The current version of WeatherDock, is 1.1, which is the second public release of the application. The most important reason of releasing this second version so quickly was to have a public version completely conform the weather.com® guidelines and rules. Now WeatherDock is a fully legitimate application. This means as of now I don't support the 1.0 version and don't condone the use of it. I therefore advise and ask all users of the current version to upgrade to the latest version.
Though this is second release within a week, don't hesitate to download it, since it's packed with a lot of new features. Next to that it addresses some of the issues users had with the first version.
What's new in this version:
- Feels like temperature, available next to the current temperature (only displayed when it differs from the current temperature)
- Humidity, in the current conditions as well as in the forecasts
- Date/time format customization
- Optional larger icon badge, for those with 40 icons in their dock
- Optional Brushed metal interface
- Speech customization, set the speech prefix text and select whether you want the location to be spoken
- Editable favorite locations
- Current conditions in the dock menu.
- More locations can be added using weather.com locationID's.
- Help documentation
- Customizable notifications

Hannibal FortuneA couple of suggestions for improvements. One is that there should be a variable refresh interval. The other programs have it. This seems to be refreshing once an hour, and that's way too seldom. Up to once every 15 minutes would be better. And right now, the days and nights in the menu blend together. It would be better to have alternating background colors for the rows, white for day and light gray for night. Just for the text, though. Leave the icon column with a white background so the icons don't need to be changed with transparency.

1) An option to show a local and/or state image of radar like the meteorologist app does
Here is an image of it in action here:

2) An option to show how many inches of snow accumulation is predicted instead of only saying "light snow", "heavy snow", etc.
If WeatherDock added these two things, I wouldn't be frustrated by having to go to actual weather sites with the Safari browser and could just rely on WeatherDock. While we're at it, another option to turn red or some other type of alert to show when there are severe weather alerts posted.
