What weather app do you use? (Android)

As topic title :-)

I've used AccuWeather for years. I quite like it because of the home screen widgets and it has a dark theme. If I go pro (£3.59), it removes the ads and extends the forecast by a few days. Just wondered if any of you guys have opted for that? Or any other preference paid or unpaid?

I'm not sure if AccuBattery is by the same firm with the Accu- prefix, but I have already gone pro with that and that has a dark theme too.

I used Accuweather pro for years but it became a bit bloated recently and started trying to connect to my car when driving (despite disabling that wonderful feature!) so ditched it and just use BBC weather.
None of them are particularly accurate anyway for much further than 48hrs so doesn't really matter.

Met Office app, worked outdoors in the Lake District for 5 years so used it a lot, rain maps were particularly useful. As for the app itself, it's simple and works.

Thanks guys. I'll check out the Met Office one :-)

On my phone i have the built in one which uses weather.com and the bbc weather app
downloading the met office one too

I use the built-in weather app or Met Office.

Currently use Weather Timeline. It used to be horribly accurate but hasn't been lately. Still a very clean app to use with a great set of widgets.

I use both the Met Office and BBC app on the off-chance one of them will get it right.

I remember asking google if it was going to rain. It said no so I went on a rather long walk.
Half way into the walk it started chucking it down. I asked again if it was going to rain and it still said no lol

Dark Sky
on Android and iOS... always been reasonably accurate and liked enough to pay on both OS

I have this great free weather app. I look up from my phone and I know what the weather is. Instant updates, too.

I hadn't heard of this before, just looked it up seems pretty funny actually

I use the premium version of dark sky. Really like the heads up it gives for incoming rain at your location.

My friend uses Dark Sky and swears by it. Does it rinse your battery though? Surely it uses GPS a lot to stay up-to-date.

Carrot Weather App. Hilarious.

Weather timeline, nice and clean app.

Met Office, although the desktop widget doesn't always update very well, same issue I had with Accuweather

Orcvader · 31 Aug 2018 at 16:53

The one within Google. Although I think the data is from weather.com. Not 100% accurate sometimes but it does the job.
