I've already asked this on the lemmy.ml instance, but I figured I'd ask here as well!

What weather app does everyone use?

Personally I like the built in Google one, though I always consider getting one with DarkSky in it so I can get weather notifications.

I like Today Weather a lot. Pretty widgets and reasonably customizable

Geometric Weather from FDroid is my absolute favourite. Clean, no adds. It even has a live wallpaper that shows current weather which I love.

Myradar. Someone recommended it to me on r/ and it's been really good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same, with the hd and hurricane add ons.

I like Yr a lot. Simple and (mostly) accurate, even outside Norway.

I quite like Weather Today, it has a great design and Apple WeatherKit integration (basically DarkSky but rebranded)

windy has the best radar and I'll just use my browser to go to weather.com for forecasts.

NOAA Weather. No frills, just the straight data that everyone else uses in straight forward graphs and visualizations.

I just do a Google search when I need weather info, never felt the need for an app

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I just started using weawow. So far it's pretty good.

I always like wunderground for its accuracy and there use to be an app for it, but HP cut off the API. Now I use Prognoza on f-droid, seems OK.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

HP? Wunderground is owned by IBM.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ooops, sorry, got my accronym companies mixed up, you are correct.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I use Weawow, I like their widget and how customizable it is.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

AccuWeather for the "hyper local" weather.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If you want to be mildly terrified, do a search on which weather apps do NOT collect and sell your data. Hint: you won't find many.
They are notorious for gathering background data, including your location, obviously.

Unfortunately, most of the weather apps that claim to not sell your data are subscription based and fairly expensive.

I used to be a weather app nerd, but I'm also a privacy advocate, so these days I just use a bookmarked weather website.

Radar Scope so I can see where the rain is headed.

I also have like seven other weather apps that never agree with each other exactly, so I just see what the consensus is amongst them all and guess.

Meteogram with a lifetime platinum membership

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

QuickWeather most of the time and wX if i need more detail or to access SPC products.

Yr Weather https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nrk.yr

Seems to be the most representative of my specific location.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I tend to use the Google built-in one (which is getting a revamp soon), but I also subscribe to Weather Channel. This is nice because if you subscribe on the web it gets rid of ads on all platforms - Android, iOS, and web. Sometimes there are issues where you have to log out and back in again, but it works.

Shadow Weather (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noaimgames.shadowweather) has a great presentation of detailed weather data, multiple weather services to choose from, current and future radar, and good developer support.

I think you might be a lost Lemur..

My pixel didn't come with that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I got a Pixel tablet and they made a weather app for it and I hear it is coming to our pixel phones.
