Non battery draining Weather apps

[anon(6174973)]

I just ask Google Now. Takes one press of the Google bar, you say "Google, weather." And you're set.

That way you don't need any weather widget using up you're screen. It also will make you look awesome to anyone that doesn't own a Android phone with Jelly Bean.

You can get the weather and be awesome at the same time! You can't beat that, in my opinion

Beautiful Widgets works just fine for me. Hardly uses the battery at all. I have it set to update every hr and I have temp. in my notification bar.

That's good to hear. Last time I used BW's back about a year ago it was still a battery hog. Maybe the devs got a handle on controlling the battery consumption finally.

I don't use have HD Widgets. I got it when it was on sale a while back. It worked great and is very customizable. But as I said I don't use widgets anymore, well except for the digital clock with the date, it come stock on the Note 2. Oh and I use the flashlight widget that comes stock on the Note 2.

But for weather, traffic, news, everything else, ect... I use Google Now. Like I said in my other post. Google Now is awesome and it makes you look awesome, Lol. I only have 3 home screen pages. I like to keep it simple and clean.

Oh, I see. Did you paid a high price to buy the HD Widgets?

I've been using BeWeather Pro for about a year on all my Android devices and haven't noticed any battery drain issues on any of them. I use a 4x2 widget on the main screen set to a three hour auto update interval along with the temperature in the notification bar. All other settings (in the app) are disabled.

+1000 on BeWeather Pro. Great home screen widget that allows you to either go into the app settings via a three-block menu button (see below) or tap on the weather info itself to go into the app itself, where you get Daily, Hourly, and Sun/Moon options plus a menu button with the best radar and satellite IR maps. Hands down the finest weather app available, and no battery drain.
