WeatherCat for Apple TV
The Grand Poohbah:
WeatherCat is coming to the big screen! Just heard from Apple that my 9th app, WeatherCat for Apple TV, passed review and will be in the App Store for the launch of the new Apple TV. I was thrilled to be selected by Apple to receive a pre-release Apple TV for development and thrilled again to make it into the App Store before the new Apple TV ships.
If you are a WeatherCatPad fan, then WeatherCatTV will look very familiar, but with a simplified feature set. It has 3 pre-defined layouts that you can customize by selecting the style of indicator and it's location on the screen. Here is a quick tour. These examples are much, much smaller than the big, crisp, full-size 1080p images you will see on your television.
The Settings let you select one of the three pre-defined layouts, the server, the interval and units:
Here is layout 2:
To edit a layout (layout 3 in this example), swipe the Apple TV Remote track pad to the Edit button and click the track pad to start editing.
The Edit button changes to Editing and the indicators are outlined. Swipe the Remote to select the indicator you want to edit. Once you have selected the indicator, you can either click once to edit its options or hold down the track pad until the indicator starts wiggling. When the indicator is wiggling, tap or swipe the track pad to move the indicator. Click to stop the wiggling. Tap the Remote Menu button to return to the layout.
If you click on a selected indicator, you can edit its options. All indicators have Show/Hide and Small/Medium/Large sizes. Most indicators have Round/Text/Digit styles. You can also select 1 of seven colors for the Text and Digit styles. Tap the Remote Menu button to return to the layout.
Like the WeatherCat iOS apps, WeatherCatTV is localized for English, French, German, and Italian. I hope you enjoy WeatherCat on the big screen.

Congratulations on the new product! [tup] It looks really neat!
Alas, we have been a TiVo family for around 15 years, so we'll probably defer on the Apple TV purchase for now. However, I'm sure there are a few "WeatherCatters" who will snap up this software. If I recall correctly, Herb was standing in line for a new Apple TV.
Cheers, Edouard
Felix:
I've been trying to decide if I should order the new Apple TV (and which size) and here I am mid-week after the official kick-off and still no decision. But should I upgrade from my present Apple TV and relocate it to an inglorious position on a less-frequently-viewed TV in the house, I'll be sure and download WeatherCatTV on the new one. Thanks for a great product, Grand.

Very nicely done!
I think you'll like the RCP coming in WC3.
