I was wondering what everyone uses as a weather app on their 8330? I have had both my weather lite and weather eye but didn't really like them. I saw one that actually had the current tempature on the home screen below the battery bar, but don't know what its called. I was also wondering if there is a free weather app that shows the current radar? I know some of the weather apps have radars, but they cost money. anyone know where to find one?
I use Weather Bug. Keeps current temp on the screen. Flashes red when Sever Weather Alert and there is a fairly accurate radar you can view (and animate).
Most accurate forecast comes from NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as all the other "weather sites" use NOAA's weather data and then "run it through their own proprietary weather models" to post on their sites.
I tried the free trial for Berry Weather and it was the absolute best, but I didn't buy the full version. I would love to get this app for free or even $5 any suggestions!!!

Not possible to get it for free unless you won it in a contest. Wait a while and the price may drop.
The weather channel tries to get you to pay monthly for their app. That is the stupidest thing ever. Weather is free virtually everywhere. I mean theres so many ways to get the weather it's insane. who would pay for their app each month?
Agree all the way, then again I've tried pretty much all of them and the new BB Weather 1.5 is simply great, is like $10.00 -one time fee, no montly anything, for that money you can barely get a six pack of beers nowdays....LOL
What I like about weatherbug is it alerts you and the LED light goes off Like a new text message when you get severe weather alerts. It's usually right.
And also without loading the app it shows the temp. Just by looking at the icon on the home screen. The icon has the temp in it. So, I can tell the temp outside within one second. Without logging online and doing all of that.
I have Weatherbug on my PC but cannot, for some reason, find the free download for my Curve. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but if someone can help me, I'd appreciate it.
I use berryweather and love it! I used to use weatherbug but every couple days or so the temp on the icon would freeze up and id have to uninstall than reinstall it. Berryweather does everything and its much better. def worth the price when u see how nice it looks and what u can do with it.
BBWeather is the best on device app, and it's free. Accuweather BB push is nice, but it's a web shortcut.
So is WeatherBug, apparently. I just installed it and it opens up the BB browser when you click on the icon.
I would like an app that has these features:
-an application, not browser push
-show the current temp/weather either on the icon or when the icon is highlighted
-access to radar, with animate
-free or cheap, definitely not monthly/yearly service fee
-detailed written forecast
-storm details
Extra perks:
-utilize gps and give me all info based on my current location
If this app exists, I have yet to find it.
