Shit, it's 3° in Redmond? I better stay inside.
It defaults to Celsius, so you'll have to change it to Fahrenheit.

#22I installed it and all I see is a pink screen with my location and temp. Completely boring "app" google weather is far superior (in HTML and works on more than just my iPad)

#23Slick presentation, but simply takes too long to display data and seems buggy - caused my phone to freeze.

#24✓ Claims to be an HTML5 app ✓ Requires iOS for no apparent reason ✓ You must install to homescreen first, even if you are on iOS What does this do and why did you make the above decisions? EDIT: To get around this, open up your JS console, put a breakpoint on line 509 inside sunny.js and set `window.navigator.standalone = true;`. Things should be fine from that point on if you have "emulate touch events" turned on.
I don't think the snarky checklist is necessary and am pretty saddened you've got upvotes for merely stating the obvious in such a derisive way. We don't know the context in which the creator made this, and who is to say that just because something is written in HTML you have a God-given right to be able to run it in your desktop browser. I hope more apps like this do appear and push e.g. Android to sort out their ho…
Which homescreen integration would that be? With the exception of having the chrome (URL bar) hidden by default, Android can add webpages to the homescreen and treat the tile like a native app, already.
It isn't so much that we should be able to run it in our browser, it is that the author is intentionally looking for iOS, with the site added to your homescreen. Had the title been "HTML5 Homescreen App for iOS" I think people's expectations would be different.

Pinch and swipe, as it says.

#26Not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. I don't suppose that a nice picture of an iPhone == weather app.

If you would use Phonegap and put it up on the App Store, nobody would complain having to "install" it.
I can't talk for the creator, but I guess this app is meant to be stand-alone, launched straight from the homescreen (without address bar) and not as a regular website that you have bookmarked.

#28Looks lovely. Really swish animation. Brilliant showcase of HTML5 based apps. Shame it locked my entire phone up!?
Totally agree on all accounts. My phone locked as well.
Oh wow, it locked my iPhone (4S) too just now. Home and Sleep/Wake buttons stopped working and I have to force reboot the whole thing. The first time I add it to the homescreen, the page sort of borks. Second time I launch it, everything works but that's when the phone locks itself :(

What app you use to make screenshots with?

#30Don't forget to pinch out (kinda hard to discover), once you're on a location and you get a details view like this http://drbl.in/glDK
