Smart Weather Free 1.8.4.0
Smart Weather Free tries to take this simplistic approach a bit further and develop it a bit, so as to offer sufficient data about the current and upcoming conditions in the classical way and also through toast notifications.
Fairly well designed interface
The looks of this utility are decent overall, as there are some really nice background images inside, but the graphics seem a bit unpolished throughout the application. The information is presented in an organized manner and moving from one section of the app into another is done seamlessly.
A noticeable drawback is the presence of some irritating ad banners that are continuously changing and follow you in every corner of the app. Also, after a few launches, you will come to meet some prompts that want you to rate and review Smart Weather Free.
Add the locations with minimal efforts
The application is quite easy to use and features a smart search engine that makes it possible for you to easily find the cities you are interested in and have them included on the list automatically.
Unfortunately, you cannot choose alternatives for places with identical names and only 2 cities can be added to the monitoring list until a purchase is made.
Check out the short and long term forecasts on the go
Smart Weather Free enables you to view a set of details that include the temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and wind speed, as well as the general aspect of the weather. In the "Forecast" section of the application you also have at your disposal the summary of the following 4 days.
The toast notifications and the live tile data provided by this app will allow you to stay up to date with the evolution of the weather while on the go.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The appearance of Smart Weather Free is decent and relatively common, the less appealing graphics and the pesky adverts taking a heavy toll on the points scored by the app. |
Function6
The amount of details offered by this application is insufficient, especially for the forecast for the next days, while the limitation in terms of number of cities to be monitored and the automatic addition of cities without the possibility to choose them individually are quite important. |
Security7
The utility is quite curious and needs to look inside many sensitive areas of the system, many of which are not related to its functionality. |
Battery3
There is a vast amount of energy consumed while the app is running, so the battery will deplete very quickly. |
Price5
There are a lot of better alternatives out there, many of which lack the restrictions and functional limitations of Smart Weather Free, so its overall value is reduced. |
Compatibility8
In order to have this application function correctly users will have to install it onto a Windows Phone 8 and above device. |
