Love this product: so simple and useful. I don't check weather apps anymore! :)

@yoavush I always have it running, never noticed any issues with it. Right now it's sitting at 14.2MB.
Turns out there are also iOS and Android versions following the same design aesthetic along with the Mac menu bar app. http://www.degreesapp.com
Just sits up there, providing the temperature where you are along with a conditions indicator. Clicking on the temp brings up a beautiful four-day forecast and expanded conditions including wind speed/direction and humidity. Simple but polished.
Love this - but one question: what source is it using? Weather Underground? Weather.com? I find that sometimes there's quite a difference in the two readings. It would be great if there could be a way to click on a day in the 4-day forecast and go right to the source.
@jason_weingardt I think they are using Yahoo's weather API. Clicking on the current conditions in the popup takes you to a Yahoo page with more details. I'd love to be able to specify a Weather Underground station (like the one we have on our roof at the office).
@jameskoole ah, nice find. Guess I was clicking in the wrong place. What's weird is Yahoo Weather for iOS uses Weather Underground, but Yahoo Weather on the web uses Weather.com.
Thank you for all the kind words! Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. We can't improve the weather but we can improve the weather app.
@arlogilbert Hey Arlo, what happened to Degrees? I was just getting ready to buy it in the App Store but was told it is no longer available in US.
This is lovely - I am pretty hesitant to install menubar apps normally, but this one more than deserves a spot up there to the right.
The idea is awesome, however, mine is stuck on the initial zipcode I used when I installed it. I tried changing the zipcode and it does not update.
Their support is amazing too, fwiw. For some reason it wasn't detecting location automatically, emailed over and was helped within 10 minutes. Although I had it fixed myself by disabling then reenabling the location detector.
