What's New
Version 1.6.9:
See the current temperature in the menubar and current weather condition details as you hover.
In my opinion the half-star rating is unfair. For me, the application does work without problems and the movies by which it presents the weather look very nice (although they could be better in a higher resolution on a big screen such as on a 27" iMac). The maps also present a lot of information.
Is it the best (most detailed and scientific )weather application? No - if you want to know what the weather will be at 11:00 AM on the next weekend. There are more detailed weather apps for that.
Does it present the weather with nice eye candy? Yes - if you run it on an iPad or a Mac you can leave it on and give you an impression of the weather as a nice relaxing movie.
I'm in 100% agreement with the other sentiments here about developers who don't allow us to test drive their apps. However, I also feel that they should be penalized for this with half-star reviews.
As always, we'd love it if developers who use the App Store would take a cue from other programmers, like Russell over at SweetP Productions (Cookie), and provide a demo which can be downloaded at the developers site, for trial, prior to purchase.
Mac developers have been doing this with their wares for some fifteen plus years, with great success I might add.
I know you guys are feeling the pinch in sales, because I have many developers confide this to me. (Many, as in over 100)
Take the hint: provide a test drive, before asking us to buy the car.

And yet another APP STORE ONLY.
NO demo = NO purchase.
Is creating a demo beyond the programming skills of this developer or is it just another stupid rule by Steve
