• Doesn't unpack, TextEdit reads it fine. The OS doesn't

  Rev Dave JerniganMarch 5, 2011

  Pros

  It was a fast, albeit fruitless download

  Cons

  Other than taking up time and space, adding to my frustration level with CNET and mislabeled software. I gained nothing from this experiment with futility

  Summary

  CNET needs to do a better job of vetting software. They might even have to hire a few more people. I certainly would not upgrade to techtracker plus after experiences like this. weather.gov it is unless I see lots of positive user comments before I download. Then there is the developer of this software. Innocent of misdoing? I don't know. I will be leery of downloading anything else from them. OS does matter, I am using 10.6.6. Perhaps it works well in older OSs.

• This product DOESN'T WORK

  nystral djoMay 10, 2005

  Pros

  Downloaded quickly?

  Cons

  This product DOESN'T WORK. I downloaded it, double clicked on it, and everything seemed to unstuff and open fine. But then I clicked on File > New Window > Current Conditions, and the program QUIT with no warning. I figured, Hmm, my fault, let's try it again. Again, the same thing happened. After the third try, this product went in the trash!

• Surprisingly easy to use and understand

  January 23, 2005

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  OSX uses this product quite easily, though being it is not an OSX product, it may quit without warning occasionally (no more or less than any other non-mac product though). It is a very simple, attractive program, it has a good list of areas to gather weather information from, and it has a very good "preferences" format so you can set it up the way you like it. As an amateur, I recommend this product.

• Works fine on current systems

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm wagering that my review might get some a bit miffed . . On OS X this application runs fine, all the features work and it displays properly on all my OS X machines. If there is any complaint it's the rather slow rate of updates. For all it's quirks*, OS 9 is dead, dead, dead I TELL YOU! ==D E A D== It's time to move on :) *I miss some of the aspects of 9 and earlier, which I expect will eventually get added back into OS X

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  The software slaps a little non-intrusive box in your dock. Works best with animation turned on.

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I just downloaded the latest version on my G4 TiPB 800Mhz running OSX 10.3.4 Runs great. Overall I rate this 5 stars. Totally easy to install and update. So easy that I haven't had to use the support/documentation. Features are great, I would only like to see Forecasts. Quality is great and so far the stability is great also. And PRICE! Heck it is FREE! What's not to like. Great job guys! Peace, Chris.
