Exactly. I'll look into implementing that, but going on vacation tomorrow so 3+ weeks out.

I seriously believe this app should be free!

"I seriously believe" you can afford that 0.99$ or 1.49$ if you bought a Windows Phone device for xxx$...

The app costs over $200 per month to run. There is no reason for me to keep updating an app that I would take a loss on...

Do You SERIOUSLY judge the decision of buying an app by comparing it to the price you paid for your phone? If yes?then my review was not for you...

Really? 200$ ?

Yes. Look up the cost of weather APIs. Forecast.io is recording 90/100k calls per day.

Well worth the money

FYI: yr.no is the 5th biggest weather forecast provider in the world (and their database is supposed to be the most extensive one ....). And you can use their API and data for free.
Keep up the good work.

Enjoy your vacation and look forward to seeing more goodies. Do you plan to develop other apps?

Have plans to develop the following eventually:
- Newsreader
- Possibly a sports app (USA Focused with international sports)
I got this idea from watching the show "Dual Survival" (USA) and my own personal experience outdoors:
- An app that maps wilderness areas and provides trail listings with images and reviews, sort of like Google Maps for the woods. This would be a large project and US only, if not state restricted at launch. It would allow users to record trails to the database. I am busy with Atmosphere now and won't be able to get to this within the year.

I'll look into this, but most users preferred Forecast.io. If it has everything I need i'll consider this.

If you've decided to buy a phone for xxx$ then you should have known that you will have to pay another 20-30$ to set-up your phone with suite of quality apps to make the most out of your Windows Phone device. Don't try to convince the devs to make it free. They spend a lot of days and nights to create an app to make something for community. Demanding or asking to remove the price tag is just inappropriate and rude. If you don't agree with that, just head to the store and download other(free) weather app. END. Have a good day.

Re: [NEWLY RELEASED] Atmosphere - Advanced Weather App

Love the app, it's quickly becoming my main one and I purchased it shortly after downloading the trial. I understand you're on vacation in a matter of hours, but something to look at when you get back might be radar animation. That's the one thing missing that's keeping this from becoming my main, exclusive, "delete all the other weather apps to save space" app.

I would pay at least $0.99 for a good/polished newsreader (feedly style good)

That was actually scheduled for the last version, I even had a working animation, but I cut it for the next version because I didn't think it was ready for release. Obviously, it's coming. I just need to keep the existing radar as smooth as the UI.

Looks like it does most of what Atmosphere already does and could be a future option. I can afford to spend $200/month at initial launch, but I doubt I will 8 months in the future

Everything I ever build will be 0.99. I don't believe in advertising in app as I can't control the experience. Free is out of the question (Without IAP). I'm looking into making it similar in UI to atmosphere, if not better.
