    I am looking for a weather app that can give local temps and something that has a good weather radar. It would be nice if the radar would have motion. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I really like weatherbug as well, but I can never get the radar to work that well, or it's real slow.

    Isn't it really buggy though?

    Weatherbug works relatively well, but it made my Storm pretty laggy...

    Weathereye is a great one. It doesn't have radar, but its a very solid, free app. Doesn't seem to take up much memory either, which is a big plus.

    I think the first versions were pretty wonky, especially with the Storm's early OS's, but I have been really happy with it and have not noticed any major problems. I love just looking at my home screen and seeing the current temp and forecasted hi and lo for the day right in the icon. Don't even have to open it! One of the best looking apps for the Storm right now IMHO.

    That's cool. Where did you pick it up at?

    Viigo has a weather feed and doesn't have the memory leak and bug issues as Weather Bug. Plus it is has a bunch of other features...

    Weatherbug runs perfectly (with no "memory leak") as long as you disable the my location feature.

    Viigo is still clunky on the storm (with more than a few bugs)

    I too like the weather feed in Viigo, except Viigo seems to have a pretty big memory leak (I'm running a "private" beta) and it also doesn't show the icon on the main screen.

    check it out WeatherEye OTA

    Weatherbug is nice, but it does have problems. My phone goes to sleep in my Seidio holster, and every time I pull it out it says "Updating". I have to go into the app, change the screen from Weather Conditions to long-range forecast, before it will update.

    Even when the phone is out of the holster, I have to go through this same routine every time. Frankly, it's getting old. Hopefully, there will be an update soon.

    BTW, it does consume memory.

    Still running .75 on my Storm.

    Here's the more direct link. However, I uninstalled it right away. It's not very compatible with the Storm.

    check it out WeatherEye OTA

    I don't even use a weather app. (3rd party apps seem to give me grief. )
    I found a site I like that's fast and to the point. Go to NOAA, put in your zip, then once at your weather page it marks latitude and longitude. Bookmark that page. Next time you want weather just launch your browser, hit the bookmark, and you have instant current weather without all the ads and bloatware that overload a lot of other weather sites. Gives a nice 5 day summary with images, 7 day detailed forecast, any severe weather alerts, and local + national radar, including animated, etc.

    I do the same thing with Yahoo! Weather. Been using that for so long it's hard to transition

    So far weathereye is horribly incompatible with Storm ... it works OK on compatibility mode but if you disable it then none of the program features show up. Only the icon showing the weather on the icon list (similar to weatherbug) shows up.

    Weather-eye seems like a good app, hopefully they'll optimize it for the Storm in the next 6 months-1 year.

    I've got news for you: you do not get current weather on that site. I've used it for years, and it updates hourly. Right under current conditions, you should see something similar to this...

    WB has no issues now. Just disable to location on startup and it works quite fast.

    The only change I would like is for the home screen ICON to show current temp instead of HI/LO forecast.

    You may want to check YOUR sources. I've had WeatherBug since it was first released in Beta. It has been a journey, but the final release that is out is definitely stable and no significant memory leaks.
