WX Apps
« on: December 28, 2011, 10:32:47 PM »
I bought a iphone and wanted to download a good weather app. With so many out there, what is the best bet? I will only use one weather app which is pretty much all i need for that. I've enjoyed useing Accuweather.com and weather bug. Not a big fan of weather.com/TWC but for only their TV station for local 8's. Any good apps? Small memory space and ease of use and good user interface would be a must Thanks.
Thanks.

I have an Android so I don't too many but I do know Radarscope is very popular with the Iphone crowd. It just recently came to Android with great reviews.

For viewing weather models (including simulated future radar), I've heard from many people that WeatherGeek PRO is really good.

Doug FWIW you might want to try making your own links for the local weather. I have several weather apps I DL but I very rarely use them. I made radar links from GR3 and Nexrad3. Satellite images you can make your own here. http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/GOES/
As for local conditions WU has an Iphone page to access your data you send to them, and  weather forecast's are available everywhere.
Just a thought.
