Introducing the 'Mango Edition'
Huge new v2 update - with loads of new features!
View the latest Australian Weather observations, forecasts, radars, tide
predictions and more - with accurate data direct from the BOM
(Australian Bureau of Meteorology) - wrapped lovingly in a Metro themed
UI. Now you can say 'goodbye' to other Apps using innacurate and
misleading US based weather sources.
Please note - this new version (and subsequent new releases) require
that you are running the Windows Phone 7.5 'Mango' update (7720 or greater)
- as it uses new Windows Phone 7.5 specific features.
If your phone is running an earlier os version - you will only be offered
the previous (v1.7) version of the app by Windows Phone Marketplace. (and we
recommend you update your phone's os via your Zune Client on your PC).
** Australia's #1 Top Selling Weather App in 2011 **
This brand NEW enhanced version for Mango users (aka
AU Weather Pro 'Mango Edition') - has a completely
revamped live tile and background agent system (allowing you to create
and customize multiple primary/secondary flipping tiles with shortcuts
into other locations in the app) - as well as a vast array of new
features and UX enhancements.
'Mango Edition' Feature Overview
Get the full version of AU Weather Pro 'Mango Edition' and get these great features :
- *ENHANCED* Detailed current observations for 550+
locations with 72 hr Historical graphs/metadata for all
locations. *NEW* 72 hour graphs now include
plotting of wind direction on Wind Speed and Wind Gust graphs.
- 7 Day Forecasts for over 280+ locations and
*NEW* Extended Forecasts (XFC) for 150+ locations (which mashes
up a number of different data sources to provide a detailed and
descriptive forecast including information such as chance of rain, uv +
fire alerts, synoptic and full forecast).
NB: Extended Forecasts (XFC) are only currently
available for locations in Victoria, NSW, Tasmania and South Australia
(which is current locations that BOM provide additional information
for).

tiles can be customized from 11 different designs (including new radar
live tile). Manage all your primary /secondary tiles + background agent
from the new live tile manager and instantly update your Live

makes finding things even faster.

live tiles).
