Weather Exchange for Windows

• Worthless purchase

  whitedove_iwjJanuary 14, 2013

  Pros

  May be a fun product

  Cons

  Company offering product is double minded. After you pay for the software the person wants more money - I had my inbox full of emails to upgrade to have it longer.

  Summary

  I prefer not to deal with the people who offer this product. At first it was free then the owner became greedy. They can keep it.

• Improper grammar w/ high or low- It's not highs or lows

  DLakstinsDecember 5, 2011

  Pros

  I found the content to be accurate and it's excellent to be able to get a visual through the various webcams.

  Cons

  Improper grammar can be disconcerting when you observe growing children exposed to it. This is especially true when it comes to the high or low of the day. It is true; that if one was referring to all the of the cites of a given area it may be proper to say we'll have a variety of highs and lows. However a person is stating only one tempereture for a city and surrounding areas, there is only one high or low (not highs or lows) being stated for or in that given place.

  Summary

  I suggest if you use this source for your media outlet, that you inform your announcers or editors to make the correction before publishing. As a consequence we won't have to cringe to an announcer or hear a child say "we're going to have a HIGHS near 40 today!" Aaugh!

• Gives me weather for a specific neighborhood

  trlambJune 30, 2011

  Pros

  1. My setup has it launching at startup with the program hidden, which puts my local weather in my taskbar. I like that place better than on my desktop. 2. I get no warning messages from PC Matic, unlike when I used The Weather Channel's desktop.

  Cons

  None so far.

  Summary

  I subscribe to Weather Underground, so I was happy to find a way to put personal weather station info in my taskbar.

• Excellent desktop weather product

  productreviewerJune 5, 2011

  Pros

  Comprehensive interface. Easy to use. Many easy to understand features. Browser independent. Delivers the goods, and it's free.

  Cons

  None so far.

  Summary

  Immediately after installing Weather Exchange, I liked it better than The Weather Channel Desktop, which I had been using for years and which continually had one problem after another, including regular Internet Explorer scripting errors and not being able to start up on occasion. The Weather Channel Desktop also annoyingly issues almost daily the same cell phone usage survey over and over and over and over and over again. The big plus is that Weather Exchange is associated with Weather Underground, which is far superior to The Weather Channel.

• Easy to use just put in the zip code or city

  spider711December 25, 2010

  Pros

  Shows current and past readings for the area with links to weather underground.

  Cons

  Daily highs and lows are not shown for temperature only records. Total rainfall is not shown only rainfall rate.

  Summary

  Can't get a batter program for the price!

• Good, but v1.30 is available

  skrapshakJune 15, 2010

  Pros

  Great for local conditions. There is a weather station less than a mile from my house.

  Cons

  The GUI is a little cluttered, and it is ad supported.

  Summary

  I think that this is a great desktop weather application. It gives you access to local Personal Weather Stations. You can check the local and national radars. With a click, it will take you to the Weather Underground website for a more detailed forecast for your area.

• Very Handy

  hortnutFebruary 23, 2010

  Pros

  Live in area of PNW Metro Area where w/in 20 miles there can be many different conditions going on- due to elevation, wind patterns, water etc. Can set up to monitor these various locations at one time and see realtime what is going on.

  Cons

  Sometimes it will not refresh properly.

  Summary

  Worth it and great to play around with. Prefer it over Weather Bug.
