APP OF THE DAY: AU Weather Pro

Sources weather data direct from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology

AU Weather Pro
Cost: $2.99 | Developer: mobilewares.net | Platform: Windows Phone 7 | Version: 2.1.0.0 | 5 MB |

You could get a generic weather app that haphazardly sources weather reports from around the world, or you could get a single app that focuses on just providing Australian weather.

AU Weather Pro is that app, and it achieves that function by sourcing weather data direct from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

Whether its the latest weather observations, forecasts, radars, or tide predictions, it can be easily and painlessly accessed from the app’s Metro themed user interface.

Addition of Mango support means that the app makes use of Live Tiles, so your tiles are instantly updated with information without needing to run the app, and the tiles that can be further customised from several different designs.

If you regularly access certain types of weather information, you can flag just about anything with the in-built favourites system.

Pros: Comprehensive and accurate reports.

Cons: This accuracy does not come free.

Verdict: If you want a well designed and accurate weather app, AU Weather Pro is what you're looking for.
