SPB Weather Hits Symbian To Replace Accuweather

A nice little feature would be a weather report. Similar to that of Psiloc World Traveler or WorldMate, I only use Psiloc for quick weather check-ups and the nice little report feature. So this could completely replace it for me. :)

Alerts for when a certain type of weather is forecast. For example if frost is forecast that an alert goes off telling you. You could link this to overnight temp

Maybe a nice addition for nautical types would be the addition of wave tables, making this the ideal for surfers, sailers, etc. Maybe even periodical weather updates and warnings if necessary with the period user defined.

I believe there should be a way to add other cities into the Widget…so it would show forecasts for multiple cities, refreshing ever 10 seconds or so.

I agree with baoiiee a weather report like in World traveler would be great.
But so far i like this great app/

I would love a licence, weather forecasts here are so important, they can save your life as the weather her can change so quickly. its almost minus 20 outside now.

I'd like to get an alert when inclimate weather is in your 'home' area. Say a Thunderstorm Watch or even better for my area (Houston) would be hurricane tracking.

Been waiting for a good weather app for my N86. Downloading trial now, so not sure if this app does this or not, but a homescreen plug-in showing todays forecast for the s60v3 phones would be great in my opinion.

I'd like to see more control over update schedule: not only 1/6/24 hours, but specifying exact times, eg. 6am, 5pm – it's better to know the forecast is up-to-date when you're about to hit the road.

Pick up location for forecast automatically from cell-id and/or GPS location, so that weather tracks current location.

This is a fantastic app! It is so much better than the default AccuWeather app that came with my N97. The frustrations I have had with that version have been many and I am sure shared by others. I now have a weather app that is truly useful and pleasant.

What would I change? Four things come to mind:

1. Add the ability to import our favorite locations from either Nokia Maps or Google Maps. Doing so would allow us to have a more personalized weather map and would help those that are in remote areas not found in the default cities (like Big Bear Lake, CA).

2. For the cities add the state (if U.S.) or province or county as many cities have the same name in the U.S. and other countries.

3. Add international airports so we can see the weather for either our departure or location.

4. Add the ability to zoom on the globe (unless it is already there and I can't see it). An integration with Nokia Maps or Google Maps could help with this as well.

Two features i would like to see are:

-automatically show local weather on homescreen based on where i am at the moment

and

-weather warnings, like storms and all that stuff.

Looks like a nice app though. Going to try it now.

I want it to auto tweet the temperature everyday. Also if it can refer to a database and tell me what the weather was on this day last year, and the year before that.

Integrate with Handy shell to be able to show this instead of Handy weather? I guess that ball's not really SPB's side though, sigh… :(

Hi, thanks for letting us know about this beautiful app! This is definitely way better than accuweather app. One thing i'm missing at this app is that i'd like personalisation of home screen. Like position, background image and etc. Apart from that, i loved trying this app on my e71

Would like to see little real-time snapshots of weather in the chosen city with an interesting landmark.

Great app…I love it on my N97…just wish you can change the background color on the home screen widget

I would like that in symbian 3rd (i have a n85) the information of the weather appears in “home screen”.

Please add a temperature chart for next few days.

laundry alert:
- prediction of the best time to hang your laundry.
- alerts if rain is coming.
- predict how good will the laundry dry, by temperature, humidity and winds.
keep it hanging ;->

Looks really better than accuweather, I want this app. regards

Severe weather alert should pop up a warning message on the home screen- like hurricanes, tornados, floods, heavy thunderstorms, each with their own unique flashing icon. When you click on the icon you should get put into the sob weather app.

I want this app! looks cool

I think either a “real feel” temperature indicator would be good – but I suspect it is copywrited by Accuweather. Times of dawn/dusk would, to me, be very handy as well as moon phases. Otherwise it looks like pretty much a worthwhile purchase for my phone.

Feature: integrate with calendar events.

I’d love to see sunrise and sunset times in there too

This app seems really interesting. I'm going to try it on my Nokia E72 (S60) and of course I'd love to win a license. :)

There's a feature I'd like to have – it might appear strange to some but it would be useful at least here in Lisbon. We don't usually get a lot of rain but I wouldn't mind having some sort of “Rainy tomorrow” alarm that would make me realize that I'll have to take my umbrella tomorrow. You can get that from the icons of course but we often get used to it and don't really scan them every day.

Looks awsome! How about speech integration and or daily text with “today's local forecast” with the ability to sign up for multiple txt updates w local weather. LEM617@gmail.com

I don't think it does, but Psiloc World Traveler has an option to show today's weather as a to-do note on the standby. It's also free :)

Spoken report (text to specch) and TXTed weather update sign up. I would sign up for that, to receive weather alerts when needed and weather reports once daily at 9 AM for 3 cities that I care about. LEM617@ovi.com

I'd like to be able to mention the current forecast to my Twitter followers or Facebook friends through a status update / tweet.

I think a Rotation Cities Feature could be added to the homescreen widget. Also a Temperature Chart could be really interesting

The features I would love to see to be added on were;

- Live update widget on HomeScreen.
- Snooze / Alert of raining, storm or snow.
- Satellite view.
- GPS coordination input.

