Daily iPad App: The Weather Channel

I have the iPhone app now and I think it’s great but I didn’t know there is an iPad app. I use the phone app every day though (like 10 times) and I’m a self admitted weather junkie. My co-workers tease me and ask me like 10 times a day: “What’s the weather doing today?” Since I know they’re teasing me I always say: “Look outside and you’ll know.” I found out while at work, (DISH Network) they are putting out a new receiver that has TV apps, and what is the app I’m most excited about? You guessed it, The Weather Channel On-Demand. The receiver is called the Hopper and it has the fastest processor available, 750 MHz so it can handle the best apps. I can’t wait and I’ll be getting it for my whole house since it’s a multi-room receiver and it has 250 hours of HD recording. I highly recommend the iPhone app though, and I also want to try the iPad interactive app; it sounds even more awesome.

Update is buggy garbage. The ads are the only thing that updates quickly.

By the time a tornado is on the map, you are already in OZ

I prefer Intellicasts weather app by WSI Corp. It has it all. Animated radar, favorite cities, extended forecasts etc. Plus it's free. It's a great app.

The biggest problem with TWC is that the radar is sooo slow to animate vs Intellicast or WeatherBug. I think Intellicast is the best on the ipad and weatherbug is the best on iphone/android

The new rewrite is HORRIBLE! I wish they'd put it back to the way it was. They're worried more about making it "pretty" than functional now. It's slow as molasses in January. I loved it before the latest update. Since then I've deleted the app and use Weather+ instead.
