Weather Wallpaper for Windows Phone 8, lockscreen support using your images

Weather Wallpaper is a Windows Telephone 8 app that, as the title suggests, lets you integrate your local conditions data into your lockscreen wallpaper.

While other conditions apps are out there that offer lockscreen support, Astonishing Atmospheric condition HD comes to mind, Weather Wallpaper gives y'all the option as to which wallpapers to use. You lot can employ weather related images provided by Bing, Bing'due south image of the day or your own photo.

The user interface for Weather Wallpaper is simple, straight forwards and simply takes one folio. You lot have options to turn on/off updating the lockscreen, your choice of weather units (fahrenheit vs. celcius), choose your weather forecast location, and choose which image yous want to use.

Should you cull your own prototype, you'll exist taken to the Pictures Hub where you lot can choose an image, crop information technology and set it every bit your wallpaper.

The weather information displayed at the meridian of the lockscreen includes:

An icon illustrating the current atmospheric condition conditions
Current temperature with a "feels like" temperature
Forecasted high/depression temperature for the electric current appointment
Forecasted high/depression temperature and weather condition for the adjacent mean solar day

Weather Wallpaper also has Live Tile support that volition brandish the same weather data. Weather information is provided past Yahoo Conditions and data is updated twice an hr. Updates were a little on the dull side though and at times, painfully tiresome. There were times in which twice an hour was more like twice a 24-hour interval.

Weather Wallpaper's strength is that you can add weather information to your lockscreen without giving up your own images every bit the wallpaper. Information technology'due south a feature every conditions app with lockscreen back up should have.

While it'due south a overnice app in that location is room for comeback most notably with reliable updates.Conditions Wallpaper lacks whatsoever options as to what weather condition information is displayed or how frequent the data is refreshed. Also, the Alive Tile is a petty on the dull side displaying data only on ane side of the tile. Yous can't help but feel the Live Tile is missing something.

It would be nice if Atmospheric condition Wallpaper had lockscreen and Alive Tile options similar to what we see with other weather condition apps that permit you choose what information is displayed and the frequency of the updates.

Still...Weather Wallpaper is an option worth trying for your Windows Phone eight lockscreens. Information technology just needs a little fine tuning. In that location is a trial version bachelor with the full version running $.99. You can find Weather Wallpaper here in the Windows Phone Store.
