Not Bad, for a Four Dollar Purchase

AS A PIECE OF SOFTWARE, ClassicWeather is pretty decent, worth four stars. It can provide forecasts for multiple cities, tying them to a single view (today, hourly, 10-day) or not. Degrees can be in celsius or fahrenheit, and this is sepeate from other measurements (inches or mm, for rain), which is handy if you are from a mixed metric/imperial background. Lots of langauges, good day/night indicators, wind info, etc.

HOWEVER, it’s accuracy is limited to its source material, in this case the Weather underground. I suspect that this service was chosen for it’s low cost: and as susal, you get what you pay for. (You did pay $3.99 for this, yes?) It’s star rating based on its accuracte forecasts would only be 2-3 stars.

IN SUMMARY, I only need an approximation of the weather, so if it’s off a few degrees (or if there’s an, admittedly rare, forecast outage/bad data), I’m cool: there are numerous free websites for weather, and the usefulness of the software remains. BUT, if you need acccurate, reliable forecasts, ClassicWeather is NOT for you: you will need to spend more than four dollars to meet your needs.
