“WeatherMin is a nifty app that’s very “Apple”: It’s elegant and minimalist, but it’s quite useful for those who just want to keep an eye on the weather. And in my testing, it used very little memory and processor resources—something that can’t be said about many of the other weather apps I’ve used.” - Macworld.com
Please note that the current version of WeatherMin uses a data provider which only supports US locations. International support is coming soon in the next free update!

Perfect
Revising my one-star review since new version fixes crash.
This app is perfect for me. Quick glance at the screen for current conditions without even having to bother with dashboard.
App should use 1 hour gridded forecasts, not 3 hour
Overall a nice app. The app is using NWS gridded forecasts. I work for the NWS and this app needs to use the one hour gridded forecasts. This app is using the 3 hour grids, so for example the temperature at 6 pm will be the same for the 7 pm forecast and 8 pm forecast, before changing for the 9 pm forecast. If they use the 1 hour grids, the temperature forecast would change every hour, not every 3 hours.
temperature is way off
Beautiful, simple icon and interface, so it's a shame it always says it's in the 40s F in Los Angeles.
A fix or a refund, please -- this is overpriced to begin with and at $4.99 it shouldn't be off by 10-20 degrees!
*updated to 2 stars, I thought this was fixed but it still is not. get Farensius instead - same functionality, the temp is accurate though -- and it's free).*
