After becoming the single best weather application for Symbian-based smartphones, Paragon Software decided it’s about time to reach wider audience, hence they launched their Handy Weather app for Java-enabled feature phones.
Here are some of the reasons/features why people buy Handy Weather, despite the fact they can get free weather forecast from a number of other sources:
- Celsius and Fahrenheit options for high and low day temperature
- Only 2.5 Kb per city forecast
- Temperature graph for up to seven consecutive days, and simultaneous forecast for several locations of the user’s choice
- Current condition (for most cities)
- 40,000 preset cities worldwide
- Well-designed animated graphics include traditional weather icons and text
- Wind direction, speed in mph, km/h or m/s
- Current pressure and humidity
- UV index, and other important features
Handy Weather costs $5.95 (3.95 EUR) with a three-month subscription or $14.95 (10.95 EUR) with a one-year subscription service via download. The app is compatible with all mobile phones supporting Java MIDP 2.0 — including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung and LG — and can work in different screen resolutions: 240×320, 176×220 and 128×160 pixels.
