I suspect they lost a lot of business when they changed to the subscription pricing model.
Nowadays more devices are shipping with built-in weather apps, and Google does great conversion anyway.

$75 per year for the "fluff" is not a great deal IMO

This app has been free from January 2008 not bad app but to get the full version you need to upgrade to the pro version , but still its better than nothing its also on all platforms as well , wonder how many upgrade to the pro version

I wouldn't have thought that many.  Looking at the premium apps, FlightStats offers pretty detailed information for free anyway - I use it a lot!

i installed this app on my kaiser but it seems to open everytime i turn my phone on

[Thumper Net]

you can change the settings so it does not start up with the phone , then it will only open when you want it

WorldMate is much overpitched. You need to know that you will be bugged for pricey updates and one day if you do nbot pay for an update it stops working. Typical Israeli software which if you pay once you have to keep paying more and more and more for updates and additional sirvices without which the software is of very little use. However if your company ius Ok with that its a nice toy.

Does anyone know how to turn of the automated weather reports.  Setting all the notifications to zero doesn't work.  The automated weather reports freezes up my omnia and I have to soft reset each time.

I only use it for the currency converter.
