Cons
Con Banner advertisements
1Weather features annoying banner advertisements for users that have not paid the $1.99 upgrade. Another annoyance is that the advertisements are right next to the menu bar meaning your likely to open the advertisement at least once.
Con Cluttered UI
There's very little finesse present in the layout of the data, everything is just stuffed into unsightly boxes as tightly as possible. This minimizes scrolling but makes it difficult to parse at a glance.
