There is one thing that puzzles me about Weatherbug's application. Where is the screen / information about the current weather conditions. I can find the current temperature and wind direction, but nothing that tells me if it is sunny, rainy, snowing outside. The closest thing I can find seems to be the forecast only. That is the one thing I miss from the The Weather Channel application.What would you like to see? Basically a conditions icon that tells if it's rainy, sunny, etc., at your location? I could put in a request for it and see what we could do. Our meteorologists might be able to come up with this sort of thing. I don't believe our stations automate it.
I think I finally found the current conditions, but it is tiny. I would also like some words (Partly cloudy, sunny, t-storms, etc) with it. The same words that are displayed when you look at the information in the notifications window or the list of location.
Here is a rough markup.
For kicks and giggles, here what three weather apps look like on a 3.2" screen in landscape mode.
Weatherbug
The current verison of the Weather Channel app. When you compare the amount of visible information to the image below this one, this UI is not user friendly.
The Dish Network weather app (provided by the Weather Channel and uses the old UI of the The Weather Channel app)
Also, if you have your WiFi on, that can be used for location services as well. This can be much more accurate (when I'm at home, it shows my location as my actual address 
) but I've also heard of it throwing locations off, because, if you are within range of a WiFi signal (you don't have to be connected) and that person has recently moved, but is still using the same equipment, it may translate to their former address.
