I'm recommending WUSA weather. A Combination weather/google maps app with animated layers. I use it all the time. You can set any location as home. Available free in market.

Latest version of The Weather Channel work fine (just recently updated, previously it was pretty unusable, still kinda ugly). WeatherBug looks really nice on the Nook Color.
My current favorite app is Palmary Weather, it offers a bunch of different information, and the widgets you can toggle between graphs of temps, rain, humidity, etc.. It's a really nice complete app, but no radar.. So I use Weatherbug for radar.
Is there any decent weather app/widget that could be used on a different ROM like FroYo? Neither WUSA nor Weatherbug OR the Weather Channel app are showing in the Market

Palmary Weather, I've tried them all and always go back to this one. It's well worth the price.

*inquiring minds would like to know*
yes I searched, did not see a thread like this.
Weather Panel. Chad
i'm loving PointUI right now, it has a nice builtin weather applet. When im in Garmin Mobile XT, it has a nice forecast for wherever i am or choose.
SBSH PocketWeather is my favorite... tried WeatherPanel and SPB too, but PocketWeather seemed the most robust and trouble free. Just my opinion.
spb weather but always looking for a better or less bloated one.

Thirded......
PocketWeather 2.
I like SPB weather but the most accurate I find is the Environment Canada RSS feed that I get tru SPB insite. Normally if i see something like a heavy snow in weather i'll tap the RSS feed to get the latest warning and exact amounts.
I love SPB weather. It's simple, clean, and very customizeable.
spb weather for me. i tried pocket weather 2 but there was an overwhelming amount of information.

I agree, but have not found a configuration file to collect Environment Canada forecasts into SPB Weather.. No time to write one for myself.
I've resorted to the Weather Network for weather data.
Weatherpanel
Weatherpanel is by far the beast, extrmecustomizable and fun!
Mobo
weather watcher! ok, it doesnt have a today plugin.
but it shows even single hours.
and it show 10 days!
and its free!
I like SPB Weather but I wish there was a free program that had current weather (ie. Current temp/Feels like/etc)
Weatherbug IMHO. It's only really meant to work on the smartphone platform, but it runs perfectly on my Mogul.
not really a program but i use http://xhtml.weather.com/xhtml/hbhf/77054 as my home page on Opera(replace "77054" with your own zip code). Very quick webpage, almost instant. I used to use HTC home but recently learned about its bloat and have been trying to use more of WM6s built in functions and not rely on third party apps so much. Phone seems alot more stable and quicker from when i used HTC home, PointUI, or anything like that.
I went with SBSH Pocket Weather v2.0.5 .....love the look, love how you can customize it, love that it has soo much useful info but wish when it states & shows its going to snow it would state how much in inches so I have a heads up...
Chicago winter weather can be brutal...
SBSH PocketWeather for me....used all the other ones, and PocketWeather is the one that gets my vote.

Search here and at PPCGeeks for XCast. I think it can be downloaded from TreoCentral.
It adds a line to your today screen and can be set to display current temp, feels like, chance of rain, and estimated time for rain through the next day. All this on one line.
This is my favorite weather program.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to get a perfect weather + clock/alarm widget for me. I've been using Fancy Widget for a while, it works fine for me (I can see weather info, I can see time, I can see when the next alarm rings), except there's no direct access to Alarm for it brings me to clock setting instead (and I need another tap to go to alarm).
I've looked at Beautiful Widget, but a bit hesitant to buy it due to some battery drain comments. Does Beautiful Widget drains battery significantly on Arcs? Can it access alarm directly from the widget?
Thank you In Advance.
Give GO Weather a go (pun very much intended) ... Been using it & it's quietly elegant.

Hmm... I still can't go to alarm directly from the widget. Or will it always be like that until I install 3rd party alarm app?
I'm using beautiful widgets and having no issue at all with battery life. Very happy with it.

Can it access stock alarm directly like the stock clock widget when you tap it ?
If it's not possible, I probably would just stick with the fancy widget.
Your could do that in the past, (asigning whatever app you like to different areas of the beautifull widget)
i have not used it for 6 months thou.

Does use automatic Geolocation?
I'm currently running beautiful widget and i'm quite happy with it...
Best weather widget IMO is snowstorm. Small, elegant, customisable, skinnable. Updates based on location. Accurate forecasts.
Decent digital clocks are a problem, though - most of them are pretty ugly looking to me. Quite like the small sony one that's built-in, if only it opened the clock/alarm apps when you clicked it...
+1 for snowstorm
For the clock use "glass widgets" which will allow you to choose which app to launch once you have clicked it

Howdy folks,
What is everyone's weather widget app of choice? At the moment I'm running Beautiful Widgets on ADW Launcher, but I'm interested in playing around with some different ones to get the feel I want. What do you guys use?
I'm using the weather channel app. It works well and has a good user interface.
I love Beautiful Widgets as well. One that a lot of people seem to like is Fancy Widgets.
I'm using Palmary weather Pro. There's also Palmary weather free.

I'm guessing the app doesn't FC as much as it did a version or two ago? I had abandoned it a while ago because it got slower and more unreliable with each release for a spell.
[Edit]
Ugh. Got the latest version of the Weather Channel app for my Vibrant and I get the same odd behaviors - unexpected closes, slow interface, etc. Downloaded Palmary Free and I'm much more pleased. Lacks some of the nice features that Weather Channel had but, geez, I'll take stability over some minor functions any day.
I want a widget that is similar to beweather. I want a clock/weather combined widget, but I really want an analog clock. I found this: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/analog+clock+weather+widget, but the app no longer exitsts. It's almost exactly what I'm looking for. Anyone know of an app that would be like this or what I'm describing? Thanks
This one looks ok: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5ncGltcG9ydHMuc3VwZXJhbGFybWxpdGUiXQ..
but your best bet is probably going to be this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5wb3J0dWdhbGVtZ3JhbmRlLkxpdmVDbG9jayJd
If they don't have one you like, you can make your own
Search the market for "Beautiful Widget" many custom skins and lots of user settings.

But does it have a clock with hands? (which is what I take it he means by "analog clock")

Correct. I have purchased Beautiful Widgets, Be Weather, and HD Widgets in the past, but none seem to have an analog clock. THere's specific apps that are just analog clocks that are great clocks, but they don't implement date/weather data as well. I'd rather not have a page of separate widgets if I can avoid it.
FWIW, you can beautiful widgets for free on getjar. That way you can try it out without buying for it from the market. If you haven't used getjar, it's not warez. Don't know how they offer free apps but it's legit, as far as I know.

Did you try 1010ti.me (second link in my post above)? The attached screenshot isn't pretty, but I made it from one of their stock clocks in about 10 minutes of playing (I've never used it before). There are nicer ones you can download you might like too...
I'm currently using Google's stock widget, but it sometimes fails to load the weather data so I can't rely 100% on it.
So what would you guys recommend?
Hi,
I would recommend Beautiful Widgets (2.60$) for the widget, it's the most customizable and beautiful . And I would recommend beWeather (3$) or GoWeather (0$) for the App (have not decided between the 2 yet…).
To be noted that Beautiful Widgets and beWeather are free on GetJar, so you can try them. But they are not the latest version, so if you like them, get them from the Market.
I did try Fancy Widget (0$), but not the Unlock version (2.60$), and the free version add many functionalities removed so I did not really evaluated it.
Hope this help…
Hi,
did you try "the weather Channel". I am happy with it.
Best.
