Does anyone know of a Weather program that has a animated radar. I just got a wing and i work outside so a radar that moves is important. Im using weather watcher at the moment and its pretty cool. Thanks
do you mean an actual weather radar that sits in your phone or a simple graphic showing what a radar would look like but not providing any functionallity?
Accuweather mobile will show animated radar in PIE
weatherpanel does this and is free.
weatherpanel
it is the best IMO
you can add in any weather maps you want it update them at whatever interval you set, then play a slideshow of all the stored images which gives you moving radar maps

Is it possible to get the windspeed and winddirection shown on the HTC Home Weather plugin for the chosen city? If yes, how can you do it and if no, any idea if another plugin can be shown instead of the weather plugin?
I really miss this too...
I don't think a weather forecast is really useful without wind directions / speed.
Wind speed and direction would be great.
Maybe somebody could make a plug in ? It could use the data of windguru.cz It would be great
I'm all for windspeed and winddirection being shown on the HTC Home Weather display!
Hello guys. So i haven't seen a weather widget that is like 4x1 that holds a 4 or 5 day forecast. An example of what im talking about would be to...look at the stock HTC weather widget (the large one) and only take the bottom part of it...with the 4 day forecast OR the take the news and weather application (N1 Genie app) and the bottom part of the weather information. I think this weather widget would sweet.
My reason for this is that i don't really need a clock that takes up the same space and only shows me the current weather. if its hot right now i know its hot There are just so many clock instances and current weather but i would like to see what the future weather would be at a glance when i turn on the screen.
IF there is already an app out there I'm sorry for the request....and please let me know what it is (buy or free).
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY REPLIES!
+1000!!
I've been searching everywhere for something like this!
I couldn't believe that no one has made one yet? It would be the perfect weather app!
Snowstorm will do this for you, it's in the market. There's an option when configuring the 4x1 widget to show days in the widget.

Thanks for sharing!
Wow nice. Will get.
[unrealistic]If it is possible to have the actual live location as the background it would be even more cool.[/unrealistic]
It is great but I wish it has huge widget so I can put it on whole page in my launcher. Now it is only icon until I press it to launch.
I would buy it, but I doubt something like this will run very well on my G1. Looking forward to trying it though!
Been using this for a while actually! Pretty good! Looks nice, feels nice, does it's job
I get black lines flicker on the display when this is open. Apart from that I really like it.
Looks alot like Touch Weather by MobilityFlow WM
Love it! Thank you very much for share! I wish to set it up like live wallpaper in the future! Thank you
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks so much for share this fantastic application.. really good work.
This is great, I'd buy the pro version right now if it included a live wallpaper.
Saying that, I wouldn't mind more backgrounds, or maybe the ability to choose your own would be cool.
I ended up watched the effects through two full rotations, just couldn't put it down.
Love the lightning but I find the rain a little boring, sry.
Just curious but where are you getting your weather info from?
Cool thing!
Although a 4x2 Widget, maybe animated, would be the greatest
great looking app, would love to purchase once it's in a more finished form. live wallpapers, more/customizable backgrounds, a better widget.
looks great so far tho,keep up the good work !

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
runs fine on G1
Really nice app, hope for a nice widget soon.
not so good on the nexus one... everytime i click to open something or change something i get force closes, such as changing the location from village to lake or something it force closes...
WOW!!! awesome work on this app. HTC should take a page out of your book.
I wish real weather sounds could be added.

Ya, it doesn't work at all for me on the N1. I get a force close every time I open it!
Great looking app though.
Kinda pixelated on my Evo
Hi,
Do you know any weather app that does not have running service?
Yes, weather forecast app that can pull data "manually" ...
No need periodic / interval update ...
Widget is not necessary either ...
Moved to Q&A BW, Fancy widget, and even the default news and weather app has this I believe
Most have these "features" and I don't really like that either. I've noticed that most of them will let you change the frequency that they pull info. Some down to 12 hours.
Fancy widget has lots of refresh options. One of them being to only refresh weather manually.
Thanks for all the suggestions. At the end, I ended up with (again) Beautiful Widget 1x1 (I already bought this when I use HTC Desire).
The reason that I want to find this kind of weather app, because I want to limit the number of running (background) services.
So, I replaced the Beautiful Widget Home widget with "simiClock" because it is simple, elegant and uses black background (save battery life).
simiClock has weather info as well ... But it does not have forecast.
That's why I was looking for weather app which can be activated (launched) when I press the simiClock weather.
But, it seems I cannot find one ... The one with update/interval can be controlled (I am not weather obsessive guy, so manual update is the best for me).
At the end, I am back with Beautiful widget weather 1x1 ... until I found a nice weather forecast app to launch from simiClock
I purchased the Weatherbug Elite. It has the options to turn off the background processing and only grab weather data when you run the app.
it's unfortunate, but i'm running into the same situation
i want to disable the back ground processing of the weather app that i like, but the app doesn't have such a feature/option
the app is supplied directly from The Weather Network, and it's very accurate, all the other apps that i've tried before are not so great
Try WeatherPro, best weather app imo
try Fancy widget... you'll love it! great app
Moxier World is by far the best I've found.
It updates either automatically or manually.
It also shows local time and weather in as many world locations as you need. It has 5 days forecast for each.

yes, it is nice, it's what i'm using
Try this out. It has an option to set update interval (or disable update entirely)
What are the best Weather apps or widgets, of any variety and quickly why?
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!
I'm compiling a list of threads that will help people find the best apps/widgets of each category. Will recompile when done so your help is greatly appreciated!
Looks like Beautiful Widgets will take the win here, but I'm sure many will want another app/widget that's free.
weather bug--free
For Weather you are spoilt for choice.
Besides what has already been mentioned there's:-
eWeather HD Widget & Barometer ~ £1.85
Palmary Weather Pro ~ £1.85
Weather Pro ~ £2.13
Go Weather ~ Free
...... and many, many others which I will leave for someone else to add to.
i used optimus x2 weather widget..
its called today briefing..
I'm by no means well-versed in weather apps as I'm only starting to play with them, but these are my observations so far. Accuweather has nice icons that I like but keeps force closing on me. Hope that will be fixed soon. Genie news and weather is good too, you can choose to display just weather.
Beautiful Widgets is my choice. Fully customizable with downloadable skins for Clock, Weather, Battery widget, and Toggle Widgets.
Press the weather area and it will launch your choice of Weather App *I use WeatherBug Paid (I try to support if its a mainstay)* the Radar can be slow though but it works..
Press the Time spot and will launch you choice of Clock or Alarm. *I use Gentle Alarm*
Press the Date area and will launch your choice of Calendar. *I use Jorte*
All of that is customizable. For instance if you wanted to you could config it to launch Angry Birds on press of any of above or any other app or shortcut of your choosing.
I love the Animated Weather effects. though last week during Snowpocylpse here is Chicago area I thought the drifting was a bit overkill... LOL
