I am a BB weather user, i like it but i fell pretty quickly for Weather Eye, like most people, the fact that SHORT TERM forecast doesn’t work irritates me. I would personally put it above BB weather if it could handle this issue. Im really not into the weather feeds from Viigo for some reason, i’m not really sure why that is. Weatherbug just doesn’t do it for me either, so until someone can knock off BBweather (i.e. weather eye getting short term to work) it is the undisputed champion for weather on a BB in my opinion.
p.s. i hope someone figures out how to fix short term and posts it on here!

Ron, BBweather locks up my 8300 too.
The problem with these weather apps is that they never include my city, although weather info about it is available on the Web, at weather.com and wundergound.com . The pages are ugly, but that’s where the information is, so I end up using the browser instead.
If you live in a major city, then you don’t need Weather Eye or any of these other apps. Go to the Blackberry home page http://mobile.blackberry.com and click the “Weather push” link. You get forecasts from AccuWeather and The Weather Network. These don’t include my city either, but they include major cities and put an icon on your home screen that changes according to the current weather/forecast. These are not applications, they’re just Web links, so that’ll save you some device memory. Weather Eye uses more than 200Kb. That’s too much.

What I’d like to see is an app that includes live animated weather radar. Websites are slow and the images are too small and unreadable to me.

Short-term forecasts have been working the last few days. Yeah!
