orton1 reviewed v2.2.3.0 on Sep 23, 2009

After struggling though all the recent updates and bug fixes 2.2.3 is working OK......HOWEVER, severe weather alerts function still does not work. Developer advises that the fix will require a complete rewrite of the program and offers no time frame, so don't hold your breath.
Every weather app out there has severe alerts, without them the program is worthless.

Steve1209 reviewed v2.2.3.0 on Sep 10, 2009

OK they fixed the program today. Pretty sloppy testing procedures, support told me there was a compilation error with v2.2.2.0. It's working again now!

Steve1209 reviewed v2.2.2.0 on Sep 9, 2009

OK this version is another failure, I finally got V2.2.1.0 working, SUPPORT was useless in helping me resolve that problem, they did NOT have a clue. Now a new problem with this version, it gets into a failure loop, it fails, it asks to send a report, which I try, it tells me I do not have a default mail client to send the report (My default client is GMAIL and it WORKS), you can not get out of the loop, I had to revert to V2.2.1.0, Wait for the FIX if you use windows XP SP3

Always on every computer I create for myself/business and friends. Don't believe the negative crap here from the same guy over and over, try it for yourself.

I try others over the years, but Weather Pulse always outshines them. Even when it had quirky bugs. Love capacity to add more weather maps. New weather desklet pro add-add-on kicks butt on anything out. Still the best one around!

I revise my review. The reason the new install doesn't work so well, is the old UN-install leaves "CRAP" behind. Not only do you need to go to ADD/REMOVE programs and remove. You need to delete C:\Porgram Files\Weather Pulse, I then ran CCleaner, I reinstalled and now it's working as it was!! Remove ALL reminets before the new install!!

The new version has problems. I installed it on my Windows XP SP3 machine. On reboot it doesn't start in the system tray even when I have start with windows. Worse than that it hangs my machine on shutdown and I have to Hard powerdown, it never had these problems until the new installer came out, don't bother with it!

Loses two stars because of admin rights required to run. Very sloppy.

Folder Example:

where Example is the user you would like run it under.

I am using Winxp Pro.

Again NOTHING should require admin rights to run and in rare circumstances to even install.

y0himba reviewed v2.10 Build 8 on Apr 27, 2009

Still trying to keep his adware in the spotlight, there are no real changes to this decrepit, ad infesting, resource hungry, worthless piece of software. Stay away from this one, and the sketchy author as well. As several reviews state below, the software is poorly built, inserts advertisements in the form of "videos" which he creates, and the author is a sketchy individual preying on new and less than knowledgeable Internet users.

If you look at his "rating" system on the program's web site, he removes anything negative and attempts to ban the person/IP address from the site. He cannot even accomplish that, I wouldn't be surprised if he stole this code from someone. STAY AWAY.

Ed_P reviewed v2.10 Build 7 Beta on Sep 26, 2008

Weather Pulse was my original favorite weather app. However the interface is showing it's age and if you try to communicate that to the author on his website you get banned from posting. Even if you donated to his efforts originally!!

I suspect Topic Design is no longer involved and someone else has taken over the website and possibly the app.

Too bad really. It was a very good app at one time.

y0himba reviewed v2.10 Build 7 Beta on Sep 2, 2008

No real changes, just an attempt to put this back in the spotlight so the author can make money while foisting this off as freeware. It is not freeware, it is adware, and it is now junk.

y0himba reviewed v2.10 Build 5 Beta on Apr 21, 2008

The new version now includes an advertisement filled page created by the software maker, under the thin disguise of "future place for people to upload weather and outdoor videos".

best free weather program and ive tried quite a few of them. 1st there was weatherbug ((spyware heaven)), then i went to weather.com's version and and it froze a lot, then there was weather watcher which had a hard time closing. i also tried forecast fox tho accuweather sux. so i tried this program it has not only weather.com weather in it but a 10 day forecast as well as nice sound effects.

the only complaint i have is it sometimes is a memory hog but this is still the best free weather program that doesnt have any viruses or spyware in it.

EarlyMorningHours reviewed v2.05 Build 36 on Aug 7, 2006

Finally, this is starting to become stable. Which means I can finally make use of it. I really like the interface of Weather Pulse more than any other of the free weather applications I've tried, so for this to start being dependable is fantastic. I will say that this uses a fair chunk of RAM. If you have 1GB or more of RAM, it's obviously not a concern, but if you're at 512MB like a good deal of people out there, you may feel a little memory challenged. With so many resident applications and utilities each taking up from 5 to 30MB a piece, 512MB RAM is starting to feel a little ghetto.

EarlyMorningHours reviewed v2.05 Build 28 on Jan 10, 2006

I'm probably in the minority here, but I like the interface of this product than any other freeware weather utility out there. I'm giving it a couple of dings for being extremely buggy. I haven't given the latest build a complete hammering yet, but I really hope this becomes stable software sometime soon.

WeatherFreak reviewed v2.05 Build 27 on Nov 16, 2005

The interface is a bit weak when compared to other competing weather software. Weather Watcher's new interface is much easier to use, and is easier on my aging eyes.

To be constructive here, I'd have to recommend that Weather Pulse come up with some unique features. They seem to copy from other competing weather software. That's how they began, and they continue to do the same with every version released.

WeatherFreak reviewed v2.05 Build 26 Beta on Nov 7, 2005

This is just okay. I like Weather Watcher better because the interface looks nicer and there are more options to customize. Weather Watcher also handles the severe alerts better.

It gets a bad review because it sucks. Flopix says he had permission from twc to use their data, but that is a flat out lie because the program does not adhere to a single requirement laid out by twc's sdk. Sorry, but I don't trust any developer who steals data and lies about. I found a much better weather program that does have permission from twc, looks better and runs better. email me for the address.

