Great app, I will be looking forward to it when BB10 launches. Will it be free or a paid app?

**SCrid2000** · 01-08-2013, 01:35 PM

Looks very good!
Looks mostly done too, will it be in App World soon?

**mappau-dev** · 01-08-2013, 01:55 PM

it will be available on launch
@price: at the moment we are not sure, if it will be free or paid.

**vasilisiou** · 01-09-2013, 03:24 AM

Great looking app! I will be looking forward to it too...!

**JerBru** · 01-09-2013, 09:38 PM

Looks good.
Prefer paid.
Yep, you get what you pay for

**SEAWARRIOR** · 01-09-2013, 09:49 PM

how will it be better than the native weather???

**mappau-dev** · 01-10-2013, 01:24 AM

i do not know the native app on bb10, so i can not really compare it.
our application can identify your positon and show the weather for it. additionally we have build in maps focused on your position with a lot of different layers.
it is also possibile to use the application as a world clock. at the moment we are working on social integration (bbm connect).

i hope its free looks insaneeeeee

**jimpilot** · 01-10-2013, 02:16 PM

Looks good.

**ubizmo** · 01-11-2013, 08:55 AM

If it's free but with ads, I hope you will consider an ad-free paid version.

I actually wish RIM would make that a rule for App World: Adware is okay but paid ad-free versions must be available.

I gotta agree

**ingeniumed** · 01-12-2013, 08:54 AM

Looking great especially the dark theme which goes along quite well with the overall UI. I hope you make it paid at a reasonable price as opposed to a free version with ads. Would gladly pay for such an app!

**DJM626** · 01-12-2013, 09:15 AM

Looking Good! I am sure this will be the only one that I use. I can't imagine a more thorough or complete weather app for Z10

**zombie73** · 01-12-2013, 09:24 AM

looks good. ....and thanks for posting many different screen shots. nice to see. I will check it out.

**robluck82** · 01-12-2013, 10:09 AM

man, that looks great, keep up the great work!

and yes, please make an ad-free paid version if you decide to go ad-supported initially. ads annoy me

**koperniczx3** · 01-14-2013, 11:05 AM

Looks really good, simple. Exactly what I'll need

**cjterminator** · 01-14-2013, 03:43 PM

Looks great but do name it some Unique, Weather is too generic I guess

**mappau-dev** · 01-15-2013, 02:32 AM

We are working hard an the new version with BBm integration and some other features.
paid vs ads: at the moment we prefer paid < 2$
@name: the name "weather" is just a working title.

**lcjr** · 01-15-2013, 09:30 AM

i don't think this is anything special, unless it looks different on your device. There's already more sophisticated weather apps out there that show what the weather actually looks like with all this data as well. meaning, if it's raining outside, you see the area your checking and see it raining there, plus the weather data. This app is just another plain Jane attempt to say "another app".
