iWeather Lookup for the iPhone and iPod Touch Video Review

I can't wait to tell the grandkids I once lived in an age before The Weather Channel: that there was a time when knowing the current weather was near impossible (beyond going outside) and knowing what the future held involved a woefully outdated newspaper forecast, or a forecast on the radio sandwiched between ads and an annoying DJ (I used to be one, so I can say that). My, how times have changed. The weather app sector is probably one of the ten most competitive areas of the app store. Today we look at one of the top contenders: iWeather Lookup.

While other apps give you the same basic info you can find in other forms, iWeather Lookup goes beyond that, giving you moonphases, sunrises & sunsets, dewpoints, and average temps along with the three-day forecast, all on one cluttered screen. Additionally, another screen will give you radar, infrared, and even webcam info for that city. (See our bad webcam example in the video review.)

The cluttered, information-overload layout of the app won't be attractive to all, but to the weather afficionados who want the most information in one glance, iWeather Lookup delivers.
