Best Clock and Weather Widget

Status
Not open for further replies.
I find Animated Weather generally gets the weather wrong (showed as raining on a 36 degree, clear day), has problems with the date (started showing weather for April and wouldn't show today until the location was reset) and shows the moon during the day and sun at night.

Just purchased Beautiful Widgets after the recommendations here. :)

I wish Beautiful Widgets and Weather Widget Donate would get together and make the ultimate set. I don't have my Droid yet, but from what I've read that both seem to have holes that the other fills nicely.

Weather Widget is skinnable and has tons of cool skins to try out and has some slick animations once you click on the weather icon. But it has some issues with updating properly-GPS always on trying to find your location, problems with sunrise/sundown icon delays, weather only updates manually. Beautiful Widgets has only the one type of clock and doesn't have quite the bells and whistles, but seems to have perfect functionality.

Beautiful Widgets is also skinnable. In fact, Weather Widget STOLE a LOT of skins from Beautiful Widget. So obvious and egregious, it was sickening. WW was hurting for users while BW was smoking them. So, they up and stole skins. I would NOT endorse WW for anything. They're crooks, and from what I've read in their feedback and in other forums, their widget is buggy.

BW is by far the better widget. It's got skins, got great animation, is updated regularly and is about to release compatibility to Honeycomb tablets. Nothing beats BW. I have no connection to the developer (I think he's in France), but he's been really good about updates. I remember when I was using Touiteur (before I uninstalled it), he was really quick about bringing updates and features. I can't say that about WW, again, as I've heard, nagging lengths of time before updates (and that's if he updates at all).

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know of a good weather widget that does not have a clock attached to it?

I love the new HTC weather widget, but I like to use LPP+ launcher and not sense, but that widget is not available unless you are running sense.

I'm looking for a full screen widget with no clock - does anyone know of any?

PS - I'm on a Thunderbolt running Bamf

BeWeather can be set with or without a clock ;) IMO it is the best weather app to date.

Is there a weather (with or without clock) widget where the widget itself is animated? I do not mind paying for it if need be but everyone I found does not animate till you click on it and go into the program. I've tried the free versions of a few of the ones mentioned but most of them are locked up and I do not want to purchase them only to find they don't do what I want. Also aware of the ones that make the live wallpaper show the actual weather. Not looking for that either. Thanks again.

Check out Elecont "Weather, Clock, Radar, Alerts, Quakes, ...". I tried a few weather apps and this one had most of the additional "stuff" I was looking for: Clock, Precip, Moon phase, Earthquakes, Geo-storms, etc. It's also got a few widgets included.

Haven't been using it long so can't speak to its' stability, although so far it's been good. Based on the available settings, the developer seems pretty thorough.

I find "Goweather" to be the best.

Does anyone know a widget, that updates weather per location, as phone moves?

I had a best ever weather widget "Weather and clock 3D", built into my old ViewSonic v350 (dual sim), but I'm not able to locate this widget apart.
It has beautiful 3D animation of both, clock and weather, updates location automatically, possible to add new locations manually - basically it's all there.
Anyone knows where to get the APK? :cool:

Just found a 3 very nice widgets - much better than what market offers (free) - first is very cool:
1. Free ViewSonic V350 Barometer and Weather Clock with Widget for Android from Elecont App Download in Weather Tag

2. Free ViewSonic V350 Animated Weather Widget, Clock App Download in Clocks & Alarms Tag

3. http://www.freeware4android.net/vie...eather-tag/fancy-widgets-download-174762.html

Animated Weather for Android - Weather forecast application. The exquisitely realistic video effects of cloudiness, rain and snow provide the vivid sensation of current or future weather conditions for more than 50000 locations. WWW.weather-android.com


Interesting that 5 people (or maybe just one with different Id's, and each with only 2 posts to their name.....hmmmm) have used these exact same words to cast their vote for AW. Maybe you guys should get together and pay for a banner ad!! LOL!

Read the reviews before downloading Animated Weather for Android - apparently it gets great votes for its visual appeal.....too bad the clock can't keep time and the weather isn't up-to-date. Oh, but other than that, it's GREAT!

I like the look of Fancy Widgets, a lot like the stock HTC Clock/Weather widget except that unlike the HTC widget, it doesn't include any built-in alarms function.

Beautiful is pretty nice, but I have to say for my vote BeWeather is the best. Why? - great look/feel, excellent animations, built in alarm function, very customizable (font, color of text, clock style, type of widget (Weather, weather with clock, weather with forecast), transparency, etc.). Also shows sun/moon, as well as daily and hourly forecast.

For those that were asking for a widget that just had weather and no clock, BeWeather can do that too.
