Looks neat. I have been using WorldMate by MobiMate for similar capability. Seems mcTraveller does more and is cheaper. The only thing it seems that WorldMate might have an advantage on is that it updates currency exchange rates when you sync. mcTraveller doesn't say it does that. Checking currency rates and updating them yourself can be cumbersome.

I like the "clock pack" of additional clock faces...

I find that quite hard to believe. I bet it doesn't even have half of the features this software does... :wink:

Well yes, tounge in cheek, but a 3.99 watch can do all the functions you need, I mean, how many of these apps do we use?
Does anyone really need a realtime global daylight screen?
It seems develepors are trying to squeeze the last out of very worn out concepts rather than think of anything new.

Tap and Go are masters of this approach

Yes, they essentially copy the products on the market instead of any sort of innovation. Kinda sad really.

So can a 3.99 watch do weather forecasts or is that considered a useless app?

I would consider it worthwhile if they improve on what others have done. I don't really see how this behavior makes them any different from any other vendors competing on any other line of products out on the market.
