I just use the app provided by our local observatory. It’s good enough

Greyfoxsolid OP ,

What’s it called?

MyObservatory. It’s made by the Hong Kong Observatory so I don’t know how well it’s gonna work in other countries.

Yeah MyRadar is the only app that seems to give me a reasonably accurate forecast in Ohio. I block ads and mostly look at the actual radar though.

Wunderground went to crap and I’ve really tried to like Shadow Weather but it’s wrong too often. Meteo Weather Widget is decent but not as useful to me as radar.

Greyfoxsolid OP ,

I’ve tried the majority of the weather apps on the android app store, and they’re all just mediocre compared to MyRadar.

Then again, MyRadar is mediocre compared to what Dark Sky was. What an unfortunate situation with that app being bought by Apple and turned into WeatherKit or whatever. That was the best weather app, hands down.

I’ve stuck with today weather. I never even tried another one after that

Weather underground was so good before IBM bought it, it’s a shame

EmpathicVagrant ,

Hah I remember using Weather Underground before I landed with My Radar.

Now I’m never going anywhere else until someone acquires MR and ruins it.

DanglingFury ,

How do you get forecast on my radar, only has radar for me.

DanglingFury ,

O shit is was a layer on the radar. Tdil

Deconceptualist ,

Pull down the shade at the top where it has your location and a basic 2-day forecast. Then if you scroll down you can see an hourly as well as a detailed 10-day forecast.

weather.gov works fine, thanks

Glifted ,

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

Greyfoxsolid OP ,

I like being alerted to weather events such as warnings and watches. I also like hyper local forecasts.

ltxrtquq ,

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.

Jessica ,

Your “hyper local forecasts” are likely total BS or they are just taking data from other sources such as weather.gov

Greyfoxsolid OP ,

No, they tend to be correct.

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

wellee ,

Wait you have a weather app you like? None of mine are remotely accurate

scytale ,

Wunderground has been the most accurate for me. You can also narrow the forecast down to your zip code.

Ejh3k ,

I’ve been using it for at least 15 years at this point, and my job relies on accurate forecasts.

HydrogenLine ,

The weather channel app has some pretty good widgets. No adds on the widgets either

FilterItOut ,

I use the one in the pic, and I have to say it is pretty damn good at predicting rain.

Greyfoxsolid OP ,

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.

DanglingFury ,

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

jimp ,

I check them all and choose the nicest forecast

fushuan ,

Any app that works with the Spanish weather provider will have the best predictions possible for me, it’s sad that most don’t let you swap providers.

Meltrax ,

This is a shit meme, dude.

Greyfoxsolid OP ,

Oh, sorry.

alarratt ,

I don’t even know who you are

getoffthedrugsdude ,

MyRadar on Android?

Greyfoxsolid OP ,

You will.
