We just heard that Bellshare GmbH, makers of BerryWether, have just released a free, slimmed down version of their best selling premium BlackBerry application.
BeWeather Free includes the following features:
- AD FREE!
- Current conditions including “Feels like” temperature, wind, pressure, dew point, humidity.
- 5-day forecast with high/low temperature and precipitation probability
- Easily switch between 2 different views Today with Daily Forecast and Compact Daily
- Customizable homescreen icon showing current conditions
Needless to say, the full version of BerryWeather has signficantly more features than BeWeather, however, BeWhether works well, looks nice, and is, of course free. I’ll be sticking with WeatherBug on my BlackBerry Storm, but, if you’re looking for a decent, free weather application for your BlackBerry that doesn’t have ads, BeWeather may be worth checking out.
