thats bs, why are all the iphone apps free? why would i pay for weather when all i have to do is look outside?
If you fish or hunt, having a Lightning alert can be life-saving... It also provides tornado, hurricane, etc watches and warnings along with forecasts of coming weather. It allows me to pick and change locations for when I'm away from home.
I use pay for MyCast Weather on my VZW Moto W385 and look forward for a weather app when I get my Storm.
Actually, it's $4.33 per month. It says it's $12.99 for 3 months on the website.
I'm just saying...
Anyway, it's definitely not worth it for me. I can't imagine many of us needing live doppler radar on the go. As long as I know the temperature and local conditions (rain, wind, etc.), I'm good...Weatherbug app provides that.

Since when is someone outside fishing and they are unaware that lightning is occurring all around them?
I look forward to a free, low resource weather app that shows the temperature, hi-low and 1 sentence forecast on my home screen. That's all! No doppler radar. No stupid web cams. No temperature to the 100th decimal place.
...and to make matters worse, they are not even accurate for my area.
Only Weather Underground seems to listen when I email them.
All the rest are just plain wrong. Accuweather, Weatherbug, Weather Channel, etc, all use the airport weather in a town on the other side of an 8000 ft mountain that is 2000 ft higher in elevation, so of course it is incorrect.
$4 / month for bad data? ha!
and its not fair. they are going to make us storm owners pay for the weather channel app but if you have a gphone it is free, video, radar, etc is all there and it is completly free. what the heck is that..
Totally lame. Give me a stripped down WeatherBug alternative for free and a 4-5 dollar (one time fee) option for everything else and I'll consider it. Weather.com is pretty good, and worth paying...but not monthly.
Not to mention think about how many people would actually buy this if it was only one time....they'd make a killing IMO.
Hopefully when the app store hits there will be plenty of free weather apps.

true that! I am w/ a lot of you, I'm not paying no $4 A MONTH for it to tell me what the weather is like. weatherbug works fine for me and doesn't seem to drain my battery or I could go to weather.com and just look it up
