What's the absolute BEST weather program out there??

I've been researching these forums, but too many options and choices. So just tell me folks.... what do you think is the BEST weather program out there.

I want a 'clean' look on the today screen.... and overall. And something that ideally can give me radar images if i ask for it... live via internet connection.

updates should happen as requested and via active sync if i choose.

ok, so any thoughts? obviously free is nice, but i want the best one there is! so, has anyone tried more than one who can offer some advice?

and wm5 compatible please!

thanks!

I often switch between WeatherPanel and PocketWeather. I'd give the edge to WeatherPanel though.

Give WeatherPanel a try...I think it's probably the best weather app out there but there is no trial (the trial version is not WM5 compatible) and support is not there...

I used that program weather to go 3.1
It is completely free, and I loved it.

I loved weather to go too, until one day it decided to start locking up my 6700 during a updates and my pc whenever I tried to sync. Once it's completely compatible with activesync 4.1 I'll give it another shot.

I just go to Google, type Weather 76016 (my zip code) and I get the weather forcast, icons and all. It's free and it has no plug-ins to lockup my device and doesn't use up battery updating itself. I think the other programs are cool to have it on your Today Screen, but really, once I see that it's supposed to be Sunny, dry and 72, how many more times a day do I need to see it? If you need all those maps then weather.com will give you those too.

How about Avantgo -- weather channel, accuweather? Free, updates via Activesync and on demand.

best i've tried and i've tried just about all of them is weatherpanel. definitely worth the $10.

the best free app is adbweatherplus. not only is it free but i'd rank it second best overall.

both meet all the criteria you've specified and then some.

I like Spb Weather because of it's integration into Spb Plus as well as Diary. *** Note you have to run version 1.5 off their tech support page, not the one you DL by default or it wont update.
