What's New

Version 2.1:

Moved the play/pause button for the map out onto the map (lower left corner).
Pressing the spacebar will now play/pause the map.
Moved the location info panel into a new location inspector HUD.
Several new locations and corrections worldwide.
Updated old US time zones to the appropriately named new ones.
Spaced the graphs apart a little bit more so they are easier to distinguish.
Made the weather database update code much more reliable.
Fixed a bug where the app would wipe out configured locations if the app quit before completing the initial setup.
Fixed an incompatibility with the nVidia 7300 and 7600 graphics cards.
Fixed a bug causing the current conditions wind direction arrow to be drawn in the wrong direction.
Fixed a bug where resizing the window to be really small and then back would mess up the graph display.
Fixed a bug where localized decimals were not being accepted in latitude/longitude fields.
Fixed a bug causing the last updated string to be updated every minute instead of just during an update.

I have been using Seasonality for a couple of year and this latest upgrade (Core 2.0) is absolutely beautiful. The interface is even more refined than in previous versions and the ability to expand the graphs and map windows is certainly a welcomed improvement. Another definite improvement is the current condition bar at the top of the screen. There are a lot of weather related programs and website out there but none is as elegant as Seasonality.

The UI in v 1.6 is maybe nice on iPad, but is not as easy readable on Mac as it was with previous versions (pictured above). The temperature graph is not showing different colors for hot, average and cold temps, the info in the locations sidebar is also less extensive compared to previous versions.
I don't know about others but I don't really like the UI in 1.6......

Graph still shows the temp as the top of the coloured curve -- the black line is still there --- as is the optional red line. The high and low of the entire graph are still shown as red and blue asterisks. Yea, the curve is monochromatic now, instead of transitioning at 40ish and 60ish (if that ever meant anything).

The icons are simpler, there is less English text, and the whole thing is dark now. It seems we have lost a bit of "pretty" and gained a bit of non-English functionality. Expanding customer base perhaps?

Gaucho Software (developer) replied on 06 Oct 2011

Check out version 2. I've spent a lot of time making improvements in readability, brought back the color gradient in the temperature graph, and just cleaned up the UI overall.

Andrewm8 replied on 11 Oct 2011

Yup, it's quite better looking than 1.6, although it will take some time to get used to it after the original.

The question though - after upgrading to 1.6 I have downgraded back to 1.5.3. Now if I want a free upgrade to 2.0 do I have to upgrade first to 1.6, or can I do it straight from 1.5.2 to 2.0?

Mikepj replied on 11 Oct 2011

You can upgrade straight from 1.5.2 to 2.0. The first time you open Seasonality Core 2, it will upgrade your database. This can take a long time, so please let it finish. Subsequent launches will be immediate as usual. The database upgrade will still leave your old database there, so if you want to go back to version 1.x you will be able to.

An extremely visually appealing and beautifully rendered weather app; has just about everything I could wish for with the exception of precipitation/snow readouts-graphs. Hopefully that will come with the next version.
The developer is working on version 2 now, I believe.
Anyway two thumbs up for this lovely creation!!

One year on… still waiting for version 2. Doubt it will ever arrive.

Mikepj replied on 06 Oct 2011

Seasonality Core 2 has been a long time coming. I had a few false starts, where I worked on an app for months on end, only to find that the update really didn't work as well and scrapped it to start again. This latest update turned out really nice (in my biased opinion). I hope everyone else likes it as much as I do.

Harv commented on 27 Oct 2009

What I think this app needs is precipitation data, how much rain or snow in the last 24 hours, projected rain/snow fall (in inches or centimeters), etc. And if an average line can be added, so much the better

When these data are added (or even promised by the developer) I'm good to go.

Hands down, the best overall weather program. We used it as a display and it was always getting comments like, wow, that is cool; or how'd you make the weather look so good. Yes, it is payware, but it is worth it. You get what you pay for.

The only thing missing is a screensaver functionality, but maybe some day.

Seemingly good app, but where is the world support and too expensive! Try Meteorologist (free) or even Tiger's Weather Widgets.

good effort for version 1.0. I echo the need for worldwide coverage and do wonder at the 2x help menu. Not as detailed as WeathermanX but covers and displays the essentials better.

Requests: For those of us that need to enter many cities but only need to see a few at a time, (frequent travelers) - would it be possible to toggle off the display of the entire list and only show a few as needed? Alternatively a drop-down menu of "my cities" would be good. Either would be much better than scrolling through 20-30 cities to find the one needed. - How about a 5 day extended forecast?
thx

Thanks for your comments.

I'll look into a method to display subsets of cities. I monitor 5 or 6 cities here and can imagine monitoring 20-30 cities would take awhile to find the location you are looking for.

I'm a little confused about your request for a 5 day extended forecast. Are you referring to 5 days past the current 7 day forecast? Seasonality will show a 7 day forecast, but only shows as many days as will fit in the window size, so your window may not be wide enough to show the full 7 days. I'm hoping to add a scrolling mechanism to that view in a future version.

Of course you can keep track of the weather in your home town but ONLY if your home town is in the U.S. And the rest of the world? Don't we exist? That said it seems comprehensive, though it's large compared to the wee menu bar apps that are very fashionable right now.

Can you broaden your horizons? There's more to the world than the U.S.A.

I understand your frustrations. Support for locations outside the US is a very high priority, but unfortunately wasn't able to be included in this release because of time constraints. It has been extremely difficult to find data sources with the variety of data that Seasonality displays for locations outside the US. It is something that's being worked on though and I'm hoping to include international support in the next version.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Anonymous commented on 21 Mar 2005

Whoa man, sounds like a little USA envy or something. I'm sure if you inquire properly the developer would consider your request, and since this is a 1.0 release, I am sure that it is probably safe for the developer to work in an area he knows the best, then expand capabilities based on feedback.

Anonymous commented on 14 Apr 2005

The complaint about forecasts only being in the U.S. may be based upon ignorance. The app probably ties into the national weather service, which is extensive. Finding other services worldwide would be a major undertaking, if they exist. The writer assumes that Europe is the next logical choice. There is more to the world than Europe.......

Two Help menus for some reason.
