Very nice! I might get this even though I already have Stocks and Weather Today. S&W Today icons are the only things on my Today screen that are not high res. Mm... I am going to miss those animated weather S&W icons.

I put it on, looks good! Intergrates nicely with Spb Pocket Plus.

Trying it, looks nice however I can't get it to update via pass through when docked like Pocket Weather does. If I have to connect via WiFi each time I want to update I will stick with Pocket Weather.

Anyone else try it and figured out the workaround to get it to update? I went to SPB but they don't show support for this product yet.

Also as an FYI I think PocketWeather is more configurable.

One word - AWESOME! I use the "line" skin. Looks great on VGA screen.

Spb Pocket Plus owners check your email :D.

Glad to see it is not only me, and that the issue is with SPB. I already took it off my PPC and sent an email to SPB to see if they have an answer. If they get it fixed or give me a work around I would reconsider. Meanwhile Pocket Weather syncs fine.

Looks nice, but I already own Pocket Weather. PW has great support, animated icons and is half the price. Spb seems to want a lot of money just for reporting the weather. I'm amazed at how many people continuously purchase similar programs over and over for incremental improvements, but that's just me.

SPB's support answer was really bad, obviously the woman who responded did not bother to read the questions and was giving me information on how to create a partnership and sync the PPC. Totally avoided or missed the question on their product. Way off base and useless.. too bad, looked like a good product, uninstalled and deleted and sticking with Pocket Weather.

Pocket Weather was 30% off Sunday - made it $5.50 US. Along with Pocket Breeze and iLauncher.

Fix for SPB Weather


1. Start / Settings / Connections
2. Click on the Connections Tab
3. Click on Advanced Settings
4. Click on Select Networks
5. Make sure the top one is NOT on My ISP change it to “My Work Network”
6. Both should say “My Work Network”
7. Save and leave
8. Test

OK, I tried the fix. Seems to work. Also seems like I shouldn't have to do that, since other programs work with pass through without doing that.

Here is a $5 off coupon code for Handango which brings the price down to $9.95.

---- coupon code is not for public distribution ---

I just bought pocket plus and am thinking about adding this. Can someone tell me how it works? I can get a wi-fi connection at school, but don't have one at home. Those who use it...How often do you connect to update? Does it take a while? Also, Does it have more than just major cities? I'd like to be able to get forecasts for some small towns and am wondering if it is possible with this program.

I have been using Spb Pocket Plus for over 3 weeks and have been using Spb Weather for the last 24 hours. No problems with either program, doens't slow my x50v down or use an unreasonable amount of system resources.

With the $5 off coupon I figured I would give it a shot, I actually have enough Hangango points to get it free, but I will save that for later. I figure for 10 bucks if I don't like it and want to go back to PocketWeather I can.
