BIMI BOLABO  Yup, WeatherPop is a dead issue. A great alternative is METEOrologist, and it's free. Get it here:

http://heat-meteo.sourceforge.net/  
(Version 2.6.1)

CMDAWSON  I'm thinking development is stopped? The developer site no longer exists, and Glu.com appears to be a mobile phone game developer now :(. Oh well time for a free alternative anyway.  
(Version 2.6.1)

CAMINO1  Since I have installed Leopard, WeatherPop has been useless.  
(Version 2.6.1)

SEISHIZERO  I cannot add my city (Seattle, WA). In fact, I can't add any city at all (New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Chicago, IL).

I am using Leopard (10.5.2) on an iMac G5.  
(Version 2.6.1)

BILBAR  I haven't been able to get this working under Leopard.  
(Version 2.6.1)

LOREM IPSUM  i put every combination of new york, ny possible, spellings, zips, you name it and it never found it.  
(Version 2.5)

KP.GORES  Meteorologist rocks!Including european cities.  
(Version 2.4)

HALLOWSPIRIT  There maybe be a weather widget in tiger, but i have yet seen it show an accurate temperature. Weather pop allows you to choose from diffrent weather sources.  
(Version 2.2.1)

ANONYMOUS  Very useful. Provides a complete overview. Intuitive use of options.  
(Version 2.2.1)

ANONYMOUS  If you're too lazy to get Tiger, this is great. However, since dashboard has a widget that will give you a 7 day forecast and the current conditions, this program is fairly useless on Tiger.  
(Version 2.2.1)

JOSEPH MCKENNA  WeatherPop includes European Cities

Meteoroligist does not

So I think Weather Pop is far superior

(Version 2.2)

ANONYMOUS  Meteorologist is much better and its free and more stable  
(Version 2.1)

RONL  I've been using WeatherPop for around 2 years with virtually never a glitch, but now in the recent version it won't allow me to create a new location nor a different weather source... even from within its own list. What gives? OS X 10.3.9 + WP 2.1   
(Version 2.1)

ANONYMOUS  This is a nifty little app. I just tried out Meterologist since it has a higher rating, but I find WeatherPop to be much superior to Meterologist — which would not add to the list of cities Santa Monica, CA or Venice, CA or Neskowin, OR, which WeatherPop was able to do. WeatherPop also accesses several weather servers unlike the one server used by Meterologist.Also, the weather info is available easily in a very handy interface without additional mouse clicks.   
(Version 2.1)

ANONYMOUS  Why have this when there is a wonderful application that is accurate and totally cool called Meteorologist (version 1.4.3).And it´s free as well!  
(Version 2.1)

BILL  2.1 works fine under Mac OS X 10.4.2, so far. BTW, I've got tokyo and Cabo San Lucas (MX) on my list so it's NOT limited to U,S, cities.  
(Version 2.1)

ANONYMOUS  Only allows US cities. What a piece of crap.

PS - Yes, I don't live in the US.  
(Version 2.1)

ILGAZ OCAL  www.glu.com has changed to www.glulabs.com

Not big deal, if one could tell how to alert macupdate about it.  
(Version 2.0.6)

DAVID MOORE  I lost my key code and have been trying for 2 weeks to contact so I can retrieve because I cannot reopen WeatherPop.  
(Version 2.0.6)

ANONYMOUS  WeatherPop 2.0.8 crashes immediately on 10.2.8. Since 2.0.1 stopped getting updates for my town, I'm now SOL unless this is fixed.  
(Version 2.0.6)

ANONYMOUS  glu mobile recently bought glu.com from Glucose Development Corporation, the developers of WeatherPop. They should have a new URL available in the future.

In the meantime, you can email Benjamin Garrett (benagarr@yahoo.com) with requests on WeatherPop's status.

glu mobile support   
(Version 2.0.6)

ANONYMOUS  www.glu.com now belongs to a new media company...  
(Version 2.0.6)

LEXY  Still no readings for Amsterdam, The Netherlands though it worked fine in Panther.

