Expert's Review
WeatherBug is a very complete app that shows the weather information of wherever you are. As expected, you can add more locations on your list. The app's main board specifies the current temperature, as well as the highest and lowest for the day.
In the bottom menu you can access to an extended forecast for the following six days, a Worldwide satellite image, the possibility of a camera image for the selected location, a video of Rachel's WeatherCast in the U.S, and weather alerts which may not be available for your location if you're from outside the U.S. A help section is also included, which might help you understand the application better.
Moreover, there's a much more specific condition section with further information about temperature, precipitation, wind, sun, humidity and pressure. If you're from the US, you will also have access to Pollen Data.
WeatherBug was created by WeartherBug Mobile and, as you may have noticed, it only has a few other weather-related apps in the market.
If you're from the U.S and looking for a good weather service for your smartphone, you may want to try this one. If you're from somewhere else, you can also download it but you won't be able to use all the features.

Great app, especially the quickness of retrieval. I use this app daily and on my hunting trips. Saved my butt last year when severe storms rolled in at three in the am, as the alerts went off.

Very smooth compared to the previous version. Spark is a great new feature.

Horrible update. Ruined everything. Will probably remove as it is messing up every function of my phone.

Latest update broke the app. Fails to display info on status bar and will not update weather conditions.

Every time I go to the 7-Day forecast, all the text changes to strange symbols.
