Applications
teamWeather and Zenzel Technologies offers unique weather applications for your Apple mobile devices including the iPhone, iPod touch, and the iPad. Our line of applications started with our popular Weather Camera Map which brought weather cameras from around the world to mobile devices on any wireless network. Our application line then grew to include weather information applications specialized for theme parks such as Walt Disney World and Disneyland. The two applications where integrated into one now called Weather Plus for Disney Parks. Today our applications include many weather and other useful utility applications that can be downloaded from the iTunes Application Store. These applications help support the future development of the teamWeather web site and the education of the founder Christopher David Zenzel.
Christopher is the lead developer on the applications listed below and he has provided a lot of time and effort to make sure everyone is satisfied with the applications and how they work on their mobile devices. Today Christopher is working on many new applications as well as some fun applications that are not directly related to weather. These applications can be used as “geek gadgets” which means that they are fun utilities for education or entertainment purposes.

Weather Personal
Weather Camera Map is now Weather Personal for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch! You can view not only weather cameras, but also local weather stations across the world! With new GPS technologies and lookup methods we are sure that this is the best personal weather station application on the store!
Weather Cam Map provides the best access to user-contributed weather cameras around the world from various data sources. Through various location lookup methods you can locate weather cameras that are the closest to you by GPS, you can lookup cameras by location (City, State or Zip Code), or you can perform searches by using Fuzzy Searches (ex. Toronto will bring a list of multiple locations that you can select from). Weather Cam Map was the first application to provide you with detailed weather information through the use of cameras provided by users on Weather Underground.
With our new version of Weather Cam Map, 1.4, you can now access weather cameras on your iPhone or iPod touch as well as your iPad devices. A universal binary is provided on the App Store on April 3rd, 2010 to give you the best of Weather Cam Map and allowing you to see Weather Cameras on a larger-format screen. Weather images that were too big for your iPhone can now be shown crystal clear on the iPad’s 1024×768 pixel display.
Wrap A Url
Sick and tired of copying and pasting long URLs into your e-mails and Twitter messages on the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad? Need to shorten those long URLs to something simpler? With “Wrap A Url” by Zenzel Technologies and teamWeather you can now wrap URLs using the TinyURL service to simpler links that can be sent through quick SMS messages, Twitter messages, or even e-mail messages. You just need to copy and paste the original URL into the program and it will generate both a regular TinyURL and it will also generate the preview link to the TinyURL in case you want to re-ensure your users of the link they will be visiting!
GPSForecast
GPSForecast finds the latest digital forecast information for your latitude and longitude. This application requires an Internet connection, but it will get you the most accurate forecast from the National Weather Service no matter where you are in the United States.
GPSConditions
GPSConditions finds the latest current conditions for your location within the United States by using the exact latitude and longitude of your GPS on your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. This application requires an Internet connection, but it will get you the most accurate conditions while you are traveling and you never have to know the exact location you are at.
GPSLogger
Providing Location Services in the Background to tag your photos, jogging, and biking to various computer formats!
GPSLogger for the iPhone provides the ability to log your location in the background of your iPhone OS 4.0 device ,including the iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4, to computerized formats that you can e-mail to yourself or others to tag your sports, hobbies, and photography later on a Mac or PC compatible program.
We provide you with the ability to export your data as both CSV and GPX formats which allow you to either upload your data to a database, or tag your photographs as you walk through a location (such as a theme park).
We have extensively tested this application and ensure every bit of data will be collected. We have even included a crash-preventitive that if GPSLogger crashes on your iPhone, you can start the application from where you left off without a corrupted log file.
You can clear the log when you choose and to terminate GPSLogger you just need to go to the home screen and the location will no longer update.
GPSLogger provides its users with great features for $1.99 and future updates of GPSLogger 1 are free! Check out the features of Version 1.1 that we have submitted to Apple and look at some of our screenshots showing how GPSLogger can run in background, do mapping, also help you save your battery, and more export features (including Attachments).
Battery Notice and Disclaimer
Please note that continued, prolong use of the GPS will use more battery on your iPhone device. Along with any multitasking application this will happen. We recommend you purchase an external battery pack from companies such as iGo to keep your phone charged on the go. The iGo adapter we got and tested works with “AA” batteries to charge the mobile device with the iPhone tip.
Barcode Score
Keep track of how many times you scan that barcode and images with timestamps of each product you scan. This can be thought of as a game or entertaining way to know what products you are interested in and also can be a valuable gadget to compare prices at sites such as Amazon.com. Barcode Scan brings the ZBar Code Reader (open source, un-modified: http://zbar.sourceforge.net/) to the App Store with a picture store and counter. The counter and images can be both accessed from iTunes File Sharing and also used to determine how much you want that product on the store shelf. Using Internet resources you can also find the best price before considering buying it at high retail prices at most stores.
It is very valuable for finding the right price and product and we plan to offer free updates to support more web sites for finding prices on the market.
Maps Live Clock
Sick of seeing how other mobile devices can get a background of a live map, the current location, and the time? We took the idea from other mobile devices to the iPhone and iPod touch to bring you a simple clock. While you are charging your device let this clock run so you always know where you are and the current time it is. You will never be without a map and clock with this application. This full screen application lets you bring the power of maps and time to the foreground of your device.
* The iPad will be supported in a future update that will be avaliable free to all users.

