Anyone know of a better weather app for the TP? One that maybe has radar?
 
I saw that weather channel makes a pay app for this. Wanted to know if there was a free one.

Interesting idea... With a screen for Doppler radar?

Yeah exactly what I mean. Right now the weather channel has one but you have to pay for it.

It's not an app, but I usually go onto Accuweather for the Doppler maps... It would be nice to be able to cut a few steps out...

Weather Panel with one of the custom themes is BY FAR the best program & it's free.

The only problem is, it's a home screen plug-in & won't run as a stand-alone. I have WP running from "second today" & it has radar maps/traffic cams from all over my area/charts of everything you can think of/moon phases etc etc etc etc

I also have the weather channel program, but I hardly ever use it.

It sure is. Jmorton nailed it...WP combined w/ one of the available custom themes is the way to go for weather info. The PhatPhinger icons do take up quite a bit of real estate on your screen, but I got around this by putting it on it's own tab on Mobile Shell.

Great finds! And this works in Touch Flo? Create a Tab or something..

weather panel will not work from within TF3D, that's why I use second today for that app (works perfectly).

See where it says "WPanel" at the bottom of my home screen?? That launches weather panel:

Go to my-cast.com and sign up for free web weather. The doppler radar works great.

rumbal's VGA weather panel diamond theme with the full animated icons is the setup I'm running.

The Weather Channel app appears to suck...radar data is always 10 minutes old and all the video stuff I looked at was from Monday or Tuesday. This was after doing a manual refresh as well. I certainly wouldn't pay for this.

May I ask how you did that?

My-cast is free. Register on your PC for the free web weather. Then log in on your phone.

This looks really nice, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to "sign up" What am I missing??

Looking for the same thing. I need a quick and easy way to view radar. I like TF3D, and I don't really want to run two today screens. How did you manage to get WP on a soft menu.

Here is how you put it on the soft menu. Just link it to that program. Follow the instructions on post 2. Hope that helps.
