WeatherBug Elite for iPad Free for Limited Time

Adam's favorite weather app for the iPhone, WeatherBug Elite, has been expanded for the iPad, and for a limited time, it's available for free. We haven't spent much time with it yet, but it appears to use the iPad's larger screen to good effect, devoting most of the display to the map, and providing four zoomable panels for conditions, cameras, forecast and hourly forecast. The main missing feature appears to be pin dropping and display, but WeatherBug's developers tell me they just couldn't get it in for the iPad launch, and plan to add it to an update, due in the next month or so.favicon follow link

Great app, but no forecast information is provided for locations outside the US (i.e., Canada).

None at all, or just no hourly forecasts? That's how I read the feature list initially.

I can't get any forecasts to work in Europe - going to use WunderMap at least until this is fixed.
