BeWeather for iPhone - Free Weather App by Bellshare

[Ledsteplin]

I TOTALLY agree with this post....SMILE

I still have issues on the widget. I think it must be the PNG images I used on Launcher. They may be using a lot of memory. But I get 3 sections really well. And that's still a lot of weather info for a widget. I can get 4 if I delete everything but Launcher. I tried Trond's Widget Weather, and it was nice. But it doesn't show much.

No problems with the widget or app on my device. The BeWeather2 app (IMHO) has enough options and is working great, I personally think it's ready for the Apple app store, anything else can come in an update.

I agree, the app and widget works fine and it has no effect on the battery life either

Will there be other weather services that we can use on this app. Right now the weather underground is way off showing the windchill the same as the weather, but other weather apps show the windchill and weather more accurate.

Where are you located? WU is accurate in my area.

It’s pretty "hit or miss" in the Phoenix metro area. Of course, a large part of the issue is how WU works - it’s a network of Persona Weather Stations (PWS), any of which could be spot on or way off. It’s kind of the nature of the beast.

Try using another weather station/source in your area. Tap on the city name and then choose a new PWS from the list and see of that makes it any better/more accurate.

Unfortunately, the PWS that get selected as my GPS/default location is not very accurate. I wish there was a way to block the PWS that are historically inaccurate.

A friend has an Android phone, I'm trying to change him, but he's wanting to know if they will have version of this weather app soon

Most of my personal weather stations don't include the "feels like". It does show rarely. But even the airport location doesn't show it. So I just don't show that. I changed mine to "Humidity". If I want to know what it feels like, I step out the door.

Everything is working great. I think it's ready for prime time.

If everything goes well and there are no new major bugs we will use the next beta version as the official release.

That is great to hear. My wife really wants it and she is the one who must be obeyed.

Good because after 45 pages of posts I want it

This sounds great. App is terrific and should do really well in the app store.

When do you plan to release next beta?

One minor inconsistency is weather data slots. There is some duplication, for example I have pressure in one of the 4 top slots. But pressure also shows down at the bottom of the page.

It seems like all of the weather slots should only show in one place. For example if you selected none in the top 4 slots then all should show on the bottom. But don't show any of them twice.

This is GREAT to hear. Now I can concentrate on Weather sets that won't disappear with an official release. Did you manage to add some Apple (and others) weather sets for the official BeWeather2 ? The Blackberry sets are ok, but not sure how that will look on an Apple device...SMILE

Unfortunately, still having the same issue on the iPad after the latest update. Still no way to access Settings.

Still love the app and widget, but this bug is still present. After each update, I have to delete and reinstall the app to be able to access Settings. Just a minor annoyance really.

This is by design. Think of the four weather data slots on the top of the page to be "shortcuts".

We do have full iPad compatablity in the works.

Version 2.0.42 is now pending beta approval. I hope this is not going to take another 2 days like the last one.

• Fixed occasional clipping of large temperature display in app
• Fixed bolding of fonts in app
• Now always using the same Helvetica-Neue-Thin for temperature (regardless of global 'Bold Text' setting)
• Fixed temperature font too bold in sidebar
• Fixed alert screen not using bold font when global 'Bold Text' is enabled
• Re-designed location permission screen. Now blue background with BeWeather logo on top.
• Added text 'Weather Data by' next to WU logo. Custom WU logo per theme (dark and light one)
• Fixed 24 hour setting
• Removed Snell Roundhand font

That was quick. Did you make any changes to the map fading speed?

Will the next beta fix the wind speed issue. It keeps saying 0 on PWS but airport has an actual reading
