HTC weather app still wins – much prettier!
pretty? lol, it tells you the weather. job done.
Weather apps are cool, i remember the days of windows mobile and weather panel.
The weather maps look quite good.
Good tip – also on the same day the BBC news app works on tablets better too,
Beautifully designed, unlike the horrible website. Very pleased to have an office weather app to use on my HTC HD2 runnning Android v4.0. At last an accurate weather app to complement the Met Office aviation data I need as a GA pilot
