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?

    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.

    I’m using Today Weather. Great overall app in terms of UI and info.

    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.

    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.

        Wow, I’ve been using geometric for some time now but breezy definitely fixes a few things that had been annoying me! Thank you!

    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
