Need a sleek weather widget. Any suggestions?
- Thread starter GrandP
- Start date
I bought beautiful widgets 2 years ago and Fancy Widgets looks very similar so I don't have the urge to pay for another widget app that is virtually the same. The selection of skins are almost identical except for each having a few exclusive ones. If I didn't have either one then I have no idea which one I would pick.
Tried it out on my xoom. It doesnt look anything like my wife's incredible :-( Thanks for the suggestion though!

BeWeather has migrating features. So if you want Fancy, HD and Beautiful Widgets in an all in one app.
Be Weather is the app. And it's forecast it gives a smooth animation. This is my choice over the 3 mentioned.

Informative thread - thanks!
I find all of the leading weather widgets to be pretty much the same, and they can have questionable battery consumption. So, when I got my Nexus, I went with Advanced Clock Widget for the following reasons:
- Very low battery consumption
- Breaks away from that somewhat tired look (my opinion) that the leading widgets use, allowing more flexibility in where I place info. The skins offered by Beautiful Widgets for instance provide some flexibility, but they all have that "BW Look".
- Provides a wider selection of info such as battery status, integrated right into the main home screen widget. BW has a separate battery widget, but I don't know of a way to integrate that status on the home widget.
On the other hand, ACW location doesn't seem to work well, and the detailed weather available by clicking on the widget brings to the standard Android weather, which never seems to be available wherever I go. Kinda sucks.
So, today I put BW on my Nexus and it looks predictably old school, compared to ACW - IMO.
Any other ideas?

Update:
With "Make Your Clock Pro" I've been able to implement the best clock/weather widget for my needs.
There is a free version, I have no idea how it differs from the paid/Pro version.
If you are tired of the "same ole", give this app a try.
I am amazed that this app is not on more top 10 lists!

I am liking 1Weather...it is pretty cool, small widget but quite informative when you click to open the app
