What is currently the best weather app for Android that I can place on the homescreen somewhere? I just want something that tells me like current temp for my area and weather type (cloudy, chance of snow, sunny etc.) nothing super huge or nothing is important to me.
I just bought the app Beautiful Widgets, which place the current temp and condition along with the flip clock. I'm liking it so far, and you can always get a refund within 24 hours if you don't like it.
I have beautiful widgets on my home screen as I like the direct access to teh alarm clock. I also have weather widgets donate on the second page as I like the skins.
For a simple, accurate and non buggy or resource hungry, Weather Channel app is probably the best. The Widget is simple. I also have Beautiful Widget to use the clock. I had previously had the Weather Widget Donate as well but found it to be a little buggy. It would keep asking me to re-set up the widget often. I just downloaded Weather Forecast Widgets v2 by Deslandes and it works perfect. The only thing is NOAA weather source isnt working but the Google weather source is.
I use weather widget donate. I like how when you tap, it opens up a three day forecast. Then, if you click again, it opens the weather app of your choice (I use the weather channel).
I had nothing but problems with WWD (it NEVER updated and ALWAYS asked me to update my info).
I switched over to Beautiful Widgets and haven't had a single problem yet. And like someone else said, they actually update their software....alot!
I tried beautiful widgets but it never would get the tempeture right, so i returned it, really would have preferred a widget over a run app personally, is weather bug like that?
Weather Widget IMO is much better than Beautiful Widgets and its accurate + flip click + skinnable (not avail in beautiful widgets) + Has 4 other options for weather only sizes.
So today I noticed something about Beautiful Widgets that I thought was pretty cool about the weather portion It's raining here where I live, and when you touch the weather option on the home widget it shows the current weather, and there is rain falling across my screen.
