What is the best weather app that works with the storm2? Any chance simple weather will work. I haven't tried any apps. Don't want to mess up my new storm.
IMO the push browser accuweather subscription is great. icon changes to show you the forecast for the day. doesnt drain your battery like regular apps.

Brilliant, are you using a paid version of accuweather or the free push version?
I just downloaded the free weatherbug app. It is showing the correct forecast and shows the Temp on my homescreen. Just what I was looking for at this point.

Simpleweather is a nice free app. All you have to do to set it up is to enter your zip code. BBWeather is also a nice free app, a few more options than Simpleweather, and a little harder to set up for some people.
When you say "wll it work" do you mean updating the home screen? The S2 will not update the home screen yet.
the best weather app i have used and still use is "Weather Eye" from the weather network but i believe its only canadian weather tho not sure if it does U.S.
I personally like weathereye. Haven't had any problems and in general the icon updates on my home screen. Sometimes I don't get the icon picture, but the weather words do update.

I did a lot of looking at free weather apps and have both weatherbug and weathereye but am split between them. IMO neither is completely perfect.
App itself: Weathereye is better. Its very easy to see current conditions and short & long term forecasts. Great layout.
Icon: Weatherbug is better. It has more info. The icon shows the predicted hi/lo temps for the day in addition to the current temp and condition. Weathereye doesn't do that, it just shows an icon, current temp, and one word description like "clear" or "cloudy" etc, which gets a little redundant. If it shows a pic of a cloud I don't need it to tell me its cloudy too.
Both have had occasional problems with the icon not updating the picture when in the home screen. The current temp always seems to be accurate but not the picture.
Right now I have weatherbug on my home screen so i can see the hi/lo, but still haven't made a final decision. I keep weathereye in my apps folder just in case.
berryweather is nice in every way except for the home screen not updating. Other than that, its a nice app with radar maps and the ability to view weather cams. Its pricy and not sure if its worth it, but I got it on sale for $4 so I'm not complaining
I have been using weather bug on my storm2 and thus far have had no issues with it at all. It seems to be accurate and updates every 15 min (that's what I have it set too) no issues with it here.
