Lock Screen Weather for iPhone does what it says with a catch
49

With iOS 5, heaps of new and much needed features were added to Apple’s mobile platform, but one thing we wish was there - dynamic weather updates straight from your lockscreen - remained something third-party app creators had to do. And the Lock Screen Weather for iPhone does just that for a mere $0.99.
Now, here’s a quick summary of its features:
- Current weather conditions on your lock screen
- An optional five day weather forecast.
- Support for tens of thousands of cities around the world.
- Current weather and future forecasts updated regularly.
- Both Fahrenheit and Celsius units supported.
- An original set of weather graphics for every conceivable weather condition.
The idea sounds great, but there’s a caveat. In order to work all the time and give you dynamic weather updates, the Lock Screen Weather app plays a sound file in the background all the time. So basically this app relies on the way iOS handles album art - dynamically updated for every track, but instead of album art you get the weather forecast. Neat idea, but after all this is a battery drain, and doesn’t play well when you want to play your own music at the same time.
