Is anyone out there tired
- Dave, I did not even mention the home screen icon, except for when we were stuck with .320. Then it did not update with conditions, so the wall paper function was a great work around.
Anyway, I had weather bug. It was a nice app, and yes I could see the conditions on the home screen now that I am not on the .320 OS. More importantly, my BB locks quickly (IT policy), but with BerryWeather I can see the temp w/o unlocking. I do not know of a free weather program that gave me that functionality.
BerryWeather is very pretty and snappy too. I prefer its interface and speed to the other freebies I tried, and decided the additional features above their free program were worth the $5. I cannot lie, I hemmed and hawed a lot before I laid out the cash, but in the end I was tired of wanting a few features I did not have and broke down.06-02-10 04:37 PMLike 0 - I love BerryWeather...I don't care if I had to pay for it!
Seriously though, people pay $5 for a cup of coffee that lasts about 10 minutes!Last edited by ChuckH0308; 06-02-10 at 04:41 PM. Reason: oops!

I use BerryWeather a lot, and the pay version comes with a high level of customization and additional options that I find very useful. I have gotten more out of the $5 than many other places I have wasted same amount.
I do not buy many apps, but I have to say I am happy with each of the BellShare apps that I have. They make my BB experience better, and the apps are well made so they don't glitch.

While I was on .320, the home screen wall paper was a huge win since the icons did not update. Love being able to just look at my screen and see current conditions. Also, the GPS integration is nice because I always have the most local weather station's data particularly when traveling locally.
Many of the other things I like are available if you go to the web, but in BerryWeather they are available without any load time and as up to date as I would want them to be.
Temperature icon in my BB alerts (can see temp when locked)
Customizable weather advisories
7 day forecast
Detailed hourly forecasts (7-12 hrs)
Several locations always up-to-date with a flick of my finger
Built in radar
Anyway, those made it worth it to me.06-02-10 07:53 PMLike 0 - OK. I still think that it's insane to pay $10 for weather. Especially considering, correct me if I'm wrong, they once issued an upgrade and charged everone $4 for it. Meaning that there are people running around here who have actually paid $14 for weather!06-02-10 08:19 PMLike 0

- How is spending $14 bucks on an app any different than spending $20 or more at Applebee's, Hooters or any other place that requires you to digest then sh*t out your purchase, at least with this I still have something to show for.
Sorry to sound so crass, but it's true.06-03-10 07:26 AMLike 0 -

- Call me crazy, but I think the developers deserve some kind of reimbursement for their massive amount of time, knowledge and resources to give us programs we want. If you don't want it, don't buy it...
Yeah I paid $5 bucks for my beweather, but it looks great, works great, and its faster than accessing any browser... And yes, the 5 bucks was worth the couple extra features that the free one doesnt have.06-03-10 12:04 PMLike 0 - Yes it pulls about 25 different advisories. You can select which you want to be notified about, and pick a few different ways to be notified.
Any severe weather advisories place a badge on the icon to let you know. One click and you can see the full advisory.06-03-10 12:09 PMLike 0 - Call me crazy, but I think the developers deserve some kind of reimbursement for their massive amount of time, knowledge and resources to give us programs we want.

Pin: straight? wrestling? push? lapel? just in case you were looking for a couple more.06-03-10 12:14 PMLike 0 - Call me crazy, but I think the developers deserve some kind of reimbursement for their massive amount of time, knowledge and resources to give us programs we want.

(AAMOF, I've read of numerous reports that free versions of an app work fine, yet the paid app is very buggy)06-03-10 01:47 PMLike 0 -
