The Weather Network App Reviews

Works on my MBA on both lion and mountain lion. Its a nice widget like interface, pretty simplistic. Ads arent shown unless you open the widget. It stays in the bar at the top and displays the current temp, which is all I really wanted. PRoblem is, activity monitor shows that this tiny thing is using up 14 threads and 200MB. Thats quite something for a tiny widget that basically tells me what the temp outside is...

dont really understand what good this App is if it is in C and not in F…..

Installed this app with some misgivings after reading a few reviews. It does what I want it to do - show current temperature and conditions for a few locations simultaneously. But… I could not enter a city/state/country and have it find the location. However, entering the zip code instead of the city name worked fine. The app resolved the zip to the correct town name, and that name is displayed for the temps showing on the status bar and at the top of the detailed forecast window. The option to display temperatures in fahrenheit rather than celsius does not work correctly. The temps show in F in the status bar and the "Today" tab of the detailed weather window, but after selecting any other tab, the temps go back to being in Celsius, even on the original "Today" tab. That is, until the window is closed and reopened, at which point were back to the "Today" tab in Fahrenheit. The 5 Day, Hourly, and 14 Day Trend tabs will never show the temps in F, only Celsius.

Just so you guys know, this app is designed for Canadian weather and not US. Thats why youre having so many issues with it.

The Temp keep switching back to Celcius. When I go into setting it said Imperial under units. then it will change it back to Farenheit but when I click on 5 days or hourly it will switch back to celcius again. I wish theres weatherbug version. Im glad this one is free.

The app couldnt even get my city correct when I was trying to set it up, and it insists on being a start-up item. No thanks.

I like the set up a lot however whenever I switch to a different listing of the weather other than "today" it switches the temperatures to the metric system instead of the imperial system.

The city and zip code locations are highly inaccurate. This app, although free, is not worth the time investment.

At first I loved this. Worked great. but recently after the update it has been bringing up two to four different windows of it on start and freezing up. then in the top bar it always has at least two icons. It also is freezing my computer frequently.

this is so much better than using Dashboard...would like to find a better widget for the doppler radar, this one is too light colored

It did not recognize my own zip code nor the closest two zip codes to my Chicago address. It associated my zip code with a suburban location and in Chicago that can mean night and day. Temperatures by the lake and away from the lake are vastly different and a city 20 miles away is not going to help my weather knowledge. At least it was free so I can dump it without further ado.

PUt the temp on the tool bar which is what I most water.

Well I downloaded this maybe two or three weeks ago. I JUST got it to open. Ive rebooted my laptop several times since download and never once has it opened when i clicked on it. The main disappoint was that I couldnt even remove the unsuable app after download. Now that its open and available, Ive tried playing with it to get it set up. I enter 4 locations and 4 separate windows pop up for each location. THIS SHOULD BE IN ONE WINDOW! You should update the program so that I have one window with a tab reading locations and when I click on that tab, it displays all the locations I saved and then I should be able to click on whatever location and the information should be viewed on THAT ONE PAGE…NOT FOUR DIFFERENT PAGES. My other main problem is that the current weather updates for each location shows up as 4 separate tabs on the head bar (cant think of correct name). It allows me to quit but then all four tabs close instead of solely closing the one tab I dont want up there. I would enjoy all the other features if these things were fixed but for now, Im downloading another weather app. Also, It didnt locate my town. It located the country club in it but not the town…why?

Im in the US, and I think this app does a good job of presenting relevant and accurate weather info for home users, in a variety of ways. Thats quite good for a free app! The ads are not too annoying. I got a good response from tech support in less than 24-hours, even though the problem resolved itself after I restarted my system (wrong date initially displayed for animated radar data). I looked at ALL the other apps listed for keywords "weather radar" and this is NOT the best one. However, ALL the better ones currently in the app store cost money. This free app does 90% of what I want. Its not a pro app; not for weather enthusiasts. I just want to know whether I need more firewood this week! I figured it would be good for temporary, but for my casual use—after testing it a few days—I think Ill just keep it and save my dollars for a game or…I dunno…actually paying for iWork someday. (still using the Trial for the third year running, holding out for an update with some sort of value…;)

This was a total waste of .99. Its always wrong, and always freezing on my computer. I really wish I knew how to uninstall this dang thing!!!

I think this app is absolutely not up to the standard. The developers need to work a lot on it.

It worked great in tracking 5 locales I wanted but when I upgraded to OS 10.7.5 it started crashing. Adobe Flash is having issues with it. The reports go in the fixes dont come out. Now effectively useless.

This program got stuck on the install. It continued to try to install for 30+ minutes before I did a cold shut down.

(In Mavericks) When trying to move the window it sticks to the cursor and won’t let go. Only way to release it is to kill the process. Just another POS app. Neato!!!

Running Mavericks, does not launch, why does any weather app need your date of birth? Uninstalling and never running again.
