Very nice, easy-to-use interface. The new widget has a permanent place on my homescreen now. Vibrant (w/Nero v5)

Great app, easy to use, reliable. However, recent updates are adding unnecessary bloat features. Who the heck needs social "let's share my weather" features? Come on, keep it light and simple before you ruin a good thing.

Looks beautiful on Moto Defy high res screen. Can be slow to update compared to the iOS version, and has the occasional force close. But good overall.

Very fast, and I do like the trending with temps and other things. The maps animate a bit better than the weather bug app. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the home screen widgets could be better.

Used to love. -Temp sometimes off by up to 10d -Dumb/pointless social button (at least let us opt to remove it) -no severe weather warning in toolbar

Awesome app!! Well worth the money. The best weather app on the market. Runs great on Droid X.

Best weather app, totally worth the money. I found this app after trying all the free ones and being disappointed of all their inadequacy. Gr8 job.

It does what I want it to do: current conditions, 7-day forecast, radar. And it does it without requiring me to hand over complete access to my phone like all the other weather apps want to do. As of this date the version does not seem to update the notification with current temperature, and as mentioned radar update can be a bit slow, but happy with the basic feature set and the tiny list of permissions it wants.

Location only updates occationally. Battery still goes quickly. Radar is great feature. Samsung Galaxy

Removed all other weather apps after trying this. Can get current, forecast, radar, and alerts at a glance. Supports both my current location and a list of other saved locations. I use this on both my Droid Pro and on my Nook Color. It rocks on both! Concur with another reviewer that an alert map view would be nice. One of my favorite and most used apps.
