This unique version iPhone / iPad is a simple free upgrade for the lucky purchasers of version 1.0.
And yet, what work it took to adjust and optimize the 3D application, both screens and memory capabilities of iPhone 3 up to 4 than those of the iPad 1 up to 2, known to be very different !

Firmly supported by a team of hard testers that he was not allowed respite, Oliver offers us an application that's always a good head start on competing applications. More over, even before its release, this work was already being hailed by the press Boating (²).
But as he is not guy to be satisfied with his result, he has already working to a PRO version and some ideas of additional functions for the current version. No rest for the artist !

Well I'm back, Internet access easier, So I downloaded the new version and I must say I am pleasantly surprised. A little disappointed initially by the first version, is … one thing to say : Bravo. A Pro version ? I now eagerly awaiting, with a question : but is she bringing more ? As in Martinique, I believe, You only create the desired area for the weather in Martinique or elsewhere. I also tested the Caribbean from Martinique to Panama, and ZIC, Panama to Galapagos.
I bought it and am a little disappointed. No one tells you in advance that it does not cover the Caribbean.

Of course if ! Just create a new zone covering the desired region. You can create, modify or delete, many areas covering any region of the planet. I sent you two screenshots by email.
Beautiful !
What more. Decidedly, world of apple channels of talented programmers … Bravo and thank you to Olivier Bouyssou Francis Fustier give us easy access to
