Weather & Time 1.2

A versatile application that is prepared for more tasks than simply providing weather forecasts
There are plenty of tools that are meant to help their users check out the current weather conditions and see what is in store for the following days, regardless of the platform used, desktop or mobile.

For Windows Phone owners the choice is also varied, as the specialized applications come in a fair number and offer varied functions. Weather & Time is one of those utilities that brings a little bit of extra functionality apart from what its name suggests.

Tidy and well organized front-end

This app offers a very nice appearance, thanks to some polished graphics that will make the whole experience more enjoyable. The content is presented in an easy to read manner, with all the information available at a glance.

Going from one section of Weather & Time into another is relatively simple, but there are some minor glitches here and there, while the mode of navigating among the screens is less intuitive.

A major downside you will surely notice is the fact that when trying to select a different city to lookup the weather, the list doesn't include any names, as it only contains some strings of text that seem to be some programming leftovers.

Basic weather information at a glimpse

The utility doesn't offer too many details about the current or upcoming conditions, so you will have to do with the current and maximum temperature values and an icon that is displays the general aspect of the weather.

The hourly prognosis is just as limited in terms of details it provides and the intervals are of 3 hours, as shown in the nicely designed graph that contains the estimated temperature and the general aspect for each period of time.

Add multiple cities and keep track of important events

Weather & Time can accommodate several locations on the list of followed cities, so you can easily switch them whenever needed. The new entries can be inserted only using the built-in search mechanism.

A neat extra feature of this app is the ability to set reminders for various events, so you will receive notifications at the specified time. The calendar function makes it possible for you to create the events for any upcoming date.

Bottom Line
Design / UI0
 

The clean look of this application and the smooth graphics are not sufficient for it to score top marks because of the inherent glitches that are encountered even from the first use.

Function0
 

The weather details are scarce and the update interval too long, while the extra capabilities, of calendar and notifier are the only ones that save Weather & Time some points here.

Security0
 

The utility remains fairly discreet while it is running and it only needs to access the multimedia libraries for some reason, unrelated to its functionality.

Battery0
 

The app uses quite a bit of power while running, so the battery usage is fairly high at times, but not exceedingly so, as is the case with many similar apps.

Price0
 

This application doesn't offer too much from the point of view of weather info, but its extras are the ones that make it worthwhile.

Compatibility0
 

Most Windows Phone devices out there can run this app without any issues, as long as they are powered by version 7.5 and higher of the operating system.
