Looks good

Does it allow adding Accuweather RSS feed for getting weather outside of US?

Yes. You can get weather info from other countries too.
City search by name or partial name available.

Sorry for my bad English. I'm from Russia.

Sweet little app small, light on data

Just a couple of ideas:

Swipe right to change between Current Today 5 day "still have tabs on bottom" but don't have it swipe to Accuweather.com as could be accidental data costs. Swipe left opposite.

The Accuweather could be under view again for reason above, i know that it's linked to 5 day.

Nicer weather icons "Beyond Invisible" or the likes.

Being able to choose a custom wallpaper, colour background

Text Black or White or even more...

Thankyou for a cool light weather app

Thanks for your feedback.

Probably I should explain some program behavior and functionality. Program internally contains 6 links to the AccuWeather site for mobile devices.
2 implicit links - when you switch from the "Current" or "Today" tabs to the "AccuWeather" tab. In this case integrated web browser shows the correspondent and different weather info for each tab.
4 explicit links - on the "5 Days" tab named "Details". When you click on "Details" link you switch to the "AccuWeather" tab automatically and browser shows the detailed forecast information.

All these links are not accidental. This is a part of license agreement between me and AccuWeather for freeware products.

I like it! Its really good and as i have a limited data plan its handy as its so light.

I totaly understand what you are saying about license agreement

I'm just thinking about user freindlyness as the links could open up the page that is the 4th Tab to which would allow 3 x tabs bredth more finger friendly.. Same with swiping finger.

Oh just another little thing X could be minimize as if program closed then on open it searches data again on open, eazily fixed my side by adding to Task Manager Exclusive.

Thanks again for nice app

Sorry, I was confused by "swipe right", "swipe left" terms - you've imply finger gesture support. It was some misunderstanding from my side.

Thanks for a good idea.

Any chance for a german translation?

This is not a problem to translate the program UI to other languages (menu, some labels etc.) BUT the most valuable weather textual information retrieved from the AccuWeather site on English. I'll ask your question about translation to other languages to the their developer's support. I hope than on next week I'll gave you the more complete answer.

Thanks for your interest.

Very nice program. At least a light program that isn't a homescreen plugin.

I've wrote the letter to AccuWeather developer's support and ask them questions about weather info localization. I'm waiting for answer...
In any case I'll post their answer to this thread.
Thanks.

Nice program - but has a bug

When choosing to see details, it points to search page at accuweather.com, instead of details of your city.

When you tap on "Details" program shows the detailed forecast information for particular day of current selected city. It doesn't search AccuWeather in this case. It directly going to the link retrieved earlier. Please, look on my older post where I've wrote about links to AccuWeather mobile site.
Program doesn't consume more traffic that it need. Some later I'll post my measurements related to this subject.
Thanks.

Weather4me localization

I've got a reply from AccuWearther about my program localization.
They said that 33 languages are available for developers.
But this service is not free.

Next my step: I want to contact with their Account Manager.
I'm interesting on how much they want and what agreements.

I want to keep the Weather4me as freeware with ability to end-users to support author by donations.
This help author in future development, tech support, etc.
I'm sure that people should be free in their choice.

Thanks to all.

problem

Looks really good application.

But I have a problem with it on my HD Dutty's v3.9. When i open it and go through the tabs the windows wait cursor doesn't stop and the pages are loading very slowly.The AccuWeather.com page doesn't load generally.
