5.0 out of 5 stars Great weather app. September 24, 2011

By K Pauls

I was looking for just this kind of app for all my weather needs. Has real time radar and accurate temps. The 5 day forecast is on the spot also. Takes a little long to load, but may be the Thunderbird. Best free I've seen so far.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got working on Fire November 25, 2011

By Avid

I had the same problem of it taking my location and then doing nothing. I found that after entering location, if I hit the Fire " back" button, the app then showed the blue weather bar at the bottom, and the "refresh" and GPS symbols on the app title line. On pressing the refresh button, it loaded weather data! It had lost my location, which I re-entered on the app's "settings" page, and it now works great. I have always preferred this weather app over all others on my other platforms. Hope this helps others in getting it running on Fire as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Constantly On December 8, 2011

By PHL1111 VINE™ VOICE

There doesn't seem to be a way to terminate this program once you run it other than uninstalling it. Everytime I run this program and think I've stopped using it, it still is listed as an ongoing app on the Kindle Fire. Once I've checked the forecast I don't need to have it constantly running and using memory (even if it is minimal).
