WeathrClip at Mac App Store analyse

It’s an OK app, but one thing it does is annoying enough to make me stop wanting to use it. For some reason it apparently sometimes has trouble getting the weather data, and when that happens, it pops up a window telling me something to the effect of “can’t get weather for this location, please choose another location”. Thereby interrupting whatever Im doing, forcing me to click to make the dialog go away, and being very unhelpful (I don’t WANT weather for another location!), and all needlessly so — If I’m not looking at the weather, I don’t particularly care that it is having trouble getting the weather, right? It could just put “??” up in the menu bar and give you an error message if you click on that to look at the weather. Otherwise why annoy the user? I’m tired of it. And really all I want is the temperature in the menu bar anyway; I can easily get weather details in my browser when I need them.

Looked forever to find a menu bar app that will let me view my PWS and others. This will do just that!

WeathrClip has been my go-to for the last five years. Lately there have been problems and more problems. First, it would never find my location and the developer said it was a problem on the weather source’s end. Ok, fine. That problem eventually cleared up. Now, it never refreshes when I wake my laptop. I have to manually selection a location since it seems unable to find mine anymore. I tried emailing the developer at the address listed above in the product description, but it bounces back to me with an “unknown user” error. What gives? I miss WeathrClip!

WeathrClip presents an instant, compact display of current weather conditions surrounding your chosen location, including current temperature, daily range, dew point, sky condition, sun rise/set times, UV, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, relative humidity, and an animated weather map (which can be suppressed). The data is drawn from weather stations in the selected area, and updated at a user-specified interval. Click on the sun/cloud/moon image in the upper area to see a history of the conditions. When running, an icon is placed in the menu bar. Click the icon to see the display. The weather map appears to show a radius of up to 120 miles or so around the current location. It cannot be zoomed in/out, but the “WU" button opens the Weather Underground web site in a browser, where maps and more detailed information can be found. I appreciate the immediate display of the map and local conditions, without having to go to a weather site in a browser. The product support is great. In several years of use, I’ve had a question or issue twice, and the developer has responded quickly and attentively.

O aplicativo funciona bem... mostra a temperatura e os correspondentes ícones do tempo, mas a imagem animada do mapa no modo satélite (Animated Radar) não aparece!

A perfect addition to my iMac; displays all the right info. This ones a keeper.

THIS is the weather app I finally chose after trying a dozen others. What I want in a weather app - that I wasnt getting in others - is: 1) unobtrusive menu bar presence displaying just the temperature now. 2) ability to quickly access more detailed info such as a 3 or 5 day forecast, radar map, precip, uv, etc. 3) attractive, classy color graphical display 4) quick installation and simple simple simple prefs! Weather Clip delivers all of the above. Im totally happy with it.
