Nearly Perfect Weather App  By: Ponkabonk - Aug 7, 2009 Version: 1.5 I've been waiting for this for a long time. IMO, TWC has nearly gotten this perfect. The free version works well but I much prefer not having to see the ads on the screen (which leaves more room for the maps). The only thing I could suggest for an improvement would be to be able to turn off the "future" mode on the map. It's cool and all but I rarely want to see where they think the front is heading. I've got an older phone so having to download (at a slower speed) data I'm not really interested in makes me sad. :o( But seriously, I've tried most of the weather apps and this one is by far the best. I recommend the Max version.
Aiight, MUCH better!  By: Fyzics - Aug 7, 2009 Version: 1.5 Updated:With the new graphics, much better! Looks sleek and cool, they get my vote!I guess I haven't had a chance to use the "future cast" part, so I'm not sure that it works. But I like it, not only are their NO ads but a cool background that sold me, so I guess it just depends on personal preference.Old:Don't waist your money!!! The graphics and black layout look cool right?! I agree, BUT those pictures are not the same as the app looks. The Max looks EXACTLY LIKE the FREE version!!! This app is pretty much like the free version (minus the ads at the top); so if you want to waist your money JUST for no ads then buy it.....I wish I hadn't waisted the money.

Great, easy to navigate radar that includes cities and roads - plus future cast  By: Douglas - May 25, 2009 Version: 1.0 If you're driving through bad weather, this app is for you. Parents, if you have kids driving to college, this app is for you - and them! The heart of a weather app is its radar and this one utilizes Google Maps as its background. Even on the slower EDGE network, it is fairly quick and easy to navigate and zoom. You can see cities and roads clearly as you zoom and move around the image. Ever drive through a storm, trying to decide if you're going to pull over or how long to wait before resuming your travels? This paid version also includes future cast capability that is invaluable in trying to avoid severe weather cells. I've tried and discarded four other weather apps before I came across this one.
Is a great weather app. I waited for it.  By: Chris e - May 24, 2009 Version: 1.0 It's a great app. I switched from it when the ad's came to the free one. And went to the weather bug elite but when saw this it was what I was waiting for. It is a bit too much money $1.99 is about right. I think they think that twc is so great that people will pay this price. The sad part is their right. I paid !! They may update the free app and take alot of features away to make you buy the max to get the features back. That's what the weather bug did !!! It makes sense why pay for something you get for free !! Beware of that. Because right now the free and the paid are the same with alittle extra and no ad's. But it's not worth $3.99 if you can get it for free. But I love twc it's the best. If you are willing to pay $3.99 go ahead and get it !! Also the future radar is slow it's takes time to load between time changes. Wish I had cameras !! The weather bug had 5 cameras in my area. Twc has 0 !! Use the school cameras that the weather bug is using. But everything else is great !!
Good but overpriced.  By: Mathematix - 02-Aug-2009 Version: 1.0 A great app for keeping track of weather in the United States which is what I purchased it for. UK and other regions pales in comparison - maybe because the Weather Channel is American?
They say that the traffic cam is a feature of this app but I am yet to find it. It certainly existed in the free version!
The hefty price tag for the addition of one feature and omission of ads is too high - I would have narrowly accepted £1.19 for a fair price.
Fahrenheit to Celsius does work, just make sure you touch 'Done' after you've changed your setting to save.
"Future" Radar is useless  By: ArisaemaDracontium - Aug 5, 2009 Version: 1.5 Overall, I think this is the best all-purpose weather App out there right now. One thing that really bothers me though is the "future" radar, which is totally useless. It is no where near accurate enough to be of any real value in determining if you are going to get rained on or not. I would MUCH rather have more frames in the past so that I can better see where the storm is going. As it stands there is no way to turn this "future" radar off, so I keep having to manually move the progress bar back to the beginning and then letting it move just a few frames forward to "Present" until I get the picture. Not very user friendly. Also, a small nit-pick is that I would like to be able to choose which type of weather info I get in the "hourly" forcast. For example, relative humity is very important to me when I do prescribed burning, someone else might want to know the UV index, for example.
Good app, let us customize the background  By: BilalNaseer - Aug 5, 2009 Version: 1.5 This review adds to my review for last version (below). The new version is better but the black background doesn't appeal to me and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Wish the developers will give us option to pick backgrounds or revert back to the old more vibrant one.Overall a good upgrade from free version. No ads and displays more hours in hourly weather. Also seems really fast to load, maybe since the ad banner is removed. I love it's icon colors.Developers, please add push notifications for severe weather alerts. That would make this perfect.

Works as designed  By: ckong - Jun 28, 2009 Version: 1.0 I've been using the free TWC app for a while, and decided to purchase this one. It's a clean app that works as advertised. The new features are nice (you can see them on the screen shots) and has no ads. I really like the 10-day forecast (which is the reason I've stayed with TWC). It would be nice if it had features like the other weather apps (wind direction, on-location cams) and a little lower in price.
GREAT UPDATE;like the UI BUT  By: iTouchAppReviewers - Oct 31, 2009 Version: 1.5 Plz add PUSH NOTIFICATION FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND CACHE THE INFO FOR OFFLINE VIEWING FOR 5s. But GREAT UPDATE.ALSO add:Dew point for my location. Fix bugs and load time for radar/future radarAs always, please add push notifications for severe weatherMake my location closer to where it actually is.Fix radar. Make all of it more accurate. DO ALL THIS FOR 5 STARS. GUYS CHECK OUT THE APP "LetMeKnow" if U WANT PUSH NOTIFICATIONS FOR SEVERE WEATHER!
