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?
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!
can’t seem to find that on the play store or fdroid
https://github.com/weblate/breezy-weather The page says available on Fdroid soon™️
I like yr.no, by the Norwegian meteorological institute.
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.

Yup. This has been my go-to weather app for a few months now.
I have to recommend Today Weather (not weather today, thats different). Excellent minimalistic UI, radar forecast, percipatation charts, widgets, all works excellent.
I’ve been using Weawow and I like it so far.
Another happy user of Weawow here!
second this. its a great app with loads of detail and you can select your data provider
Yes. Weawow is customizable and you can switch the weather provider. Also a good selection of widgets if you need them.
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.
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.
Weawow by far.
I highly recommend Foreca Weather. They have recently decided to put a ton of work into the app and for the past few months it’s been getting updated weekly with a bunch of new features. I love that kind of shit.

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.
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.
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.
I’m using Today Weather. Great overall app in terms of UI and info.
I love checking the future forecast via different weather models. Very nice and fun. Been using this for a few years now.
I pay the $20 a year for full access to the other like 4 models, mostly because I want the programmer to be able to eat so they can keep putting the app out.
I like Today Weather (paid app IIRC). Has customixable widgets
How many weather data providers are there in most country?
Flowx shows the model is using and you can change it.
