hello again ladies and gentlemen I'm Joe handy the Android thority app guy everyone cares about the weather it determines whether or not we should be carrying an umbrella or a jacket or be hiding in the lowest part of our house so today we're going to be taking a look at the best weather apps for Android first on our list today is the Weather Channel the venerable authority on the weather at least on TV is number 9 on our list sadly the Weather Channel app used to be a lot better but recent updates have scaled down the functionality quite offence it still delivers the weather and radar but that's really all you can get out of it these days the app took a left turn and started doing some social achievement points thing that half of the people liked and half of the people don't like it's still a great weather app with some solid widget options but it may be a little too much pizazz for some people 8th on our list is a nifty little weather app called radar now if you don't want the fancy apps with the potentially bloated features then you want radar now it contains a simple interface that shows you the radar in your area and weather upon request it really is a minimal app there are no screens to swipe there were things to look at just a big old radar waiting for you when you open it to use the weather click the cloud button at the top and it'll show you the weather there isn't even a widget so if you want something small and out of the way this is your best bet next up is a weather service that we're all pretty much familiar with called a key weather it's a well-known and generally trusted service for the most part and the app isn't all that bad either it comes with the standard features like radar hourly forecasts weekly forecasts and more you can also pay to remove the ads the app is very hollow centric so for hallo Yolo fans you will be pleased the widgets are no different you can get a desk clock style widget if you prefer and there is also a dark and light holo style widget you can add as well overall it adds up to an above average experience for weather fans number six on the list is a capable weather app called weather Pro it's a pretty functional app with a nice interface and has most of the features that you could ask for this includes a large variety of weather charts radar daily forecasts and a whole lot more the widgets aren't bad either ok so here's the thing with weather Pro on its own it's a perfectly decent paid weather app however there are a few services that the app makes you pay a premium to use that's right it's a paid app that makes you pay a second time for features so it may very well have been a top three weather app but we'll never know now because paying for features twice is a really bad idea into the world of Android WeatherBug elite qualifies as a relic it's been around since the good old days of Android 1.5 and 1.6 and it's still around today the impressive part is that it's still among the best weather apps out there has all your standard features like hourly and weekly forecasts and even radars the widgets for WeatherBug elite are actually really nice and are definitely the apps strong suit the background and text on each widget is customizable so you can fit it to any theme it's always been a good app for Android and it seems like it will be for a long time number four on our list is called and I hope I get this one right el medio whether for our friends were more interested in international weather this is a great app to start with you can look up and save locations across the world for quick reference the only downside is it isn't as feature heavy as some of these other ones in terms of widgets it's not necessarily a weak offering but it's far from being as strong as some of the others on this list there is a clock widget in a small weather widget one of the fun little features in this app is the ability to report on the weather directly from the app so if it's inaccurate or needs an update you could do it personally those'll first in our top three is Yahoo weather it's been a long time since yeah who has been a top three and well anything but their weather app is actually pretty decent it was also updated very recently and now touts a new and slick interface with a few new features is it better than it was before oh yeah the improvements are too numerous to list here so we'll outline just a few its added features like daily forecasts maps wind and pressure precipitation and sun and moon phases it's not too much different from what it used to be but it's still way way better number two is from a name pretty much everyone already knows of course we're talking about go weather from the people who brought you all of those other go apps this is a solid weather app that delivers at least the basics and what you need for weather where go whether really shines is the theming you can get widget themes and app themes to make your weather look how you want it to look the premium version brings an extra widget and some extra features including the theming but the free ones work just fine as well it's one of the best if you need to theme your weather and it also works really well with go launcher and here we are the number one best app on the list and it's weather local forecast also known as one weather this weather app is simply put beautiful it has everything you could possibly need it has radar forecasts weather by the our weather fun facts every time you open the app and just a general awesomeness that surrounds it it's all wrapped up in a very nice interface and it even has really nice widgets these include a clock widget a fashionable little circle widget and a few other widget options you can pay to remove the ads but it's otherwise free to use really couldn't find much to complain about with this one if you look at the leaderboard you can see all these apps and how they stack up as usual it's how they were rated in the Play Store and not our personal ratings so there is no bias here to check them out use the links in the video description this is truly one of the most varied apps that we've done you have your basic minimal weather apps your full-featured weather apps and even a few apps with some unique and fun features like go launcher steaming or weather local forecasts weather fun facts once again I'm
