A really great weather app

Accessibility Still Rock Solid
Weatherbug Elite
Version 2.00 is now out
Improved Accessibility in Version 2.02
WeatherBug version 2.02 is out, and it appears as though a lot of the accessibility issues introduced in version 2.00 have been addressed. There are little things, obviously, but it needs to be said: bravo to the developers for going the extra mile to make their app accessible!
Weatherbug Elite
As of March 19, 2012 the Weatherbug Elite has not been updated to v2.0.2 in which I'm waiting for. This version is more accessible than before. Good job!
Version 2.2
They have made more changes in how the Current tab is presented. I believe it is a better update and made the alignments a bit easier to navigate around. Still highly recommended by me for wanting great details about many things you want to know about weather. For those that just want a very basic weather app check out the Check The Weather app which I also highly recommend.
What's New in Version 2.2
-NEW User interface refreshed
-NEW Spark lightning alerts
-NEW Enhanced usability
-NEW Improved user interface
-NEW Home screen tiles for quick navigation to map and lightning alerts
Don't Bother With This App

Version 3.5
Unfortunetly, whith the bran NEW UI interface has only made things less useful for the visuall impaired community. It had once been one of my most favorite weather app. Sadly that is not the case for some time. There are some unlabel buttons with in the app. Missing elements. Poorly label buttons and so much more. Perhaps, I am missing someting but the Push Notification area I was unable to set up. Along with other issues. So I know in the past this developer has tried to make this ore accessible for us. I hope that they will continue to do so and improve things for us to use.
