Pros and cons of MeteoNews app for iPhone and iPad
MeteoNews app good for
only for Switzerland and France.
Provides highly detailed weather reports and predictions. Beautiful satellite animations, good database of webcam.
Much more accurate for Switzerland than the weather app included with the Iphone.
Very nice application, a bit slow but good details and great functionality.
Some bad moments
the most important thing is getting the forecast correct and you guys do not have good weather forecasts. Clearly your team members gave you 5 stars but you deserve 1 for effort, minus 2 stars for price, 2 stars for coverage, -3 stars for accuracy (your weather forecasts are NOT GOOD - they were incorrect in 19 out of our 22 tests!.
until they improve this app, do not buy it - go get something for free, like the one from Baloise or the search.ch folks...
Baloise is more accurate than search.ch but Baloise only provides a Nowcast (2 hours) and search.ch gives you less accuracy but 4 hours - both are free and both a MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THIS...
that said, webcams are cool but only on wifi and Baloise also has a bunch of webcams integrated into their forecast section
snow reports... well, you can try the Swiss Snow App instead AND IT IS REALLY GREAT... MeteoNews... what were you thinking? your App crashed on my iPhone 3GS twice today... poor quality poor, poor quality, please try again and maybe we will be here waiting for you
