SPB Weather – Last release was 24/12/2009 and there has still not been an official update for Symbian^3. When installed on such a device the following issues are noted. a) GPS location based weather does not work. b) Cannot set schedule update to once per day. c) Homescreen widget has no background option and as such gets lost on busy wallpapers unlike other widgets.

SPB Wallet – Last release was 11/11/2009 and as such there is still no official Symbian^3 support. Whilst the functionality is sort of there, you can tell this was not designed for a full touchscreen phone. Minor bugs / issues includes sort problems on the card list, not being able to amend the location of the card file on the phone, and formatting is corrupted in the notes field when this is synchronised with the PC version of the wallet. In addition to this, requests for new card templates do not get answered or actioned.

Considering the price that SPB charge for their products, when compared to other similar applications it is a shame that they are not supporting these applications to a level that warrants the additional expense…..such a shame.
