21st March 2011- WeatherPro for BlackBerry is the latest WeatherPro app to be released by MeteoGroup, Europe’s largest private sector weather business.  WeatherPro is also available for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone 7.  The popularity of WeatherPro became evident at the end of last year, as Apple published an iTunes 2010 review, revealing that WeatherPro was the best selling weather app on iPad and iPhone in Europe.

WeatherPro for BlackBerry provides high quality seven day weather forecasts for more than two million locations. With each day broken down into three hourly intervals, users will always have access to the very latest weather, no matter where you are in the world. In addition, WeatherPro includes animated worldwide satellite images and radar for much of Europe and the United States.

Jennie Campbell, MeteoGroup Managing Director commented: “The most important aspect of WeatherPro is quality – both in terms of the accuracy of the forecasts and the appearance and functionality of the app itself.  We take pride in our development work and, rather than creating a universal app which wouldn’t meet the high standards we set ourselves, we optimise WeatherPro for each device.  BlackBerry users have been requesting WeatherPro for some time now and we’re pleased to now offer them a fully optimised weather app.”

WeatherPro for BlackBerry is now available in BlackBerry App World.
