• Good, basic info for one city at a time

  Rev Dave JerniganMarch 5, 2011

  Pros

  Good, basic info for one city at a time It is worth the price, $0.

  Cons

  It is a widget Only displays results for one city at a time.

  Summary

  In a time when our phone can give us multiple cities to chose from for time and weather, why not a dashboard widget or app that will display the prime city and several alternates? If WeatherPop (RIP) could do it, why not others?

• Corrupts too easily

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'd really like to like this widget, but it's just too unstable. I like the way it can find independent weather stations, though the forcasts appear to still come from "official" weather stations. My biggest problem is that this widget can rarely survive a computer restart without losing its settings, and the settings cannot be restored because something in the plist file or the widget itself gets corrupted. I don't want to have to delete all traces and reinstall this thing just to get it working again.

• Very good, with one tiny \"but\"

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Widget is excellent, gives more information than the Apple-supplied alternative. But: What's with the so-called "photo feed"? Why does a *weather* widget also need to download a whole bevy of unrelated images of "pets", "natural disasters", "wild animals", "windmills" and, yes, random past weather events -- which get optionally displayed in a tiny window below the weather, to boot. Click on them, and you can see them full-size in your browser. Harmless, I guess, but definitely a bit odd.
