The Weather Channel app/widget is about the most useless one I've used. I hate it.

Since the update to cl14 and the resulting reconfiguration of my phone, my Weather Channel widget shows the temp for my "home" in the notification bar. I got used to it and sorta like the radars available with it.I use WeatherBug Elite. "Follow me" is enabled but I only have "use network" enabled and not GPS. Seems to be pretty accurate at following my location, and has not noticeably impacted my battery life. Spare Parts shows only minimal partial wake usage by WeatherBug.
I've tried a number of weather apps, WeatherBug is the one I like the best so far. Keep in mind though, that when I use a weather app it's not so much to tell me what the weather is like at that moment but what the forecast is - so widgets that tell me the current temp and weather are mostly useless to me.

I use and like WeatherBug Elite. I like the small temperature notification, that way I don't have a widget taking up space. Easy to pull down and get more info if needed.
Is WeatherBug Elite worth the $1.99 price?? I'm thinking of getting it but not sure..
Favorite widget= Beautiful Home by beautiful widgets (clock + weather + temp + date + 1-click 3 day forecast + 1-click calendar access + 1-click alarm clock access + multiple skins) plus it has a few other widgets that come in the package.
edit: just realized that I had misread the title.
Save yourself the app memory and just look out the window...
