The big difference between most of these basic applications is how the data is presented. It is nice to have a few choices so if you are looking for a weather application, have a look at this one.

Is this random product placement?
The software hasn't been updated and there's no review.

I use handy weather and love the home screen plug in but it never never never updates automatically and haven't been able to get support to reply.

Nope. It showed up in my feeds because it's on sale for a limited time and I thought that our readers might be interested.

That's good to know. Thanks. I don't think I would buy a weather app that doesn't update automatically.

I like how the home screen plugin has a city selector. :D I don't like how the Fizz Plugin auto-changes the city on the home screen or stays fixed at the first city in the list. :(

BTW...has anyone used this with Facade?

With Fizzweather, you go to an options screen and select the city from that list. My city was not on the list so I choose to search for my city from the larger database. Once found, it was added to "the list".

It auto updates the weather and is a very robust product with lots of weather data to include weather maps.

Love it.... :D

I do like FizzWeather and am aware of its ability to handle multiple cities. I was complaining about the "home screen plugin" which has only two modes when you have multiple cities in the weather list. It can show either the first city in the alphabetical order on the home screen or if you turn on the auto rotate feature then it will keep switching the cities on the home screen.

Handy Weather had a nice selector on the home screen it self.
