON'T DOWNLOAD.
Summary
Don't download this software. It is NOT at all a screensaver. Complete FAKE
Absolutely AWFUL! Waste of Time

Pros
It uninstalls quick
Cons
It's basically a web page with a bunch of links. What a total bunch of garbage. Sure the links are to places like NOAA, but the way it's laid out and the fact tht you have to interact with it, it just rediculous. I WANTED A SCREENSAVER! Not a webpage that I have to click all over. This is a complete wast of your time. I would NOT use this.
Summary
Crap, Not a Screensaver, Glad I didn't have to pay for it. UNINSTALLED PERMANENTLY!
Great Weather Tool for Professionals

Pros
In one minute get complete weather overview Updates quickly with latest images, code must be fixed. If one of the images has critical data, click right on image to get details.
Cons
Images are small for my screen, but its FREE. Would pay for larger images. Did not know it was interactive, need to stress that.
Summary
Bottom line, use it all the time for fast weather briefing. My computer now gives me information instead of having to click around the web saving me loads of time.
