Android App review: Moxier World

Android App review: Moxier World

I think the Weather Channel may have just been dethroned as the coolest, sleekest weather app for Android. Moxier World doesn't have the handy tabs for current conditions, hourly forecast, thirty-six-hour and ten-day forecasts that the WC app has. But the graphics are more polished; from the icon to the flick-able city list and beautiful weather illustrations. It does relay a five-day outlook in addition to the current weather.

Moxier is also a world clock. It's pretty convenient to have rapid access to the time and weather conditions for everyone you care about around the globe. Weather Channel adds video, GPS functionality, and probably hosts more practical features. But Moxier World is a lot more fun to use, and glossy graphics almost always serve a phone well. Whichever you prefer, Weather Channel and Moxier World are definitely the top contenders.

The program is known as WorldNow in its iPhone incarnation, seen below.

It would be great to see more top-shelf apps, but the existing good ones get updated all the time. I have what I need. Even though there is a lot of useless stuff in there, I've found some nice surprises. A tinkerer gets a chance and finds a calling. I like the loose format, but I agree about the comments. I just wrote about that, and It will be up in the next few days. I think a filter would be appropriate.

I think this is a great program! I have replaced the weather channel with it. I just wanted to tell john, noah and the rest of the phonedog team "THANK YOU" for all of the application reviews you have been doing. As a G1 owner I must say that our marketplace is hurting right now. I lose interests in what I am doing long before I find anything useful while sifting through most of the crap that people write, applications and comments alike. Thanks to you I get app reviews that I can read without any hatred, profanity. Or anything else that will make my day a little worst off. Thank you so much!
