      Nothing really compares to what Dark Sky was, but MyRadar is as close as I could find and I’ve tried all the major and some not so major apps on the Google Play store.

        Can’t find a forecast as good as wunderground and can’t find a radar as good as myradar. They live side by side on my phone

    Nobody has mentioned windy. It has multiple maps and multiple sources you can look through. Highly recommend

      Yeah, I like the map view so much better than the way forecasts are usually given because it gives much better context. You can see the cold and warm fronts and the various storms in the area and watch the forecasts hone in on the truth as time passes and they need to rely less on intermediate forecasts as they get replaced with actual data.

          It’s a different app of the same name but it’s very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
          It’s probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it’s not the best for hourly weather and radar.
          They have the same name but it’s too very different experiences.
          The windy app with a red icon is far superior in my opinion.

      That looks pretty useless unless you live in whatever country there based in though, which certainly isn’t the UK.

        If you’re in the US (as Obinice pointed out), type your zipcode in the box in the top left and you’ve got your hyper local forecast and any relevant warnings and watches. I don’t care for or want extra notifications, so that’s a bit of a blindspot for me.

        Also, if you’re using firefox on android you can hit the 3 dots and “install” the zipcode specific forecast, which just gives you a shortcut to that page on your homescreen.

      The only weather app as far as I am concerned. Just give me the facts, and hold the ads and BS

    I really like Weawow. I can customize the weather source and display it without ads.

      I use Weawow as well and I like it. I really like the fact that I can use the NWS as my main source of information.

    Gross, much prefer Wx, Breezy Weather and sometimes RadarOmega to watch severe weather outbreaks.

    I switch weather apps a lot. Actually “clima” and “Bura” are really good. Clima has a simple design and Bura looks nice with some fancy graphs.

    I use Flowx, it’s customisability and access to so many excellent weather predictive models please me greatly.
