AccuWeather Pitted Against SPB Weather

By The Guru on March 7, 2010

SPB WeatherHaving a great weather application is a necessity when you live in Texas – in the past 3 weeks, we’ve had days with 8+ inches of snow as well as days with 70 degrees and lovely sunshine. You never know what the weather is going to do, so it’s important to have up-to-date information available on your Symbian-powered smartphone.

Fortunately, there are several great options that you can use, but which one is better on your touchscreen-equipped Symbian-powered smartphone? Our friend Lloyd was wondering the same thing, so he pitted two popular options, AccuWeather and SPB Weather, head-to-head, to find out which is a better solution. You can read his full comparison here, to find out which one he prefers.

You can view our review of SPB Weather here, or purchase it from the Symbian-Guru App Store. AccuWeather is available for free from the Ovi Store directly.

    Snow and 70 degrees within the span of a week. Sounds like New England to me :)

    I have always used a combination of AccuWeather and WeatherBug on my i8910. I have never been able to decide which on I like better though. After reading this comparison I may try SPB Weather, but honestly I doubt I'll like it enough to pay $15 after the trial expires. Free-Add-Supported is fine with me for applications like these that use a small banner at the bottom. I have enough RAM to go around and I don't worry about data usage.

    No competition in the UK. Accuweather has been broken for the N97, at least in may parts of the world, for months now. They have known about it as I am not the only one to have informed them and been informed that they knew. Quite liking the simplicicty of Offscreen's Free Touch Weather App from the OVI Store, which uses Forca for it's weather information and provides weather information based on cell tower positioning. Nice.
