NWSClient version 1.2 is now available for download. This version fixes a number of bugs, adds detailed hourly forecast data, and increases the size of the text in the app icon so that the temperature is more readable.
I’ve released a new version of NWSClient for Blackberry. New features include a link to a Google Map (if Google Maps for Blackberry is installed), and more customization options, including the option to have the current conditions and temperature displayed as the application’s name on the home screen.
The Google Map link is helpful to see where your location is relative to the current NWS weather station.
UPDATE 6/1/2009: The microscopic app icon problem has been resolved. The corrected version for Storm is v1.13.
UPDATE 6/1/2009: There’s a problem with the app icon appearing too small on Blackberry Storms.
Version 1.1 of my free Blackberry weather application includes the following upgrades and enhancements:
Current conditions are displayed as the application’s rollover iconThis update is available for over-the-air install here.
A build for the Blackberry Storm is available here.
A Free Blackberry weather app.
Back in August I upgraded my phone to a Blackberry 8330 “Curve” from Verizon. I was disappointed with many of the free weather applications on offer so I decided to write my own that uses data provided by the National Weather Service and Google to display weather information for the United States and most world cities.
The result of this work is NWSClient, a Java app that displays current conditions, forecast weather, and alerts and warnings. I am distributing this application for free under the terms of the Gnu General Public License.
Please download NWSClient and try it out. Documentation and features list are here.
