Weather Thermometer 1.0.0.0
In case you need a little helper to bring you this data onto your Windows Phone, there is a great diversity of options at your disposal. One of the possible choices is an application that goes by the name of Weather Thermometer.
Attractive looks and well organized layout
This utility comes with a really good looking GUI, that features a neat background and some inspired graphics to go with it. What's more, there are several wallpaper choices you can try, as there are 3 themes in all built-in Weather Thermometer.
All the functions and features are kept at hand, while the weather data is presented clearly in the well structured interface.
Unfortunately, there is a visible drawback that is represented by the presence of some animated ad banners that keep on changing continuously in the lower side of the screen. Sometimes, the adverts will appear in full screen, ruining the good feel of the app.
Basic weather details for the current day
This application can show the conditions and forecast for a single place at a time, so you can either use the automatic location feature or add a different place to view the weather data.
Besides the current temperature, inside the main screen you will also get the pressure value and tendency. A neat extra is the addition of the sunrise and sunset times that may be of use for many users.
Short term forecast and live tile details
Insofar as the prognosis for the upcoming days is concerned, Weather Thermometer is able to show you only the next two days.
The details are really scarce, as all you get are the high and low temperature values and a suggestive graphical representation that hints to the general aspect of the weather for the respective interval.
Pinning a tile to the Start screen will offer you the possibility to easily view the current conditions for the location selected inside the app, consisting of temperature, pressure and general aspect.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
This utility has a beautiful look, with several themes available and cool graphics, but the loads of aggressive adverts make it lose a couple of points from the visual perspective. |
Function5
The feature set is thin and lacking consistency, as only one location can be followed and very few weather details are on display. |
Security6
There are a bit too many areas of the system this app needs to look into without having a good reason to do so, as only for a couple of them the access requests are justified. |
Battery7
The power consumption is quite perceptible, as the utility keeps the battery usage at high levels most of the time it is running. |
Price6
Weather Thermometer is mainly suitable for those who want to view the current temperature and the general aspect of the weather, so its value is somewhat reduced. |
Compatibility9
Ready to function on most Windows Phone handsets currently available, this app only needs version 7.5 or higher of the operating system. |
