The satellite shots are awesome quality. I love the way the GFS satellite predict is integrated also. Adding automatic animation would be a good idea. Also adding water vapor and other satellite shots would be nice. Beautiful app and I believe it will get even better.
This app uses GPS satellites to determine your position on the Earth and graphically shows you the predicted weather around your location for several days into the future. The weather forecast is calculated by a supercomputer that takes its input from yet another group of satellites. The prediction is transmitted in real time via a global information network to your portable handheld device which, incidentally, has the graphics and computational horsepower of a computer that, twenty years ago, would have cost a quarter million dollars and was as large as a dishwasher. Upweather gives you all this for the price of a pork tamale.
Exactly what I was looking for... very simple with no frills. This app provides the missing information that radar mapping can't provide.
Excellent weather app if you love satellite views. Easily worth three or four times the price.
