Best Weather Apps

In my opinion the best two weather apps for my phone are MyrRadar and 1Weather. Free and use them all the time! Try them out and see what you think.

Does anybody have any suggestions for better ones?

Cheers!
 
I like Transparent Weather it's really good and have a lot of options to it but I also own 1 weather the paid version.
 
I used to love Palmary Weather:

There is a free version too, but the paid version had some really nice widgets. Unfortunately, the widget stopped working where I live due to some weird geo-location issues, and support basically told me I was on my own.

The free version is worth a download to at least see if you like it. If you do, could always buy the paid version and return it quick if the widgets don't work where you live:

Yeah, but you Brits seem to have the better mobile weather. Yanks only seem to want pretty widgets and socializing.
I'll start reading an app's description, looks good, then I find out it's UK.

You don't have to be in the UK to use the BBC weather app...

Although the stock Oppo app gives me more details...

Wow... No love for AccuWeather. Love the real feel temperature. It tells me how to dress for work.

Also adding social sharing. That's why I finally killed Weatherbug - turning into a social network. I also don't like the videos. Fine for those that like videos, but let me delete them on my phone.

Accuweather also cannot locate me by GPS only. They are close but have the wrong subdivision and street. wX can, NOAA can, my astronomy programs can. Even Mapquest can. So much for wanting to stick your ads everywhere. I BOUGHT the app years ago.

That "real feel" is close. You do need to have some idea of other weather conditions, though. We skied above 10,000 ft one year, temp was minus 17 or thereabouts, and we were in t-shirts. Sun much stronger at that altitude. I prefer if they do use feet as markers - like snow above 8,000 ft. We live at 6500, and get weather closer to the foothills rather than the city.
