Just wondering if anyone likes the regular weather widget like I do. I havent found a good replacement yet, I like how it shows actual location and can refresh the weather quickly.

I keep going back to the weather.com app. I like its 4x1 widget and how it shows a couple days out and severe weather alerts.

I like the stock one, but I wish it was transparent. A couple times for some reason mine went transparent and it looked really cool.


I've since switched to SimiClock with Weather as I like the simplicity of it and it always gets my location correct unlike the stock widget. I'll probably try aWeather from the play store next.

Iv been using 3D Digital Weather Clock I havnt finished tweaking it but apparently you can assign apps to launch when tapping certain areas (hour and min on the clock) of the widget. Which I kind of find nifty since I am not giving up all of that real estate to something that is visual only.

I don't know if this will be my permanent choice, but I like it so far.

I use the stock one as well, only thing is the occasional lag when switching screens which I hope is fixed on the next update or Jelly Bean which ever comes first.:cool:

I agree. Whenever you go to your home screen, the widget flips and causes the screen to temporarily lag. No biggie to me but I can see that being annoying and/or nuisance to others.

I use the Go Weather EX widget. I don't like most weather widgets and don't use the stock widget because it takes up 8 spaces, go weather has a nice 4x1 that I use and gives me weather conditions, temperature and clock.

I've been using HD Widgets. There are several I like, but I think HD Widgets gives a better data rundown when you tap the widget.
