I got weather eye but there seems no way to update it on demand. I just want something that I can update when I want and also view hourly and week view. Just the basics but I want to hit update whenever I want.
It's not free, but BerryWeather (might be called BEWeather or something now because of a trademark thing). It's in the app store. I really like it. I don't have it running all the time; I just open it up and update when I feel like I need to know the weather for work (I work outside and live 40 miles away). I have 5 locations in it right now. It's a nice program; very customizeable and no memory leak on my phone.
Whenever you open Weathereye it will update automatically (or at least it does for me). I don't see a point in paying for something which is available for free (unless you're a newscaster, then I understand your need for serious weather updates)
Weatherbug -- slow, kills batt, kills mem, poor interface, ads, great detailed info, radar, gps
Weathereye -- poor interface, not enough info for my tastes, slows down phone
Berryweather -- great interface, detailed info, lots of customizability, no mem leak (as far as i can tell compared to the previous two), no radar, no gps
berryweather costs a little, but its oh-so worth it. only gripe i have against it is that you have to reenter the activation code every time you install a new OS..which means I have to dig through my messages to find the code
with my experience with all of them, especially with wb and bw, i highly recommend shelling out a bit for bw. its worth it (download the trial first and see if you like it)

Exactly! Lack of memory leak being one of the biggest pros.
I have BBWeather & AccuWeather. Both are good & free. Accuweather is one of those apps that when you click on the icon, it launches the browser which is sometimes bothersome, but it is usually pretty accurate.

I downloaded berryweather, I'll use the trial for a while but it seems worth the 10 bucks. Thanks guys, would have never tried it without the recommendation.
