MyWeather Mobile Update Provides Enhancements

In case you missed it, AYAAW reviewed two of the top paid iPhone weather apps last week. Check out our full iPhone weather app Smack Down in the reviews section. We came to the conclusion

that both apps, MyWeather Mobile and Fizz Weather were worthy apps and that each had its own strengths and weaknesses. After publishing the article we were contacted by the fine folks responsible for bringing us these wonderful apps and were told of some upcoming enhancements for each.

The developers of Fizz Weather, Fizz Software, informed us that they are working with their weather provider to bring higher quality radar to Fizz Weather. If you recall, that was my biggest and pretty much only gripe with Fizz Weather. I'm looking forward to this.

The developers of MyWeather Mobile, MyWeather, LLC also informed us that enhancements were in the works that addressed some of its shortcomings. After approval, on Tuesday MyWeather Mobile moved to version 1.1 which includes a more detailed current weather screen. To access the screen you click on a little right-pointing arrow located next to each of the cities you have MyWeather Mobile set to gather weather info. The top portion of the screen flips to reveal the following:

Wind Chill/Heat Index
Dew Point
Humidity
Precip. Today
Wind
Pressure

Another new feature is the ability of the Trend screens to be viewed in landscape mode. This makes for much nicer viewing as you can tap on the timeline located at the bottom of the screen and see what the wind speed and direction, precipitation amount and temperature and sky conditions will be at any given time over the next 36 hours.

The new additions are certainly welcomed and bring MyWeather Mobile closer to Fizz Weather in terms of actual, readable weather data. Fizz Weather still gets our vote in this regard, however and we're eagerly awaiting its upcoming radar.
