Good Weather App?

**juniorgolf18** · 12-16-2012, 03:32 PM

Anyone got a good recommend on a weather app? And not TWC.

It is starting all the time and draining my battery, seems like more after JB update. I just checked battery and it was 30% of the battery use.. The top of the list above screen... crazy. D

So... I deleted it.

Try 1weather or wusa radar. Both are pretty good and accurate!

I like Weather Underground. You can search the map for specific weather stations and forecasts, so it is far more accurate the TWC, which I hate. It's the only one I use, and it's free.

I recently switched from Weather Bug (free version) to Eye In Sky. I like it. See this review:

Does beweather drain battery?

**gorgalis** · 12-17-2012, 05:13 PM

It doesn't even register in the battery status. I have it update every hour and when the app is opened. I also use the widget.

My top three would be.
1. Elecont Weather
2. Elecont Weather
3. Elecont Weather.

And Elecont Weather is also pretty good.

I mostly use the voice search in JB to take me to Google's weather or Google Now.

Another vote for BeWeather, very nice...I was looking at other weather apps, and found that they left something running on the phone when the apps themselves weren't running. BeWeather doesn't do that, it's either running when you're using it, and not running when you're not using it (assuming that you use the task manager to end it *smile*). Accuweather and others needed to have something running all the time for some reason, didn't matter if you ended the app with the task manager or not.

I tried Beweather and loved it. But I had to uninstall due to the app draining my battery

Eye In Sky Weather by Tim Clark is pretty good with a clean interface.

HD widgets is my fav. I have paid for many, but HD widgets just looks the best and uses weather bug, Imo very accurate and battery friendly.

**ItnStln511** · 12-18-2012, 02:40 PM

Are there any weather widgets that have animation like the HTC Sense clock? I'm talking about if it's raining, and you unlock the phone you'll see rain drops.

I've had good luck with WeatherBug Elite with ICS and now JellyBean. The Lightning Alert is nice safety feature. I'm also a Weatherunderground fan, but have not seen good reviews in the past for their app. I check their mobile site, which is quite good.

Beautiful Live Weather will do this. Turn on the phone and see rain/snow etc on the main screen as well as the lock screen.
