Favorite weather app?

Weather and Clock Widget. The 5x2 sits nicely at the top of my home page.

I wish Zooper Widget had more options for weather providers. Yahoo! and Open Weather Map are OK, but I find others to be more accurate. Alas, I can't picture myself ever not using Zooper Widget.

Eye in the sky.

No other weather widget has big fonts for the forecast. Big fonts are important for the QHD resolution seeing as my previous phone the GS3 had HD Widgets which looked fine.

What I want is just a good 4x2 weather widget that gives me current, and the next 2 day's forecast. But I can't see to find a good one.

The Weather channel used to have a great 4x1 widget that gave just that, but their latest update completely ruined the widgets.

I actually like the weather widget that the G3 comes with, but it won't work with Nova Launcher. The regular Accuweather widget looks terrible with the big white bar at the top with the time and location. Why put a huge clock on these widgets? The time is always on the notification bar anyway!!

Also why is it that all these weather apps really only give you current data on the widget. Heck I know what the weather is currently, I just look out a window. I want the basic 3 day forecast. These moron developers just don't get it.

The closest, I'd say is the Chronos (premium) widget. It has, among others, a 4x2, includes a 5 day forecast... it does have the current conditions.

There's always something like HD Widgets.... the weather widgets were pretty customizable.

Which Chronos one are you referring to? When I do a search for Chronos Weather it comes up with a bunch.

Anyone using WeatherBug have trouble getting the radar to go into it's motion loop? Today was the first time I tried and it's just one big green and blue blur.

I used weather bug for a long time. I selected it originally because it had a small footprint and was very fast. But they've kept pouring on the features and now it's big, bloated, and slow. It's still a great app if you want detailed information, though.

Lately I've been using 1 Weather. Not as much information as weather bug, but it's got great widgets and is pretty quick.

Weather Bug blows everyone else away.

I just want a good weather widget which looks nice, and has multi-day forcast in a 4x2 widget.

I don't need a bloom'n clock, I already have the time on my status bar, why would I need a big clock on the home screen!?

I looked at Chronus, but I dunno. To get the better widgets, you need to do an in app purchase. Well how does that work if I wipe my phone or get a new android? With Nova for example I just redownload the Prime file.

HD Widgets seem nice, but too bloated and more than what I am looking for.

I like the Stock LG G3 weather widget, but would be nicer if they got rid of the clock. Seems like LG made a custom Accuweather widget, and the actually Accuweather widget doesn't look as nice, only issue is you can't use stock widgets with 3rd party launchers.

I just downloaded "transparent weather widget". It's free, has a 5 day forecast and is 4X2. Very accurate too...

This is exactly what I was looking for. Great find, and many thanks for posting it.

Plus it has many configuration options.

Been using 1weather and have to say it is a beautiful ui, low resource user, and wonderful app all round.

Totally agree. 1Weather has been flawless for me.

That's the gist of it really. All of these apps are tabulating mostly the same forecast data.... there's some variation, but for the most part, you are getting similar results. It all boils down to look and feel. 1W looks pretty slick whereas a lot of the other apps I've used seem pretty dated and clunky.

Plus, there's a lot of layers of information.... The main pages have everything condensed into an easy to navigate and read, horizontally-scrolled format, but if you dig a little deeper, say in the extended forecast screen, you'll find those cool detailed NWS narratives for current, near, short and long terms, etc... those are nice for the science geek in me since it goes over weather patterns, fronts, trends, etc. Stuff like how a front way the hell out in Alaska will develop over the course of the week. I love that sort of thing.

Every other weather app just seems muddled. It's weather, it shouldn't be difficult.

I agree with you. I just checked out 1Weather and yes, great information and very clean and professional looking. I very much agree with your last statement.

Google Now works just fine for what I need. Though, great suggestions in here just in case I need more detailed information related to weather conditions.
