SPB Weather: Reviews & Awards


PC Today, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2009 Reliable weather forecasts with SPB Weather The 2.0 update includes a 3D globe view with animated weather forecasts and a real-time satellite image of the sky.

Softpedia «If you are into traveling, then Spb's new weather forecast solution Spb Weather 2.0 is the perfect tool for you. No other Windows Mobile-compatible application has ever reached the level of complexity and eye-candy interface that this piece of software has.»

SmartphoneMag.com «Spb Weather 2.0, from Spb Software brings an animated, rotating weather globe to your WinMo device. I finally got round to checking it out and being duly impressed, figured a review was in order. You might ask why use a full stand-alone app, when there are plenty of decent weather plug-ins already? For starters, this one is easy-to-use, and works well!»

4WinMobile «Spb Weather 2.0 is a fully featured and easy to use program. The addition of Foreca as a default weather source has seen the accuracy of my local forecasts improve significantly.»

pocketnow.com «Users of SPB Mobile software will be pleasantly surprised to see the new release of the SPB Weather 2. The new version sports a very sleek 3D interface that is similar in style to SPB’s Mobile Shell 2. This upgrade incorporates the same cube-like scrolling that has made their software so popular. With just a flip of the finger you can scroll over the entire Earth to select the weather of most major cities. The globe has 4 weather views that allow you to see either just the sky, a satellite view from space, a temperature scale, or a precipitation prediction through the next day.»

Clinton FITCH "It is a worthy upgrade to an already great program and one that Windows Phone users, especially those who travel, could find a real benefit in owning.The richness of the icons used in the application are fantastic and the ability to customize many aspects of the application - from the weather sources to the Today screen plug-in - make it customize to me and my uses."

PDAsoft.cz “Musím říci, že program Spb Weather 2 je velice kvalitní „rosnička“. Kromě již dříve zmíněných funkcí umožňuje i definici vlastního zdroje pro předpověď počasí. A tak po chvíli testování si můžete vybrat takovou předpověď, která pro vaše místo bude ta nejpřesnější.”

pocketnow.com «Spb Software House currently makes a good portion of what I believe to be the best software for the Pocket PC available. Whenever they bring out a new program, I have high expectations for it. Fortunately, they continue to bring out software that meets and usually exceeds my expectations. Spb Weather is a good example. This is the first weather program I've seen that gives a full 7-day forecast and the first that downloads up to 10 days ahead. It does everything I need a weather forecast application to do. Further, the integration into Spb Pocket Plus allows me to free up some resources. I wholeheartedly recommend Spb Weather to anyone who needs or wants easily accessible, easily readable, quickly updatable weather on their Today Screen.»

Pocket PC Thoughts «Over the past few months, I've watched Spb Weather grow from an idea to a final product, and I'm happy to see that after a lot of testing, it is now a joy to use. Spb Weather is a today plug-in designed to deliver the latest worldwide weather reports from a variety of weather sources and if you want, you can even create your own! Support for skins is extensive and units can be extensively customised. In addition, options such as frequency of updates, view modes, traffic statistics, and extended information can all be accessed, and lastly, if you remember the product integration feature that was discussed in Spb Pocket Plus 2.5, Spb Weather is another supported application, so you can save even more space on your today screen. Spb Weather can be purchased for $14.95 from Handango. A trial version is also available.»

Pocket Goddess «Spb Weather is a handy little utility that makes my life easier. Instead of trying to catch the forecast on the radio or TV, or even just surfing to one of the popular weather web sites, all I have to do is press the power button on my Dell Axim X51v. I can't think of anything I would like to make it better, but I'm sure that the good folks over at Spb will probably come up with something for future releases.»

Pocket México «Spb Weather sin duda es un aplicacion sencilla pero que se integra muy bien a la vida cotidiana. Con este clima tan cambiante es importante saber si se pronostican lluvias o si hara frio o calor para salir bien preparados de casa. Spb Weather se integra perfectamente con Spb Plus por lo que aquellos que cuentan con esta aplicacion pueden agregarlo a las pestanas de plugins de la aplicacion.» (Spb Weather is no doubt an easy-to-use application that can be greatly integrated into your daily life. In our changing climate it's so important to know if it will rain or if it will be cold or warm before leaving the house. Spb Weather perfectly integrates with Spb Pocket Plus, so users of this application can add it as a separate tab of Spb Pocket Plus Today plug-in.)

Mobile Bytes «SPB Weather only does one thing but it does it pretty well. It's a plugin for your today screen which will automatically download the latest weather conditions as well as the extended forecast»

Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com! «Overall Spb Weather is an excellent application and well worth the small purchase price of $14.95 (US). Like all of the other Spb Software House applications, Spb Weather is backed by outstanding customer support that is both timely and courteous. There are other weather related applications that do have a deeper included city database but none that we have used here at Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com! are as fast nor provide as accurate weather information. If you are a Windows Mobile user who needs weather information at a glance, Spb Weather should be on your short list of applications to purchase.»

PPCCool.com «SPB Weather est un excellent produit, rapide, fiable et superbe à l'oeil. On peut regretter l'absence de skins animées (gouffre à ressources, mais peut-être utilisables sur les PDAs les plus rapides actuels) et le prix assez conséquent (14.95$), mais c'est vraiment pour chercher la petite bête. J'ai apprécié tout particulièrement l'intégration très réussie à SPB Pocket Plus, la qualité des skins présentées, les nombreuses options de visualisation, et la consommation très faible de ressources. Si vous cherchez un plug-in Today pour la météo, je vous conseille d'au moins essayer SPB Weather, et si vous êtes un utilisateur de SPB Pocket Plus, alors il serait vraiment dommage de passer à côté.» (SPB Weather is an excellent product, fast, reliable and superb to one's eyes. One can regret the absence of animated skins (it takes more resources, but probably usable on fast PDAs) and rather consequent price (14.95$), but is really a nit-pick. I especially appreciated very successful integration with SPB Pocket Plus, the quality of the presented skins, many visualization options and very low consumption of resources. If you seek a Today plug-in for the weather, I advise you at least to test SPB Weather, and if you are a user of SPB Pocket Plus, then it would be really a shame to miss it.)
