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.

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.
Someone can tell me why news and weather app don't work on my wildfire? I install .apk and app crashes on start!!! Please give me a normal app! I'm using original FROYO 2.2.1!!!

Go Weather
I think that Go Weather widget from the Market is great for Wildfire!
Here is a screenshot of Go Weather 4x2 widget on my home screen
I use the free Scrollable News Widget, and it's one of the best news widgets I've tried, even better than the native HTC one.
may be you need to reset factory settings on your phone. or better install another rom if possible.
Attached, it works perfectly for me on stock 2.2.1. I had the same problem but then I found another version somewhere here.
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

I have a love hate thing going on with Blur, even the remnants we see in Gingerbread, and have found that the only reason for my continuing to use it is down to the Social Networking widget.
This makes me sound like some kinda facebook and Twitter junkie which I am not really but I do find it handy not to have any notifications and to check out those social sites as and when I want to. The fact I can get the information on one application is handy as well rather than have to log into both apps individually.
So my question....is there a all in one, well facebook and Twitter anyway, widget that does a similar job to the Social Networking widget in Blur ?
Have looked through the Market and nothing leaps out at me.
I used to use Colorized Widget
the only gripe with that is 1) it doesn't work with Launcher Pro
2) I believe to get twitter and fb on one widget you have to get the paid app?
Another is Pure Messenger Widget it's a paid app again.. but it does both
Last, is Launcher Pro Plus. it's launcher alternative.. which has those functions built in. again it's a paid app

yeah LP already comes with widgets. i dont use launcher pro, i would if it were as smooth and had as much options as ADW EX. colerized widgets is nice though, there are another set called ADP widgets i think
Pure Messenger is awesome but its not battery friendly.
Android Pro Widgets and if you use GO Launcher there is an add on for it.

Many thanks for the suggestions.
Seems as though Blur did come up with one good idea for me at least !
I have tried CM7 and other de-blurred ROM's but that little widget is so handy.

It's alright.. the theme of it isn't that appealing to me imo but its functions were great.
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.
