Fizz Weather is an excellent program. Very well done and in my opinion a perfect example of a program that truly takes advantage of all that the Smartphone platform has to offer.

It's the perfect amount of data for the small screen. It doesn't take that much data to check the weather (estimtates from Fizz is about 7 to 14kb per city, depending upon the weather details). As long as you are not checking 2 or 3 cities a day, this is very reasonable amount of data I think for what you get. You can customize this to fetch the weather data 1x day 2x day, hourly etc, you can optionally view a weather map.

Overall, I was very impressed with the program!
