the description text is sort of misleading. I installed this the first day it came out and found that the only thing actually downloaded to the device was the weather and leader text for each article. All other features spawned out to a web site.
Is this the way it was intended to be? or did I miss something?
If so, then they should change the description to reflect what's actually downloaded and what's not.

Omega is notorious for allowing you to install the demos of other software while installing one of their apps. They did do a promo once that included Checkers and Dominoes with Battery Bar for free, but the next version came out and it was no more. Maybe that's what they did here???

This product works with U.S. cities only at this time. I think this has something to do with the download sources that this program uses. I wonder if/when the source of these forecasts is going to get wise to this and start tweaking/breaking the service in lieu of payment.

Correct, the weather and leader text is the only content that is displayed using the Journal Bar app itself. Journal Bar also downloads the other (web-based) information, but it runs PIE to display this information. No need to write your own crappy browser when you have a perfectly awful one available to you already. But all the info is available offline.