After using WeatherPulse for over a year, while testing all of the other similar free programs, I can tell you that this is absolutely the best program out there.

Some others have badmouthed this software. I'm not sure of their motives, but I suspect they had bad intentions when they reviewed this software. Do not believe them.

For a while, the Microsoft Anti-Spyware Application found a problem with the WeatherPulse Uninstall program. Evidently, this was a bug in WeatherPulse and the author has fixed the bug, so if you have uninstalled WeatherPulse because it was reported as spyware, reinstall it with the latest version, 2.05 Build 26.

I love Weather Pulse but there is one thing that I don't like about it. For some reason I seem to et the same alert over and over and keep hearing the alarm sound. Once I get an alert that should be it until a brand new one comes out! Alos if I restart my pc I will always get the same Alarm again. Weather Pulse should remember that you alrady saw the alert. But its getting better all the time.

I'm in the middle on this one. I first tried Weather Pulse a couple of months ago and I loved it. However after the first Auto-Update things started going down hill. Even up to this latest beta version the problems still exist. What seems to happen is the program will crash while it's updating the weather information. The program itself and Windows both detect the error, but the program doesn't shutdown. It keeps running unresponsive.

This IS a good program. It just needs work. I'll certainly try it again once they release a "stable" build because despite that one issue this is the best weather program available.

I was happy for it for a while, but I ran Weatherbug at the same time. They were both doing different temperatures (off by a degree F), but that's alright. The problem I had was the resources both were using. Weatherbug maxed at 8mb, currently running at 4mb while Weather Pulse maxed at 25mb, currently running at 14mb. For a program that displays simple number in the taskbar, I'd prefer the less eye-pleasing Weatherbug over the resource-eating Weather Pulse.
I realize that both do more than tell the temperature, but I simply need the number so I can decide how to dress or if it's a good day to go swimming, while being lazy and not moving.

This is the best weather program I have ever used! It does everything I want it to do and more!

Nice application, i'll give 5 if they would include metric units (Celcius degrees)

well as far as weather pgms go this one does it's thing well. But how many times can you watch a weather point counter point??

roban reviewed v1.53.7.4b on Aug 18, 2003

This is the best weather program I have ever seen. It is fast as well as comprehensive. I just hope it remains free. Good work.

This program is by far the best freeware weather program out there. It has a good interface, and has no advertisements. A must have if you like to keep an eye on the weather.

--------------

Also, here are instructions on how to get the program to use metric units:

Metric can be displayed as follows.

In Weather Pulse, go to weather.com, from the link at the bottom of the forecast page or the 10 day forecast page.

Once there, scroll down past the 10 day forecast section. At the bottom the 10 day forecast are two radio buttons for
English units or Metric Units Click on the Metric Units radio button.

When you return to Weather Pulse, you selection will be displayed.

If the cookie gets deleted, it will go back to US measurements, so don't let a cookie manager delete the cookie or you will have to do it all over again..

Excellent weather program - with no annoying ads to contend with...quite superior to weather-watcher.. although weather-watcher is a good program...this one is far better.

*One short-coming the program has is in setting up city under preferences - When you select the city or cities you want to add...you then save them...then you have to exit the open window and yes in the new window again save the city you already saved in the previous step.....or the program won't do it's thing and update your weather...we find this part of the program to suffer from redundancy... to...do...to do...to..do..to...do...
Get the idea...Fix this short-coming and it will be GREAT...program...

Keep trying....

Excellent!

Many of you have down graded it because of metric but the program does do Metric. In Weather Pulse, go to weather.com, from the link at the bottom of the forecast page. Once there, scroll down past the 10 day forecast section. At the bottom the 10 day forecast are two radio buttons for English units or Metric Units Click on the Metric Units radio button.When you return to Weather Pulse click refresh and magic metric!

While the program looks good, *any* program that's dead set on only showing temperature in F really can't be used outside those old-timer countries who don't understand standardization ;-)

Had it had the option of displaying C instead, I'd give it another two notches - seems decent enough even if the dinky little tray number was hard to read - Weather Watcher's rather easier to read.

Looks like a good program, but it would be nice if it had proxy support so I could use it at work.

Dapumkins, you can if you d/l and install The Weather Channel's system try applet.

Dapumkins reviewed v1.53.6 Beta on Jun 3, 2003

sting, you can't see the current temp in an icon on your taskbar at weather.com ;)

This prog is great. It's even better than weather watcher.

sting reviewed v1.53.6 Beta on Jun 3, 2003

Works well but logging on to weather.com can do the same thing:-)

EXCELLENT! Gets 5 stars from me. (which is almost impossible)

Hellcat reviewed v1.53.5 Beta on May 28, 2003

great software, only 1 remark: could you please add support for degrees celsius?

bbhermit reviewed v1.53.5 Beta on May 28, 2003

There's a slight error, when I exit out of the icon in the system tray. I get "Access violation at address 0048DFC2 in module WEATHERPULSE.EXE. Read of address FFFFFFFF."
No biggie, just a minor glitch. I'm using a Compaq with a Duron 700 mHz cpu, under Windows Me.

tedbieri reviewed v1.53.5 Beta on May 27, 2003

I have tryed many of these weather programs and this is the first one that is easy and has everything in one spot. No spyware! Not a mem sucker! No ads. And FREE! 5 stars!

neslev2003 reviewed v1.53.5 Beta on May 27, 2003

Free , easy to setup and easy to use but......
no support for temperatures in Celsius

Nice app! It will make you think it is hung though when you first install it. Allow it about 5 minutes to get the weather info and images the first time. After that initial start, all is pretty fast and I like the display. I live in China and most weather apps will only get the currect temp. This gets all the data, forecast, satellite, etc.
Equal to programs costing up to $25.00 and best, it's free! Give it a try!
