Have been using WeatherEye and not minding the ads in there. Gladly looking forward to trying this and seeing how it works......

Thanks WC!

Ok...watch out.....

If you go to BB App world, there's the Pay version and the ol' Mobile Web link thing. Didn't see a "free"/full version.

Went to the OTA link for the Tour and it says it is Version 1. That's probably right as it is the first version of the full/free version. But that was confusing given that the Paid version is up to V2.

Does the homes creen icon update in any of the 5.0 OSes?

 
 
Posted by trees247 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

I had it great app, just don't have the weather icon on your home screen

 
 
Posted by UrbanNewz Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

The app is clean but the lack of a home screen update is not what's up!

 
 
Posted by jlb21 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Agreed on not having home screen icon. Also, in the menu it says there is a version 4.1 available, but I don't see any way to update.

Removing. Back to WeatherEye.

Oh, and not having a white outline highlight when the Icon is selected......yuck.

with home screen icon that updates.

Does it require blackberry maps to be installed?

 
 
Posted by bapold Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Navigation is a little clunky...too much BLUE!! Also, is it me or is the home screen icon blurry? Not impressed...back to BB weather where it draws from the same weather channel info and gives temp on home screen icon.

Weather Bug > Weather Channel

 
 
Posted by amirnabilkamelsaad Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

I don't know if any other weather app beats weather bug, it's got the most info you will ever need. A bit complicated for first timers but full of features, like how to add a new location and navigate between them, how to use the maps and the overlays, watch free weather video, extended forecast and more.

doesn't 2.3MB seem kinda big?

 
 
Posted by Barack_Oberry Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Don't bother

 
 
Posted by granadzo Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Does anyone know if supports multiple cities?

 
 
Posted by mike340t Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

2.3 is huge

 
 
Posted by blak8830 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

shouldn't be 2+ MB for something like this.
The Weather component in Viigo works for me, or links to local news channels

 
 
Posted by CeluGeek Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Text size is waaay too small and there is no option to make the font larger. I'm a fan of TWC but this app is useless!

 
 
Posted by SushiGuy732 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

WOW That is a HEAVY app!

 
 
Posted by Tony Bag O Donuts Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

works for me...

 
 
Posted by derande Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

i can't see any other weather app (pay or free) making me change from Berry Weather.

 
 
Posted by jetman1287 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Great idea weather.com, but unfortunately for BB any app bigger than 1 MB is too large.

I was willing to try the app but have too many other pieces of software and 2.3MB for an app is insane. Not really your fault, BB needs to fix this problem.

 
 
Posted by Ev0lv3 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

over bloated POS.

Freezes my 8900 when I try to uninstall. Dont want this crap on my phone! gr.

 
 
Posted by zabooza Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

BBWeather is almost the same thing, no?

 
 
Posted by jimbl Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Not much good to be said about it yet. I'll stick with Weather Eye for now.

 
 
Posted by Methalius Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

I don't know what other Storm owners have found but I found this app to be a complete memory hog. It dropped my memory to hovering around 30 down to 24 from the start up down to 19 an hour later. It was nice but I deleted it. I'm eager to see what others have found

 
 
Posted by username0001 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Removing mine now. too big and not being able to have it as a weather icon on the homescreen is a definite deal breaker...

 
 
Posted by bastard4life Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Garbage! Uninstalling now.

Posted by metreece Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

I was considering but didn't know if it had up to date radar screen?? Then reading the comments and size decided to stick with Weather Undergound bookmarked at http://m.wund.com

It is free and occupies no space, provides radar( including zoom) and is easy to check other locations at the bottom of the page.

 
 
Posted by AQucsaiJr Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

does not seem to really be designed for Storm. I am having troubles with it. It could be just me but it is a bit sluggish and some buttons don't click all the time.

 
 
Posted by cyryau Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Doesn't appear to work on OS5 230

 
 
Posted by cyryau Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Correction: works if you enable compatibility mode. However, the interface isn't as intuitive at first and only works in portrait mode

 
 
Posted by slipsibm Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Is this better than Weatherbug?

 
 
Posted by tonyshep Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

At almost 2MB I don't want to give up valuable memory for a weather program that does little better than Blackberry Weather, free or otherwise.

 
 
Posted by Pointnino Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

I looked at this one, and first off... it's WAY too big. Good call. Second, no desktop icon? Yeah, no thanks. I did check out WeatherEye in the BB App Store, and it's EXACTLY what I've been looking for. No maps, but I get GREAT Doppler and animated maps through my local news mobile site. I'm good to go now!

 
 
Posted by Teddyp6 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

BBWeather is better than this app.

Regarding the Weather Channel app, I like the radar map detail but the interface is very slow. I ended up using Mycast and Berry Weather..... both have a one time purchase price, not a recurring monthly or annual charge like the weather channel app had. Berry Weather is GPS enabled and will alert you to weather advisories as well as display temperature on the home icon. I like Mycast due to the cloud, radar, infarded and advisory maps as well as a great interface.

 
 
Posted by YourEntreeSolution Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

its over 2MB!!!

 
 
Posted by StreetDocRN Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Hi, all,
This was a major waste of time. First, poor interface and colors (or lack of) have too much blue. Second, there is no home screen icon for temp and condition. Last, it took up too much room. Although I have a Tour with plenty of space, I thought this was a waste of space. The only good thing was this was free. The Weather Channel is the authority on weather, but not on apps. The free Weatherbug app beats it hands down. On scale of 1-5 stars, 5 being best, I give it 1 star because it was free.

The advertising doesn't even bother me. Great app! Awesome radar and wonderful hour by hour forecast! Job well done!

 
 
Posted by themrodc Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

have to give it a go and see if I like it

 
 
Posted by hurricane89 Tuesday, Oct 13, 2009 851 days ago

Icon need to be changed. Can't tell when icon is highligted. There's no white outline or anything.

Run-Don't walk away from this software. After downloading and installing, it wouldn't run. I tried to delete it and when I did it rebooted my phone. When the phone rebooted, it gave me a 552 error. Stay away from this app!!!

 
 
Posted by Love.My.Bold Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 851 days ago

With so many weather apps that show the weather icon on
home screen, that updates, that are free you would think
that the developers would take what was good and worked
about those other apps and try to improve from there. Hmmm..
I'm uninstalling as well...

 
 
Posted by Stelladel Wednesday, Oct 14, 2009 850 days ago

Obviously there are no other Blackberry users in the world (Except North America) so why bother making it a global weather app. Thanks - yet again Crackberry for not specifiying this and wasting minutes of my precious time!!!!

That's to bad i just got berryweather on Friday when it was 50% off.

Still waiting for a GPS enabled, animated, zoomable realtime radar map/satellite overlay similar to the Bing Radar on TWC's website.
