Weather Watch X ReviewLimited features... not recommended - Version: 1.2.1, 10/5/2004 03:09PM PST

Weather Watch X does what it says, but that said, the features are rather limited. From the start (unregistered copy), it's impossible to remove a location and add a new one. Quit Weather Watch X and restart it to try another location. After selecting a location, the cursor should change to a waiting state to show Weather Watch X is working. Other than those two small problems, everything works as advertised.


However, compared to Watson's Weather tool, for example, Weather Watch X is a poor, single-feature imitation. Preferences are almost non-existent, e.g., lacks options to select between units (Celsius/Fahrenheit, etc.). Forecasts are limited to temperature and an icon; no forecast text is available (percent chance of rain, etc.). There are no provisions for weather radar or satellite data.


Weather Watch X has potential as a useful, single purpose application, but limited features make it not worth the price without further development and capabilities.

Does what is says. Did not see an option to fine tune where the weather is being picked up from. The interface is clean but too big for a 15" screen. Closing the window quits the program. Is there no way to keep the icon active in the dock or menu? Could use more preferences: what info is diplayed, floating not floating, keep an icon in the dock or menu bar, etc. I don't quite understand why all the text fields are editable. I changed the humidity to some strange number and tried the update. It did not change the number back.

Not bad, not great.