Worthless as it is now!  
(Version 2.0.6)

ANONYMOUS  Totally useless software now due to Tiger's Weather-Widget =)

buuuaahahahahahaha!!!!!

it WAS nice while it lastet though =)  
(Version 2.0.6)

APOC_METAL  Great software that I've been using for prolly more than a year without problems, although I see other users have discovered it only supports U.S. cities, which is a pity...

Otherwise works great!

And it also works as a great net status indicator... when my internet connection is down, I see no weather!

Haven't paid for it, since I don't really use it that heavily and can't bring myself to spend cash on a little temperature gage... but I may pay eventually.   
(Version 2.0.5)

ANONYMOUS  Anyone have the problem with the weather reporting Mon, Tue, Wed, Wed? Works great otherwise (ver 2.0.4).  
(Version 2.0.4)

ANONYMOUS  As some people here discovered, the free version only allows for U.S. cities. (you have to buy it to get access to other cities worldwide)

If you can live with that, good. If not, try Meteorologist, a darned good alternative to this.  
(Version 2.0.4)

FRANZ  to developers....

you can make this utilitie works with "foreigns" cities?

example: Pucon, Chile

will be GREAT!  
(Version 2.0.4)

ANONYMOUS  Why oh Why don't these people just say when its b***dy America only FFS

I type in London, everything but where London actually exists comes up, stick it up your jacksee.  
(Version 2.0.4)

ANONYMOUS  Well dones app. Thank you for the Free Version. We appreciate it.

tbj   
(Version 2.0.4)

ANONYMOUS  I love Weatherpop, it does what it needs to do. I do wish I could change the font color to match my GUI Themes I use (via ShapeShifter) but that's all i can add...Thanks!  
(Version 2.0.4)

ANONYMOUS  The one thing that keeps me from using any of the myriad other apps out there that are more full-featured is the icon set that WeatherPop uses. I just find the icons more elegant and easier to read than the others. There's also something nice about grayscale icons that looks better.

I have WeatherDock on my computer and think it's wonderful, but for everyday use, WeatherPop is still my choice.  
(Version 2.0.3)

SCOTT   Try "Meteorologist". Its free, easily customised, and stable.  
(Version 2.0.3)

ANONYMOUS  didn't work with me> I lowered my "favourite cities" to 3 but all I got was the little thermometer in the menu bar with an "X" beside it.

When clicking on it, the first choice: "Please choose a US city or upgrade" appeared greyed out. Trying to access the preferences greyed out the rest of the choices.

Nice work. Not as advertised.  
(Version 2.0.2)

TNH  Meteorologist is free and does basically the same thing as the advance version of this application. I'm not so hot on the phallic icon this app has. The pluses are the available sources, but meteo/rologist seems to be 100% better in value and of as good quality,  
(Version 2.0.2)

ANONYMOUS  I hate to say this, but I use the free WeatherDock app now---even though I paid for the full version of WeatherPop when it first came out!   
(Version 2.0.2)

ANONYMOUS  Does this do Canadian Cities?  
(Version 2.0.2)

ANONYMOUS  I have found that "Weatherdock" does what this is supposed to do without the problems. "Weatherdock" is free and available here on MacUpdate.  
(Version 2.0.1)

JOHN DODSON  I like having weatherpop on my computer except that sometimes it is just plain off. Today, which is a Monday it is giving me readings for Friday and Saturday. And I wish it offered more. Like reports from the sea where I live or specific meansurements of rainfall in a given area.  
(Version 2.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  Wonderful idea, horrible execution. As mentioned previously, the preference files must manually be removed periodically. This is especially true if there is no response from the selected source server: while awaiting data from the server, the "Preferences" option is dimmed, so one is unable to change the source, resulting in an infinite loop.

