Just Renewed the annual membership for 3 More Years! It's that good.

Much better than the free version which has too many popup ads.

Plus is ad-free & I can display the weather where my relatives live, all around the country.

1.0 out of 5 stars Major Disappointment, March 5, 2005

By 

rollingwood - See all my reviews

This review is from: WeatherBug Plus (CD-ROM)

Our new WeatherBug Plus is apparently permanently in ad-supported mode. A local television station is advertised in the upper right-hand corner of the program. A first email to customer support garnered a response complete with a place from which to redownload the program, which did nothing to solve the program, nor did I need this information since I have the program on CD anyway.

One week later I am still waiting to hear a response to my second email; the ad is still there. In sum, it is NOT ad-free insofar as I can tell, and customer support has turned out to be useless. Perhaps all Plus-versions have some advertising despite their claims. Beats me!

So if you don't mind the ads, buy it, but ours is going back to the store.
