Weather HD. Now Available for the Mac.
May 19th, 2011Weather HD, the iPhone and iPad’s top selling weather application is now available for the Mac, and brings the stunning beauty and design of Weather HD tailored and specifically designed for Mac OS X.
With forecasts all around the world and stunning high definition animations, Weather HD brings you the weather forecast in a stunningly gorgeous way. And with weather maps, severe alerts and notifications, it makes a perfect balance of features you’d need for knowing the weather on your Mac.
Stunning graphics, but it needs to be more useful! In particular:
1) Let me zoom in further on the maps—to my neighborhood, city, region, state…something closer than half the US and Canada—any basic weather map on the web lets you zoom in way closer than this.
2) Let me resize the map pane (esp. larger).
3) Let me set my default map view (clouds are not nearly as useful to me as radar is in the midwest, but that’s what you deicde I should see every time I start the app)—at least remember the one I selected previously.
4) The “NOW” temperature (under the Daily/Hourly selector) doesn’t seem to update—it still shows the temperature from this morning, while the pretty weather window overlay does have the current temperature and conditions.
