What weather app are you using?

[Cwey55]

What the title says. Wanna change up my home page with a good weather app that has a good looking widget, or even multiple different widget styles. Been using the stock weather app since I got my G4 and I don't mind the actual in app UI, but the stock widget choices are less than ideal...

Show me what you've got

1 Weather. But I don't use the widget. I use Dashclock, and use 1 weather's input.

Transparent clock and weather.

G4

I use 1 weather. I do use the widget. Can set the background on the widget. Of all the weather apps I tried, this one is the best.

I use the Weather XL. Pretty good with a lot of features.

1Weather widget. They have different sizes. Then you would tap on widget it opens up app and get a lot of info on typical weather.

1Weather. You can also resize their widget, or at least the one shown in post #6. I stretched it to fill the width of the screen, but kept the same height.

I'll have to look into Dashclock, I don't know what that is.

I've used 1Weather, Weatherbug, and Wunderground, but lately I'm trying out Yahoo Weather. A recent update has it looking pretty nice. Here's one of the widgets:


And here's what the app itself looks like. It's nice that they use Flicker photos from your location as the background, if available.


I do wish they had animated radar, but I'll probably keep another weather app to give me that.

I use "Weather Underground" app (wunderground.com).
I do not use their widget.

I used to be a huge WeatherBug fan...until their last major UI update. Now the phone app does not rotate into landscape. Pluss they now have a LOT of wasted space on their main screen.

I really like 1Weather but have the same problem - it only works in portrait mode, no landscape.

- Currently using Chronus weather widget on home screen, which can show weather from a couple different sources (currently pulling from Yahoo).
- You can link Chronus weather widget to a different app to open when tapped, which I have linked to 'Canada Weather' app which shows data from environment Canada (its own widget is too basic).
- also giving 'Weather Timeline' app a go, plenty of options to choose from, multiple weather sources, plenty of data to show within the app itself (just not sure I like the app's layout yet)

I've been using this weather app because I like the large clock widget...

I downloaded 1Weather, so far I like it definitely a step up from the stock one. I like finally being able to adjust the transparency of the widget so it isn't blocking half my wallpaper.

I do wish there was a larger clock on the widget though. The tiny notification bar one can be a struggle early in the morning haha.

I use and like 1Weather very much; it's the most accurate of all the weather apps I have tried. But I use the widget from Transparent Clock & Weather.

 

[greydarrah]

I use Beautiful Widgets. I like it because you can set other apps to launch by touching various spots on the widget. I've got mine set to launch my alarm clock app if I touch the time, WeatherBug Elite if I touch the picture of the weather and my radar app if I touch the temperature of the weather.

You can actually make the background of widget totally transparent. Also they do have ones with clocks on. Go into all your widgets and you should see them in the very beginning. To change the background of widget you have now, go into 1weather, go to settings, widget, the town and change settings there

I use BW for years, and in addition Google News & Weather. It has the best layout of any weather app I've seen. Timeline and tabs for temp, precipitation, wind, and humidity.

The transparent effect is useful- nice one

Another 1 Weather widget user here... Former Beautiful Widgets user but I like this more.

Can I just pipe in and say to all those that are unhappy with battery life on their g4... widgets like these are a battery killer.