This is unacceptable for Macintosh software. If this issue is corrected, WeatherPop would be a terrific piece of software. This is a very unfortunate oversight.  
(Version 2.0.1)

CHRIS  As a registered user of Weatherpop Advance I can only mention how disappointed I am. It appears to fail at every log out or restart. If you don't mind deleting the preference file every day or more than you should love it. Support? None, not even a auto reply telling you that they don't support paying customers...  
(Version 2.0.1)

JCAVACA@NETCABO.PT  no Oporto, nor Lisbon???  
(Version 2.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  No Melbourne in Australia? I can't seem to get this to display the weather in Melbourne. The documentation is insufficient as well.  
(Version 2.0.1)

ANONYMOUS  Proxy support!

Wherever you open a socket to (say) www.weather.com port 80 and send:

GET /path/to/file HTTP/1.0

Headers: stuff

Instead, check for a proxy (or let us set it) and use that. Say my proxy is "firewall.example.com" on port 8080, then connect to that and send:

GET http://www.weather.com:80/path/to/file HTTP/1.0

Headers: stuff

And Bob's Your Uncle, you're magically transported to the right place!

Alternatively, if there's an HTTPS proxy set, things are more complex:

CONNECT www.weather.com:80 HTTP/1.0

User-Agent: weatherpop and stuff

Then you wait for a "200" response, and go on with the regular HTTP conversation:

GET /path/to/file HTTP/1.0

Headers: stuff  
(Version 2.0.1)

ANON  Anonymous seems to be unaware of how to use this nice little program. I live in Berlin and get as much information on local weather (and on other European cities) as I did in Chicago. Learn to use the program before badmouthing it.  
(Version 2.0)

JEREMIAH  I only used this for a bit and while it was cool, had some serious issues with it. The biggest being, how do you quit? There's no quit command in the menu, there's nothing about it in the force quit window, I had to reboot and be really glad that I had booted it from the DMG and not from thehard drive.   
(Version 2.0)

ANONYMOUS  Useless, unless you live in USA.  
(Version 2.0)

BOB WEINER  Easy to use, and convenient. Works for me -- great job, developer! Endorsed by pcweenies.com  
(Version 2.0)

THEICEMAN  Great update. I really like the new, updated icons in the menubar. Nice!  
(Version 2.0)

ANONYMOUS  Any idea why this simple little app requires over 15 MB of ram??? Seems quite excessive.  
(Version 1.8.6)

BRENT TRAUT  As far as menu based weather display applications go, this application is lacking.

I am very impressed with the ease of use and beauty of this application, however its quirks and bugs have forced me into using its direct competitor, WeatherMenu.

WeatherPop gives lots of information, all useful, but not always completely accurate. Many a time has WeatherPop told me that I'm in a snowstorm when in fact it was sunny outside. It never seems to get the temperature just right, either. It really bugs me that the main thing this application was made to do isn't done accurately.

One other thing that always drove me nuts is how it displays the time incorrectly. "12:20 AMAM" and "5:21 PMPM" are examples of what it says for last updated time.

In a different light, one very fair aspect of this application is the price. I'm always happy to support independent developers by paying shareware fees.

Even through its problems, WeatherPop a great application. I do, however, urge all of its users to try WeatherMenu before paying for a copy

btraut.  
(Version 1.8.6)

DAVID R. PRUETT, MD  Great application! I really enjoy having weather info for all of my favorite places close at hand. Thanks for an outstanding application.  
(Version 1.8.6)

ANONYMOUS  Nice when it works, but more often than not these days it seems to have trouble connecting to the weather server, so it just displays a red thermometer with an 'X' by it.  
(Version 1.8.5)

ANONYMOUS  Best little app out there, works like charm. Developers have improved the app 200% and is still free (like free beer).  
(Version 1.8.5)

ALEXIS  Work even in France !! Great app !  
(Version 1.8.2)

BUFFORDZ  Great product! I have had no problems. Could use a few more features but it is free!!  
(Version 1.8.2)

JASON  This is one of the most used applications next to Watson. Please keep up the good work.

