Ever since I started using smart phones, I have been jumping between different weather apps and have not been very satisfied with most of them. I found the apps from the big weather providers like Accuweather and Weather Channel to be bloated and distracting with advertisements and irrelevant news. The app I was closest to being satisfied with was the free version of Dark Sky, but I didn't get to enjoy it for very long since I discovered it not long before Apple acquired it. What are some of the best weather apps on Android right now?

Meteogram is an amazingly customizable widget-type app that shows everything you could imagine on a timeline/chart. One of my all-time favorite and most used apps. It is updated regularly, and the amount of customization is insane. It is so nice to be able to just look at a chart and instantly know everything you need to know about the upcoming hour(s) and day(s).

I have been also been using an app called Forecaster which is pretty cool, that's more of a conventional weather app.

My favorite radar app is MyRadar.

Pretty neat, installed it from their GitHub. What change I was really hoping for from Geometric Weather was better widgets and to have the widgets include material you colors. Seems like they're largely unchanged right now.

Weawow by far.

I liked Appy Weather for a while. Nice clean design, and had access to the Dark Sky API and now the Apple Weather API after Dark Sky was shut down.

The precipitation notifications became nonsense for me though. We were on week 2 of a drought recently and I would get notifications saying things like "heavy rain continues for 8 hours" with no precipitation in sight. Not sure if that was the app's fault (developer hasn't updated in a while) or the API's, but yeah. Inaccurate notifications.

I am on a Pixel Fold now, so I'm currently using the redesigned Google Weather app. I really like the redesign. I just noticed that I had notifications disabled due to previously using that other app though, so I'm curious to see if it has live precipitation notifications now that they have the ML-Powered Dark Sky-like Nowcast thing.

Is the new Google Weather app still the web app you get when searching "weather"?

I couldn't find it in the app store and am curious if it's just the web app.

I like Today Weather (paid app IIRC). Has customixable widgets

International: Weather&Radar - best overall UK: Wearher Forcast UK or MetOffice app (same source but different UI) GER: Deutscher Wetterdienst und Regen Vorschau (very accurate but only GER)

Overdrop is a really nice one with a great looking UI.

Carrot Weather is also pretty good and has funny quotes it shows you if you like that kinda thing, but the dev is primarily an IOS developer so the Android app is pretty far behind feature wise if you compare the two versions.

I have to follow rainfall amounts for work and I use Weather Underground for the hourly precipitation estimate and 10 day look ahead. I still use Weather channel for the radar but I'm going to check out some of these to look for a better one
