The Weather Channel® for iPad Gets A Killer Update!

While a mobile device and app junkie by nature, I usually dial up the weather channel on the web, but not anymore. The update The Weather Channel for iPad app has gotten is super cool with loads more functionality, by far making it one of the best (if not the best) FREE weather application for the iPad. New in the latest iteration, released today:

• Gorgeous animated weather backgrounds for your local conditions (iPad 2 devices)
• Beautiful HD weather photo backgrounds
• Interactive spinning globe with the world’s weather
• Full screen, customizable weather maps
• Latest news coverage, expert tweets, and user photos
• iOS 5 compatible

I updated this app on my iPad 2 and it is awesome. My chief complaint with the website is it never remembered me (sad I know). I just never took the time to make it remember me. Fortunately, the iPad app uses your location so impatient people like me can get the weather for their location ASAP. The new HD graphics and the globe are excellent and will probably stop me from hitting the weather channel up on the web from here on out. What did you think of the update?
