Animated Weather HD for BlackBerry PlayBook
Animated Weather HD for BlackBerry PlayBook03-16-12 11:16 AMLike 0 - I bought it and tried it. Its nothing super grand , the background changes , looks nice , however it did have a problem finding cities.
For example , it found Ottawa , Ontario , Canada , but wouldn't find Truro , Nova Scotia ,Canada , or Halifax , Nova Scotia Canada. So if they fix their database of cities , it might be worth it.03-16-12 01:56 PMLike 0 - I bought it and tried it.

I also bought this app, it finds Vancouver,BC and also it finds Truro,Canada and Halifax,Canda (both from Nova Scotia) - in the latest update you can also see the city located on the weather map.
It gets updated often and the developer answered quickly to my question.
It has a really nice interface and I think it deserves the money.04-23-12 09:07 AMLike 0 - I think it is a great app. I have it on my Torch works good, (although the radar frame set cannot go beyond 6 frames on the phone).
On the PB, work great, looks good, no issues loading cities from California to Alaska, and yes, even some Canadian locales.
The start-up is a tiny bit clunky, takes a few seconds to fire up ( you may have to hit the "force" button when starting the app, but once its running, its pretty and functional.
A few people here at work have seen it and were interested (i've "sold" 5 people on the PB setup, Phone + Playbook = HAPPY CAMPERS!!!!!!!!
"Try it, you'll like it" (with apologies to Alka Selzer..........)

- In case you haven't noticed... there is a nice update to application, they added voice!
Now it speaks the temperature and weather conditions .
I'm amazed by the quality of the voice, at first I thought that it must be some weird text-to-speech system, but it's not, actually, quality concerned, it's on par with my IPhone 4s Siri, although they have a male voice .

They have a version for the phone. Been out for a couple of years, and its solid and stable. On your phone, go to App World on your PHONE and you will see it.
HOWEVER:
It does not have the animated HD backgrounds, but the same funtionability. You can add up to 10 cities, and check radar (it says you can get up to 10 frames of weather radar, BUT it only goes to 6 frames. I have pinged them with this bug/issue, have not heard back.
You can plug in your own weather radar URL into it and that will work.

Let me know where you found it, I would appreciate it.
THx,
C05-11-12 02:49 PMLike 0 - This is available for the PlayBook version - I think there is a coincidence of name, Animated Weather HD (developed by Andrei Avram) is available for PlayBook only (although a version for phone is coming soon, according to developer).
To enable voice on this app, Animated Weather HD for PlayBook, there is no special setting needed to be made, just download the application if you don't have it or open it if you have it already(be sure to have the latest version).
Every time you switch between cities or every 15 minutes (you can change this interval setting from the settings page) it will read aloud the weather .
The best way to "test the voice" is to add another city (if you have just one) and switch between them(in the vertical list, from the right).
Please let me know if you managed to make it work.05-11-12 03:56 PMLike 0 - Animated Weather HD + Voice is a new Weather App designed specifically for the PlayBook. I just purchased it on sale from BlackBerry App World and I already love it. It has a really nice look and feel and it loads fast. Plus I've learned that there are several enhancements coming soon that will certainly make this the BEST weather app that I've tested on my PlayBook. The best part is that the application developer (Andrei) welcomes suggestions for improvement. So with a little input from the CrackBerry Nation we can help mold it into one kicka$$ application.05-12-12 07:37 PMLike 0
- Many people like nice interfaces for applications. If you don't like the interval of time between changing of backgrounds, you should send an email to developer, he is very open to suggestions. I've sent him an email and in the next update, my suggestion got implemented .
I think we should support developers as much as we can, not trowing rocks at them and killing their sales with more or less subjective opinions. Good PlayBook developers are few, and even fewer are those who create quality apps, update them constantly and also listen to user suggestions... let's treat them nicely, shall we?05-13-12 11:50 AMLike 0 -
If this works please let me know, I'll buy it