Si! I want the Vuvuzela call for my mobile device! This application is perfect to make a quiet and entertaining noise of the Vuvuzela horn. It is both fun and educational. With easy access to the Internet browser to find out more about this horn, through Wikipedia, and also with the actual sound that lets you either control it with a quick button press or by blowing into the microphone. You will never stop having fun with this horn and you don’t have to have all those ad’s cluttering space on your screen.
Picture Hash (Fun Investigative Picture Hash Tool)
Picture Hash for the iPhone and iPod touch allows you to use your camera or image library to generate MD5 hashes for images with unique timestamps on your iPhone or iPod touch device. This application allows you to save images to the iTunes File Sharing library as JPEG images each with a unique timestamp and MD5 hash text file to compare and see if an image was modified directly from camera or the image library. Picture Hash is meant to be a fun investigative tool and is not meant for criminal investigation of photographs. Each hash and photograph can be accessed from the iTunes File Sharing. If you save an image to your camera roll or image library it will not contain the MD5 hash file.
Picture Hash for Mac OS X – Supporting Full Quality JPEG and PNG Images from Digital Cameras
Picture Hash is now available on Mac OS X for any laptop or desktop user that wants the great ability to create MD5 hashes of their photographs at full quality. Picture Hash for Mac OS X allows users to create a batch of MD5 checksums and/or create MD5 checksums for full-quality (5mb+ depending on computer memory) digital camera images in JPEG or PNG format. This tool is especially useful if you want to compare pictures to make sure they are not modified or “touched up.”

What our customers are saying about Zipcode Lookup 1.2
Perfect – ★★★★★
I rated this application poorly just over two weeks ago and it is simply incredible how much work Christopher has done to make this application what it should be. I complained previously about items 1 and 2 below, but those omissions are completely gone. I only had to type my street address and it located the town, state, local naval air station, etc. Great job Christopher. I particularly like the Google Maps occupying the bottom of the application window.
1. Street Address Search or, even, Business Search
2. Results as Zip Code + 4, not the basic five digit zip code.
I am just so happy with this and am glad I purchased it.

Snow Measure (Future Forecast of Snow Measurements)
Snow Measure is a new application in the iTunes Application Store that allows users to download and see a forecast of future snow forecasted amounts between two periods of time. While this applicationdoes not provide current snow measurements, it provides a useful tool for people to get future snow measurements on their iOS device to compare with measurements they make during that same time period. This application is great for those forecasting upcoming snow and especially for those who are interested in comparing digital forecast snow amounts to newscasts and also text forecasts from the National Weather Service. These snow amounts are forecasted based on the National Digital Forecast Database forecast models avaliable by the National Weather Service on the Internet. This utility is meant to be simple, fun, and easy to use.
Mac OS X Applications
Several of our applications listed above are also avaliable in the Mac Application Store. Please note that some features may not be in the current builds of the Mac OS X application, but we are working to create the features into the applications for both Mac OS X and the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. We are also adding more desktop-like features to Mac OS X applications that will allow you to take full advantage of your laptop or desktop computer.
Please note that our Mac OS X applications are slightly higher in price than our iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad applications to help support the development of all our applications, our web site, and our contributions back to the community.
Notice: Placefile Integration with teamWeather Applications
teamWeather offers placefile integration with some of their applications. We do our best to support certain feed types. You can use this feature at your own risk. We currently do not support a certain provider, but we can give you an idea of what type of feeds need to be placed inside the application’s settings under the Settings application in order for this feature to work. We have been told in the past that many have contacted their placefile provider for support of our applications. Placefile providers do not support or provide support teamWeather applications. This feature is considered as value-add and it is up to the user to determine if a feed will work correctly. If not teamWeather and the placefile provider are unable to provide support.
