Questions about using Nova

[bassjo]

I've used it in the past, as a matter of fact I've paid for Nova Prime. My question is since we can't use the Samsung weather/clock widget with a 3rd party launcher what widget do y'all use and or recommend that will not be to draining on battery life or performance?

You can use the built in one on Nova. Just turn on persistent search bar and set the format to the pill design with weather active.

Personally though I use Beautiful Widgets.

So to be able to use the built in widget the persistent search bar must be enabled?

The one in Nova isn't really a widget but part of the persistent search bar's features.

Here's a screenshot. The one encircled in red is one of the setups for the persistent search bar in Nova. The one encircled in yellow is Beautiful Widgets which I normally use.

I've been using Nova for years, and always used the AccuWeather widget:

In AU I use Weatherzone app & widgets. This is 1 of their widgets that also includes time. Tap the weather - it open the app. Tap the time it open the Samsung clock app.

I use Nova Prime and Beautiful Widgets. Love how you can set shortcuts for different parts of the widget.
