MyWeather Dial

MyWeather Dial is a new weather app for the iPad, released last week. It’s definitely in the ‘light’ weather app category – as it contains just a fairly basic amount of weather information and no weather maps or in-depth data.

I’m a fan of simple iPad weather apps (Weather HD has been my favorite for a long time) so this one caught my eye immediately and I’ve been using it for a few days now. The app’s unique feature (hence the name) is the big weather dial that sits at the bottom center of its screen. This lets you hit the Play button and watch the weather forecast for the next 7 days play out hour by hour. You can hit Pause at any time or hit Rewind to return to current conditions.

Fizz Weather HD for iPad

Fizz Weather HD is one of the latest weather apps for iPad to hit the App Store; released just over a week ago. Fizz Weather itself has been around for years on various mobile platforms and the iPhone version has been in the App Store since 2008, shortly after the store launched.

I always liked Fizz Weather back in Windows Mobile days and also enjoy their iPhone app – so I was keen to give their new HD version for the iPad a look, and I’ve been using it for the last several days.

Weather Free for iPad

Weather Dashboard Free for iPad is touted as ‘the weather app that should have come on the iPad‘. It’s not.  It’s the free weather app for iPad that absolutely feels like a free app, except that it’s a fair bit worse than most free apps.

The screencap above shows the full extent of what you get with the app.  A slim amount of information on current weather conditions, along with temperature outlook (no forecast) for the next five days. That’s it – there’s nowhere to tap for anything further or more details.

Weather HD 

Weather HD is easily the most gorgeous weather app I’ve ever seen, and one of the most beautiful apps of any kind I’ve come across.

It currently offers a slim amount of weather information but presents it beautifully using high-definition videos.
