• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Good free weather / radar widget for droid?

Just wondering if anyone has any good leads on some good weather forcast and radar for us droid users. Free would be really good. Right now I am using weatherbug and have used the weather channel. TWC was pretty decent but often did not update. Weather bug is a bit better but the sat maps don't seem to work.

What do you use?
 
I'm a big fan of WeatherBug. I like it's alerts, data, and how it works. I've used several apps, and keep going back to WeatherBug.
 
Do you use the free version or the premium version. I think the paid version is like 2 bucks

I used the free version for about a year on my G1, and then paid for the premium version when I upgraded to the Droid. The features are exactly the same, the premium version just doesn't have the banner ad in it.

I use the small widget that shows current conditions (rain/snow/sun, etc.), and also really like how it shows the temp in the notification bar at all times. It updates automatically depending on where you are, including weather alerts based on your location. That's one of the features I really like.

On my G1 it used to eat the battery down, so I tuned down the updates. The Droid I've found to be so battery smart that I don't have that problem (I also try to plug it in when I drive, etc.).

Oh, and the other thing I really like is that you can configure custom locations and specific weather stations, so if there are stations you want to pay attention to you can add them (I have two stations configured near my house, one run by the elementary school and the other by some guy with a good Davis station).