What I'd like to see in a future version is more of a fun kind. When I check the weather ist mostly in the morning before leaving the house. I love stupid and totally useless facts, so why not add something like “whats up in the world” to get a fact about whats the weather like in random city, or coldest or hottest place on earth this day, or maybe some statistics about the wheater somewhere. I looove having such facts on mind when leaving the house, because you talk about the weather so much all over tha day!
Getting me the Demo of this bad ass app now, looks damn great!!
Love you SG ;)

I think it could trace a weather “timeline” using a previusly made route for a trip, using for exemple Google maps. This way you could trace your trip in a map software, indicating the route (cities) you will be passing by and “exporting it to SPB weather.
It would be realy cool to know all weather you will be facing in your trip, right?

1. It would be nice for the app to be smart enough to update the homescreen widget to current weather in whatever city/town that one is in, like sascha_o mentioned.
2. Another great feature would be for the homescreen to customizable – by letting you choose whether you want the forecast for the next 4 days or for the whole day in 3-4 hr intervals (& updates itself according to time)
3. And finally for the homescreen plug-in be included for S60 3rd (FP 1&2), like jeff & Tomas, mentioned and for it to include the above features as well.

Add feature to overlay weather forecasts over maps egs: google maps, so you can see coverage as if from a localised news broadcast. Incorpoarte this with navigation via gps – see what weather is doing as to drive / walk somewhere.

Nice app. Also visually entertaining. Wish the would add support for Umlaut like ü, ä, ö.

1. The homescreen widget to be customizable and give one option to have 4-day weather forecast or whole day forecast (3-4hr intervals or hourly).
2. For the homescreen widget to update itself and display current weather in whatever city/town one is in, if traveling (using GPS info).
3. To include homescreen plug-in for s60 3rd (FP1&2) and also include above features.

i was using handy weather, switched to forecaweather for the simple fact that handy weather while a very good app at giving hourly forcasts, daily forcasts, weekly forcasts, for current condtions here in edmonton, alberta, canada, only gives temperature. Nothing about the wind, conditions, etc which is not very helpful. Especially considering it's been below -40C the last 5 days. What would be great is a feature which would give an alert when weather warnings are issued (ie tornados, winter storms, etc)

I'd like more customisation available for the widget on my n97 homescreen… so I can chose whether to have a 4 day forecast, or a more detailed current day forecast showing.

I would like to have the function to get the weather forecast based on the GPS in my Nokia 5800th It can be associated with the closest major city.

I’m using it on my n82. I would like to see a key showing what temperature range the different colours signify.
I would like to be able to toggle the layers on and off. It seems that I’m just able to switch from one layer to the next (or am I wrong?)
An explanatory pop-up explaining what the data means would be nice as well: What’s the difference between the sky and cloud views? How much precipitation is indicated in the “Rain” layer?
A very well done app, minor quibbles aside.

The globe image should have a proper zoom , right now its zooming but its pix elating and a clear view of clouds will be good

I want widget/active standby support for my e72!

It is definitely the best weather app till date.
You can't even compare it to widget weather apps. Native ones are so much better.
I would like to see a screen notification for other phones like 5800. It can be done as a static window on a home screen like for example LonelyCatGames music player. Also weather icon themes would be nice.

It most definitely needs auto updating on the N97 home screen widget and an hour by hour breakdown, like on AccuWeather. If I'm nipping to the shops at lunch I like to know if it's expected to rain within the next hour or so, you never can tell where I live :-)

Attempt #2!
Feature I would like to see would be the ability to add the forecast to a maps application, egs: google maps. It could also be used to see the type of weather you are navigating to whilst driving/walking.

Something like the graph function on Handy Weather would be nice.
Also maybe a split homescreen widget with 2 upcoming days forecast for 2 cities (as an option) would be welcome…

why?

I would like to be able to change the font-color on the widget. At the moment its black with the theme maemo5 from tehk, so not readable…

On the E71 it looks great, especially how it integrates with your current theme.
It would be good if all the information could better formatted for the E71 screen, so that it is not required to scrool down to see weather for other days.

Symbian for life…

hello, I would like to have an option which allows me to save weather forecasts to the calendar for certain days in the future and update them frequently!

This is a sweet app! I love it already, having used it on my previous WinMo device. Perhaps one feature for a future release could be to enable selection of weather source (as in WinMo version). This would allow a user to choose a local weather source to use for current conditions and forecasts.

Grat weather app.. In Mexcio works great. Great pictures ando accurate information.

Nais! At least fro the descriptions and videos the tool looks amazing!

I'd like to suggest the ability to show multiple locations on the homescreen in place of just 1 location across a 4 day period.

How about severe weather alerts! This app looks better than my Handy Weather that only shows high temps on the homescreen.

It really needs moon phase and sunrise sunset times… For us hunters and fisherpeople…

This is actually a possibility in the app – when you go to add a city, you can either search their built-in database, or use your phone's GPS.

really hard to comment today not being able to post on opera mobile or web or mini. second try even on home pc. after trying so many times ill be concise since because posting problems and baby in the house im late for draw.

real feel (windchill and humidity) and POP (what makes weather network app so successfull on all other platforms. sadly no symbian love).

bugside: fix not being able to connect to gprs. first thought it was because of fido always showing roaming on rogers towers (let me be the judge if i want to use data when roaming) but other networks users have reported same issue. wifi only. multiple handsets reported to have same issue. im using i8910 and n97.

Really nice Application. I try now the trial its wonderfull. I would like see maps from continents, additionally to world map. So you can just take whole europe. i also would like see screen notification for 5800xm.

Ricky, How did you get the homescreen widget to show up? I am using it on the N97 Mini, but the SPB Weather widget doesn't show up in the available widgets. Do you have to register the app to get access to the widget?

i registered my copy, but i also cannot find the widget.
