Weather HD Lite - A little better than average
The Weather HD Lite by Clear Day app could be better, but is better than most free weather apps.
- It is visually appealing, seeing the animation of the type of conditions around you.
- The Menu Bar icon provides easy access, but the draw back here is that the first click on the menu bar icon only shows your your cities list with their current temp. To get more details you have to click on the city. It would be nice if your primary location always showed the detail and if you want to see one of your other cities, click on one of them.
- The application window is decent, but I would like to be able to shrink the window smaller than they allow.
- The text of the conditions being viewed should be toward the top or centered to make it easier to see and read and not at the bottom left as it currently is.
- The amount of detail is good.
- It is nice that there is a map to view with option for radar, but the map is quite useless as you can’t zoom in far enough to see just your city. The farthest you can zoom in is to your state.
- A view of the phase of the moon is available, but that’s more of a nice to have than anything that’s really important when all you want to see is what is the weather.
- Another good thing is the Severe weather button to see any severe weather in the forecast.
The two biggest dissappointments and reasons I won’t use Weather HD Lite as my primary weather app is because of the way it doesn’t show enough information when you click the Menu bar icon and the placement of the weather information in the applications main window.
