The first thing that appears in the morning in my hands is the phone. I turn off the alarm clock and read Twitter. And then I watch the weather. After all, I need to understand what I’m wearing today. A similar scenario, I think, is for every second of our readers. And even more. Let’s try today to choose the ideal and most convenient tool for viewing the weather on your phone.
On our site there is a selection of unusual weather applications. And also an overview of quite a good candidate for victory – “Yahoo Weather”. Let’s look at the competitors.
Weather BZ
The first plus of this application is for the developer. He is Russian and quickly responds to reviews on the forum. You can select the forecast provider. It is possible to enable the forecast display in the notification area. I think this is superfluous. But this is purely my opinion. It is possible to change the forecast update interval from 30 minutes to six hours. Yes, and many more different settings. For example, you can configure a widget of different sizes. I liked setting up launching applications by clicking on the clock, date and forecast. As a result, I removed from the desktop superfluous icons of my favorite alarm clock and calendar. For myself, I did not find any cons. All the necessary functionality, design within – everything is fine.
“Weather and clock widget”
An application with such an uncomplicated name. But confusing already at the start. The weather app for some reason suggests a map and detailed information about my location. Installation of this very location is quite a long time. By default, the update is turned on in roaming. It can fly in penny. The update interval is from 30 minutes to 48 hours and even “never”. There is a good warning function about different weather conditions. For example, about rain, snow, ice, etc. The version without advertising costs € 2.16. But there is no advertising on the widget, but in the application itself it does not seriously interfere.
Gismeteo Weather Forecast
It would be strange if there was no weather application with this name. The application very clumsily determines the location. In my case, missed a kilometer by 30. Very simple settings. This is probably due to the lite version. But I have not found other applications from the developer. The choice, in contrast to competitors, only two types of widgets. The widget by informativeness is much weaker than the applications above.
“Weather”
Another application with a simple title. The application is managed exclusively with a snipe. The settings are minimum, information about the weather, in fact, as much. Exceptionally, the temperature and cloudiness. No pressure, no humidity, nothing of this. Widget two. One is very simple, and the second is too big is 4 × 2. And if you think that a large widget will provide a lot of information, then you are mistaken. The application, no doubt, will please the minimalists. But for minimalists, there’s Google Now.
Sense Flip Clock Weather
At the time of the development of Android, it was terrible. And the manufacturers made their shells. For example, HTC Sense. It was from there that this application went. At least, it is executed in this style. The update interval is from “never” to once every six hours. A very good widget, it can show the battery charge, date, location and, of course, the weather and time. Very beautiful animation of turning the pages. By clicking on the clock … open! If there was a choice of the application I needed, it would be better.
