Reviewer: skizz

Pros:

Very nice, easy on the system resources, easy to use, lots of great features, nice skins to go along with it. No advertisements like some apps. Also i don't know what the thing is with the spyware, but i found none, so no problems there.

Cons: none that i have seen

Small Interface keeps the windows desktop clean.

Reviewer: Yvonne McKellin

Pros:

As a computer technician, i can agree with previous people describing the popular weather bug as spyware. Weather bug will ruin your computer in the long run and it greatly slows your computer down. Weather Watcher uses minimum memory and lets you tell it when to update. I've been using it for months.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cool program!

Reviewer: troy272

Pros:

Lots of information, low memory usage, free, no ads! The reason I DON'T use weather bug or recommend it is because of the ads (it's disputably considered ad ware). With this program you don't get any ads or any of that extra junk. What you see is what you get, which is how I like programs to be. Even if you're not all into weather, I recommend this program because it tells you a lot about what to expect, current conditions, severe weather warnings and a bunch of other stuff.  Give this program a try and you won't be disappointed!

Cons: what cons? I don't see any!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There’s just one caveat about this program for those of you computerphiles who are using a “dial up” connection to the Internet.  It may sound obvious, but unless you are connected to the Internet, this program has no way of updating the current weather prognostication.  So for ye who still manually connect to the Internet, please know that this weather program will only show the weather from the last time you were connected, until you’re back on the Internet.  Other than that, I hope you will enjoy using this free utility program as I already have.
