I switch between Weather Channel Max and Weather Bug. TWC might be going bye-bye though. Half the time it can't connect which causes a timeout and subsequent crash back to the home page.

I'm still evaluating the 3 free options (and considering paying the $0.99 to upgrade AccuWeather). TWC does load slowly, but I like its UI the best. WeatherBug has a lot of info, but for me the important info is too tiny and the UI (tap on panels to enlarge them as popovers) doesn't feel quite right. AccuWeather is pretty nice too, but the panel switching UI (the gigantic icons that show 1 at a time even on iPad's large screen) doesn't feel right either. Probably I'll keep 2 of them. I use both TWC and AccuWeather on my iPhone since each one is good at different things plus gives you slightly different forecasts (since they use different source data).

Maybe with OS4 folders I'll keep all of them stuffed into a Weather folder.

I actually use the web mobile version of Weather Underground. By far, the best weather application - IMHO.
