Weather To-Go 4.1.5.0
The active users, who are often on the go, will most likely resort to dedicated mobile solutions that they can carry with them in their back pocket.
Among the numerous apps that are created to fit the needs of Windows Phone users, Weather To-Go is a utility that aims to provide a set of useful weather details for any region on Earth.
Cool graphics for an easy to personalize interface
This particular application offers a nice interface that features high-quality graphics and images from end to end. The weather details are presented in a very well organized and easy to read manner.
The wallpapers on which the weather data is presented can be changed with minimal efforts and you can use as background the photos in your personal gallery or opt for the Bing image of the day.
You can also pick one of the 5 icon styles available inside Weather To-Go, modify the tile and text styles or pick a different layout for the live tile displayed inside the Start screen.
When selected as lock screen provider, this app also offers several customizations, so you can choose the number of days on display, the details and, just like with the live tile, preview the modifications before applying them.
Add locations and view weather data
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.
If you allow the utility to use the location service and fund your current position, you will receive the weather data after the GPS localization is finished. Unfortunately, in the trial version only 3 locations can be monitored.
The current weather info includes the temperature, humidity and pressure values, as well as the wind speed, the cloud coverage, the visibility, the sunrise and sunset times. From the main menu hosted at the bottom of the screen you can show the windchill or dew point values.
Long term forecast and map views
With Weather To-Go you can check out the current weather warnings for the selected locations and, more importantly, check out the respective places through a satellite or road map. There is even a mixed mode for both styles of maps.
The weather details for the full 5 day interval that are offered by this application include the basic info that consists of a short summary of the expected conditions, the maximum and minimum temperature values, the wind speed and direction as well as the precipitation quantity

Function7
There is only a limited amount of weather data provided by this utility, which is also limited in terms of locations it can host inside. |

There is a quite noticeable power consumption when Weather To-Go is running and the battery usage remains at very high levels. |
Price8
Overall, the application offers a very nice way of checking out the weather conditions, but it has a steep price tag compared to other tools. |

Most Windows Phone users will be able to have this tool installed onto their handsets, as it only needs version 7.5 or higher of the operating system. |
