WorldWeather...BBWeather Alternative (subscription based) -

I've been looking around today for the best replacement for BBWeather. BBWeather was a staple for most BlackBerry users but has been rendered useless because Weather.com has their own app they'd like to sell you for $35 per year. Their app is nice although I don't think it's worth $35 per year. WeatherBug is very nice but they want $39 per year.
I ran across WorldWeather on Handango and thought I'd give the 30 day free trial a spin. It's $9.98 per 6 months ($19.96 per year) so quite a bit cheaper than Weather.com or WeatherBug and gives the basic functions.
It can access weather for 45,000 cities worldwide with no need to lookup weather ID's or zipcodes. Simply start with country, then state/province and then lastly the city. I have yet to find a city that is not in there. It doesn't, however, have the changing icon on the homescreen like WeatherEye.
It gives Current Conditions as well as a 4 day forecast and has the ability to save multiple cities in "My Lists." Personally, I like this app and am considering purchasing it as I need something for travelling.
