N9Apps: Meecast (Best Weather App EVER!)

I said one a week, so am pushing this back a week. This is just awesome! I’ve used AccuWeather since I first got my N9, mainly as it integrated with the Events screen. I had tried MeeCast, and really liked the UI, but the integration with Events screen made AccuWeather the better option. For some reason today, I decided to install it again. AND I AM GLAD I DID!

MeeCast now integrates with the events view, as long as you uninstall AccuWeather. (Uninstall is done via Settings>Applications>Manage Apps>AccuWeather>Uninstall). It gives you a better looking (at least in my opinion) widget iconset. But it doesn’t stop there! This is where the app gets really cool.

You can add the same sort of icon shown in the widget on the standby screen as well. This will overwrite the Operator Logo of your device, but makes the Standby Screen more useful. After all, Marko said it’s there to give you “daily info at a glance”. (I don’t know the exact quote, but along those lines.)

The next cool thing is you can add the same icon to the lockscreen. Obviously, I don’t know if you would use both of these, but the fact that you can, is awesome. Move over Lumia and Live Tiles, the N9 has Lockscreen and Standby Screen Widgets.

Would be nice to see more apps utilising this sort of thing.
