Weather forecast widget

Does anyone know where I can find a widget that is basically identical to the Weather Forecast one in the ManUP456's REVOlution theme,but gets its data from somewhere more reliable.
I love the way that it looks. It fits my home screen perfectly.
The problem is with the data itself. For instance, the app says that yr.no says that the temperature is going to be 80° here tomorrow, but the Weather Channel forecasts a temperature of 96° (definitely more like it).
I'm not sure if it's a problem with incorrect data, an inaccurate conversion from Celsius to Fahrenheit, or what.
There really isn't much point in a weather forecast if it's horribly inaccurate, though.
Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks, guys.

Sure its exactly the name of your thread title. Search the market for "Weather Forecast Widget" its much much more reliable and looks good as well.

That is the widget in Manup's theme. I also use it but find the data to be less than accurate.

I downloaded the "Weather Forecast Widget" by Francois DESLANDES from the market.
I like it so far. It doesn't have the 7 day forecast like yr.no's, but the four day forecast shows up instead.
Here is my quick review:
Widget sizes include the following:
1x1
2x1 full day
2x1
2x2
4x1
4x2 *
4x3 *
4x4 *
* includes forecast and calendar
The weather can be aggregated from Google or NOAA (much more accurate than yr.no).
With the paid version, you can choose from 17 different icon sets and 27 backgrounds.
I tend to prefer the HTC icon set (someone derived the HTC weather icons from the weather app so they could be used here).
The widget sizes that includes the calendar has current conditions or today's forecast (your choice) at the top and the forecast for the next two days below it with each day's events listed below its respective day. (A tap will take you to the calendar app of your choosing)
This is a great widget set for my purposes. It is incredibly customizable.
If you're looking around for a good weather widget, try the free app. If you're like me and need more visual customization, go for the paid app key.​

Thanks, guys.

Agreed. Great looking widget, but completely inaccurate data. When I finally got it to acknowledge that I'm in Tampa and not Jacksonville, temps were still way off.

That is odd. In my case, the location is spot on and the temperatures mirror the NOAA website perfectly.
In lieu of funcrusher's experience, results may vary.
I'd still recommend it though.

My bad, I was referring to the one in manup's theme.
Trying Weather Forecast Widget now.

Haha. I probably should have figured that out. Oh well, a full day of classes has me a little slow at this point.

its nice. too bad you cant skin the free version. some Buff icons would be nice.

Without a doubt the best is Snowstorm. For some reason it's very hard to find in the market as it doesn't appear under "weather widgets" search, but it works fantastically. Also the first reply for "Weather Forecast Widget" is decent advice. It's great as well.

Snowstorm seems useful, but I tend to like how weather widgets displays both the high and low for each day. I haven't spent much time with it, so I'm not exactly sure if there is a way to do what I'm talking about.
I do like the forecast screen on snowstorm much more than weather widgets, but there are trade offs.

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

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 !

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

[APP] [REQUEST] Changing Weather Live Wallpaper

If this hasnt already been done, I think it would be a good idea. A weather app with live wallpapers. It's kinda a rip off of sense/beautiful widgets. The idea would be a weather app that based on the weather in your area a live wall paper would display. So if its sunny you have a live wallpaper that is clear with the sun out. Rainy the wallper is raining so on and so forth. If an app exist already please let me know which one and ill delete this post, if not discuss.

If im correct beautiful live wallpaper does what your asking, its in the market.

It looks like it does but it requires beautiful widgets

I love beautiful Widgets with my live weather wallpaper. Highly recommended app.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

There are several in the market other than the Beautiful Widgets one. I personally own:
Radar Live Wallpaper - animated radar loop from NOAA by city
Weather Live Wallpaper by Travis Pearson - similar to Beautiful Widgets but imo not as nice of animations
Also, searching for Weather live wallpaper in the market returned 4 or 5 including the one thats packaged in with WeatherBug Elite.

try Animated Weather Pro.
Not a live wallpaper but it's beautiful as it gets.
I guess the developer could step up and make a live wallpaper out of it.

[App] Animated Weather Widget

Have tried many weather widget apps before. Many are good, with HTC Sense-like UIs, but I have to say my favorite one thus far is the animated weather widget. I currently have the free version installed and am extremely happy with the stability, usability, and overall effects. I originally tried out out because my old one kept crashing and testing its configuration. I would have been happy with something stable (which this has ben so far), but I have to say that I was blown away by the effects and amount of detail within the forecast app. Pretty happy so far, will have to see what pro has to offer.

very nice weather app

I found it to be great, although if there happen to be a lot of alerts, it seems to drain battery faster than normal.

this is pretty sweet.

Coolest of the COOL!
We all have these Smartphones with great graphics, super fast processors, and a whole bunch of other cool **** - but having Android and a cool phone is just the beginning.
Who ever hasn't tried AND LOVED Animated Weather is really missing out the coolest of the cool weather apps with incredible scenes for each weather scenario! My wife gave up her i(DUMB)Phone so she could take over my EVO with A/W on it.
Pardon the pun, butt, she saw how cool it is when a storm BLOWS in and either rains like hell or howls up a blizzard. She lives and dies for any change in the weather so she can see it in the forecast inside.
Hey THANKS A/W, the more cool stuff you bring to the app the more I get [email protected]#$%^_)(*&^%...I get, you know what I mean!

great
this is really a good widget to have

Yea this is okay I have tried it but with some of the new ROM (3.0) not really needed.

mehh looks ok but i'll admit that devs need support by making paid apps but price is a little steep. any who also agree this would probably just kill my sense 3.0 rom and be also sorta redundant
good find tho
