Meteorologist ReviewVery good with one serious annoyance - Version: 1.4.8, 4/23/2009 11:21AM PST

I love this little menu bar addition -- but it has one significant, annoying flaw.

It seems that the attempt to refresh the weather occasionally hangs -- usually once a day or more on me -- and you have to quit out of the application and restart it. This can happen if you intermittently lose the connection or if the Mac goes to sleep while it's in the middle of a refresh.

It would be much better if it "timed out" of the refresh and tried again a little later.

That is what lowers this from 5 stars to 4. Fix it (assuming it's still being maintained) and it's 5 stars.

Meteorologist ReviewBest - Version: 1.4.8, 4/29/2008 10:06AM PST

Tried all the others and this one is the best. It uses very little CPU and fits perfectly up in the menubar looking just like it was meant to be there (put there by Apple itself). The preference interface is pretty clunky and there could definitely be improvments made there and in the dropdown menu gui. But, this is the only one I use anymore. Love the radar image (which the dev of weatherdock REFUSES to add) and once again, stable... doesn't use up CPU. The best.
