One of the most useful features of a smartphone is its always-on capability that can be used to quickly determine all kinds of relevant data. Finding out a weather forecast has always been a very important thing for me – a dedicated program like Handy Weather can speed this up significantly…
HandyWeather’s main screen consists of a chart showing the weather forecast for the next 5 days for each of the selected cities(scroll left and right).
Pressing Center once allows you to switch to ‘night graph mode’. In night graph mode, the program shows a graph of forecasts for the 5 upcoming nights:
Today gives a bit of extra info on the weather of the current day:
Tap Current Status to see the ‘current status’ as of the last update:
Adding a city is easy. Handy Weather displays a list of countries; select one of them to see a list of available cities:
Forecasts can be sent to other users via email and SMS – this is a really outstanding feature I use very often to inform comrades about the weather:
Handy Weather can be customized widely via the ‘Preferences’ menu. It can e.g. be set up to work in celsius or fahrenheit scale:
The program can automatically update itself in predefined intervals, too:
This review looked at version 4.01 of the program on a Nokia N71. The program has worked reliably in the review period – no crashes,…
Overall; Handy Weather does exactly what it should – give a ‘basic’ weather forecast. The program does not give the fancy information given by programs for other platforms; but it gives you all important data you need… The price of 14.95$ is justified!
