The Weather Channel: not worth it - get WeatherBug

I had this app for a while and really liked the info that it offered, and comparing it to other weather programs seemed to have very good data (reliable).

however I noticed that it took a toll on my phone when i installed it. I looked in the services and saw that it had a service running all the time that used over 12MB of memeory. Also along with the last update the wide widget that I liked no longer displayed the weather forecast for 3 days, it only had 2. They had replaced the 3rd day with a weather channel icon. That was the last straw, I uninstalled it and my phone hasn't been happier.

I am now using weatherbug and am happy with it.
