I recommend Weawow.
Odd name. Great app and widget. Single, dedicated developer and very simple monetization hook (just a donation, if I recall correctly).
Multiple data sources supported, and very customizable.
That's what I use and it's the best weather app I've seen so far. The coolest thing is, when you're choosing weather providers, it will show you the current forecast for each one, so you can compare them better.
And it has so many widgets that are easy to configure.
I use prognoza - it's open source and has MD3 widgets

I started using it after the weather apps I use were just so fucking bloated I gave up and looked for another solution
I had never heard of this one before. Very clean thanks!
Windy has been great, it gives a really nice overview of data, and lets you pick from 5 different sources, as well as compare each source to local weather stations to figure out which had the closest predictions in the past.
wX
Wx is great, but it is really complex for someone who didnt attend classes in meteorology. Sure it is usable, but a lot of its functions are not geared for the average user IMO.
This one, I presume?
wX (Weather app geared towards storm chasers, meteorologists and weather enthusiasts)
just downloaded. I think this is going to get to be my new weather app -- but that UI is going to take some getting used to.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Check this site for the most accurate weather provider in your area. Then choose an app that can use that as a source. https://www.forecastadvisor.com/
Never heard of it, checking it out now!
Is there something else I have to do besides downloading the APK and installing it? When I try to install it it says I cannot install it on this device.
Edit: nevermind I ended up finding it on the play store
Downloading weather apps like I was downloading Lemmy apps the other day..
I'm fairly satisfied with AccuWeather. Not as good as Dark Skies was but close!
If you're not a fan of high information density, I recommend Overdrop. It presents the key information in a simple, clear way.
Also been testing Weather Today which seems to be another good one in the few weeks I've had it.
Ooh, just checked out Weather Today. I like it, bought the full version
Overdrop is very well designed, has beautiful themes but is more minimal which suits my needs.
I was using Appy Weather and liked it for similar reasons but it's weather sources are not as good and sometimes inaccurate so I had to switch.
MyRadar
Shadow weather is what I've been using since dark sky shut down. It has multiple sources, including apple(dark sky). Seems to be pretty accurate since it pulls from several sources.
I use Geometric Weather from fdroid, it's very polished. It's entirely FOSS, so nothing's spying on you.
Geometric weather hasn't been updated in ages, its been forked and is called breezy weather fyi
Wow, I've been using geometric for some time now but breezy definitely fixes a few things that had been annoying me! Thank you!
Personally the BBC Weather app has always been my favourite although the default Samsung one has gotten really good, too.
I thought I'd heard that Weather Timeline was coming which is what I use, but it still appears to be hidden for new users. My next recommendation would be Today Weather which I've heard good things about from others.
I'm a fan of the very light, widget-only AF Weather. All it does is a chart showing temp & precipitation for the next 24hrs. I like it more than "hourly" forecasts in other apps, but it is pretty niche.
It only works for Germany I believe, but the best app (both for the actual forecasts and the nice widget) is the Deutsche Wetterdienst app - though thanks to legal shenanigans you have to pay a euro for it.
eWeather HDF
windy.com is what use for radar. (There's an app for it too.)
Windy is it. Great initial view of favorites for the quick check and beautiful visualizations, but man does it get deep if you want to double click.
For instance, a few weeks back I wanted to see why the sun looked orange and the sky was pale at ~3pm, so I pulled up the particulates map. I could see a 6hr moving map of particulates making their way from Alberta CA over to the skies to my west.
Also, they show a breakdown of all the major weather service providers' forecasts and detail which are better in which situations, helping you understand if that forecast you're planning on is really going to happen or it's just wishful thinking.
Oh, and you can set up alerts to notify you days ahead of time if conditions are right for activities, like if it's cool enough and good enough air quality to go for a run or if the wave swells will be high for surfing or what have you.
I can recommend this app: https://github.com/WangDaYeeeeee/GeometricWeather
Here's a fork of Geometric Weather that's still being maintained, which is what I use now: https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather
I've started using Forescaster, it uses the weather api from apple which is a bit meh, but the way it shows the weather is great.
Windy, overall, but especially for VFR forecasts, one of the few that will give cloud ceiling and visibility, and detailed winds (both on the ground and aloft, steady and gusts).
DWD Warnwetter for rain and warnings.
I have to recommend Today Weather (not weather today, thats different). Excellent minimalistic UI, radar forecast, percipatation charts, widgets, all works excellent.
This is a great weather app. I can vouch for that. I've been using it for a little while now and I really like the layout.
I'm using Today Weather. Great overall app in terms of UI and info.
