When you run BerryWeather, you need to define various parameters. Amongst these are the location of where you want the weather displayed and the frequency of when the program will use the network to retrieve new data. Since you can define quite a few places and town to display the weather, more data will be used the more locations you define.

Data access update periods are user defined from about 5 minutes to several hours. You can also tell the program not to access data between certain user definable times

The program will normally run in the backgound if you exit the program via the <Escape> key and will therefore access data according to its defined schedule. However if you always exit the program via Menu, Close then the program will no longer access data.

BerryWeather is very flexible and depending upon how you use it, it can access updates often, infrequently or on-demand only when run.

It will run in the background and updates it's self on the time you set for it to check. 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour etc... it uses very little data.

This is all true and like JM said there is not that much data use to really worry about.

Pete put it pretty well the way BW works and also a new feature now are push alerts/advisories for BIS only but the bottom line is that there is very little in BW that you cannot go into the settings and define for your own individual likeness especially like Pete mentioned about the hours not to update or what interval to update.

Learn this app and you will love it and it's customization.

It was my understanding that BerryWeather no longer stays running in the background like it used to in prior builds. Pressing the excape key closes the program, and it opens and updates based on the update timeframe that you have set in the application settings. In prior builds, you would press your app switcher and see the app open in the background, with the current builds the app no longer remains running.
