Here's one that does what BBWeather did (only better)...It's $9.98 per 6 month subscription, but it's cheaper than WeatherBug or TheWeatherChannel app. 1 month free trial.

Blackberry: T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve: World Weather by MicroHill Inc for T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve


Edit: I might even buy this one myself. I can't find a city that's not in there. No looking up ID's online or having to know the zip code. 45,000 cities worldwide. It even knew Fort Deposit, Alabama!

Wirelessly posted (Verizon 8830)

What about using webshortcuts and bookmark your city on weather.com?

I've done that with webshortcuts and weatherunderground, I just wish the icon would not reset each time I reboot.

Stinsonddog,

Thanks for taking this cause up. BB Weather was my favorite app, by far...

I've made two attempts to contact the original author... less than 10 hours ago.

I'll report back if I hear from him.

**this thread stickied for now**

As I posted in another (now locked thread) on this topic:

I use Viigo to pull RSS feeds from Weather Bug. This allows me to have up to date information and Viigo can be setup for multiple feeds (i.e. different locations).

Viigo is free.

NOTE: In Viigo; Add Channel > Local Traffic, Events & Weather > Weather . This will bring up the wizard to add your location and build the RSS address for you.


Step 1.) Search > Step 2.) Post
Skipping Step 1 can be fatal.

Anyone know if MyCast plans on adding support for Sprint 88xx or 83xx models? I took a look at their site but I don't think it's updated very often. Tried calling and might as well have been trying to get through to the Pope. Nothing but a hassle...

The problem with Yahoo's weather API is that it only gives a forecast for 1 day. Google's weather API looks a little better, it gives forecasts for 3 days.

I don't currently have the blackberry SDK installed but I might have time to look into this sometime in the next two or three weeks.

tateu, thank you. Users love that application.

I have sent you a PM as well, in that regard.

Is Viigo just a plain text program or does it display the pictures with the weatherbug rss feed? It's just hard to let go of the slick bbweather interface (at least without paying for it).


Customer: "yo, man you got dat blueberry junk"
me: "yeah, it's right over there beside those greenteef headsets"

It's through Handango and I didn't want to install their app on my BB to get an OTA link. There is a DM version link in the other thread.