FYI please include the zip codes back in for location finders, that was the best.  
(Version 1.8.1)

DAVE  It should say that it is only for the US. It's not nice to have the program choose the location for you. I'd prefer to say 'yes, take that'.  
(Version 1.8.1)

GAZWOOTNIE  it took very few days for the Kansas City, Missouri parsing to become broken yet again... meaning that WeatherPop can't retrieve inof on Kansas City, Missouri and though this 1.8.1 version fixed this issue for awhile, it was again broken after a few days... perhaps four days later, broken...  
(Version 1.8.1)

D00D  WeatherPop may be a tad easier to set up initially compared to Meteorologist, but not very much. The feature set for Meterologist is much greater that it should really be compared to WeatherPop Advance.

WeatherPop shows nearly no information. Meteorologist shows weather information for the day and for the next 9.  
(Version 1.8)

JASON COOK  i was likewise impressed with this software, and registered it. i lost the registration code doing a system upgrade, and emailed the developers twice, hoping they could resend the key. they didn't respond.

obviously, small companies can't do a lot of hand-holding-type tech support, but i would think that re-mailing access keys to paying users is a fair enough service to expect. i'm disappointed. (and also out 8 bux.)  
(Version 1.8)

KURU  1 star for only being available for American users. There is a whole world out there, you know...

At least meteo supports the other 5 3/4 Billion of us...  
(Version 1.8)

BILL MILLERICK  I purchased Weather Pop Advance on Feb. 3, after trying the free version and wanting to support the developers. However, when I upgraded to newer versions subsequently released, (twice), I lost the Advance and cannot re-register. I have tried e-mailing the developers and the seller and get no response. Beware, your eight dollars will be tossed out the window the first time there is a revision and you try to upgrade. The producy is great, the support system is flawed, negligently so. What a disappontment, because I'm afraid word will get out about the complete lack of support (or even a way to get support) and a good product will fail.  
(Version 1.7)

MACLECTIC  This review is purely to counteract the negative reviews of others who clearly didn't use Weather Pop for more than about 10 seconds and decided to write a review comparing to other similar SW they clearly spent more time with.

This is the best supported and cleanest looking of its ilk. Let's just say, my wife loves WeatherPop and can't figure out the others or they were too cheesy for her.  
(Version 1.6.5)

ANONYMOUS  Meteo is ok, but I like Weatherpop's menu display better; it's formated clearer, and shows icons for the week.  
(Version 1.6.4)

JACQUES56  Tried the advance version. This one is free. Displays the temp. 1.3 MB to display the temperature and launches my browser for updates. Hmmm... I think not.  
(Version 1.6.3)

ANONYMOUS  Why does this "free" version need to exist when Meteorologist is so much better - and really free?  
(Version 1.6.3)

ANONYMOUS  Crashed when trying to add/manage locations.

Otherwise seems like a pretty useful (albeit specific) tool.  
(Version 1.6.2)

ANONYMOUS  No value whatsoever, Meteorologist is freeware and has many more features. It was good while it lasted though! :)  
(Version 1.6.1)

ISWITCHED 2 METEO  I still like meteorologist best. Lots of features, free, and always remembers where I live, unlike Weatherpop  
(Version 1.6)

ANONYMOUS  For a whopping $8, you get to adjust the update frequency. It's a terrific little program. It sits quietly, not using any process time, between updating.

Other programs also do weather - Watson and WeathermanX (which has a menu app).   
(Version 1.5.3)

ANONYMOUS  Waste of time...only updates every 30 minutes, which renders it almost useless. Stick with Weatherman X which updates as often as you would like it to, and has more features.  
(Version 1.5.3)

JEEPEE  Very nice program and it's free!!! For more features you can upgrade.  
(Version 1.4)
