Shortly after Darksky left Android, started using Windy. [1]

Not necessarily a simplest solution for weather forecast, but provides wealth of information to satisfy my meteorological curiosity as well. (I pay Premium for higher precision data, and I think it worth every penny IMHO.)

On android, I switched to the open source "wX" app, which uses NWS data under the hood. It's incredibly detailed and although the UX is a little rough it's because it's aimed at power users, so I figured the HN crowd might appreciate it.

On Android I use Geometric Weather. I believe it uses AccuWeather.

https://weatherflow.com/ is also good. I pay for their iKiteSurf product as a kitesurfer and it works decently well once you understand what "16 knots" at one spot vs another really means out on the water.


Wow, it has super recent street cam images throughout my city. I had no idea this existed. Thanks!


I use VentuSky. I pay for the premium layers. Happy customer
