I'm a massive fan of Windy.com (not Windy.app, an entirely different service). They charge a premium fee for hourly forecasts but they're one of the few providers that provide access to the super accurate 9km ECMWF forecasts which are usually prohibitively expensive for private individuals to use. The app is absolutely laden with features especially those for outdoor sports.

Long time user and occasional donor here. I agree with all your points. I love that you can customize each view (daily with humidity and "feels like", weekly with wind speed, etc). And the widgets are just so well thought out and easy to customize to match your wallpaper. Lovely app all around.

I use this app and I really love it; I've even donated in the past. The pictures are awesome & it's so fun to see which one will load. I have even paid for a personal license for one of those background pics so I could use it as a wallpaper.

I just installed it and I'm very impressed. The widgets are especially cool.

YSK 🙂: weawow is a single person company.

This is amazing, especially for a free app. There's customisations for everything.

Immediatelty replacing my old weather app.

(Sorry this comment sounds like an ad but its honestly not - although that is what an ad would say...)

Unfortunately, it doesn't allow me to use my nation's weather service, so it doesn't exactly matter how good the App is. There's a choice of providers, but most of them are no-name aggregators.

Installed! I've been unhappy with my weather app for a little while now, looking forward to giving this one a try! The fact that they'll use an approximate location is really nice. Thank you for shouting this out!

This has a precipitation by hour graph!! Weather Underground can finally die.

Thank you for making me aware of this. I’ve been searching for a good clean weather app since Apple bought dark sky.

I have needed that graphical view of temp and precipitation. I only wish I could have both temp and precipitation probability displayed on the same graph simultaneously.

Thanks for the tip! We're going to LA for the weekend and it's neat having a local and travel widget.

I've actually been looking for a good Weather app where the usefull stuff isn't just locked behind a paywall. This seems great, thanks.

Super happy to see this recommendation as I'd been thinking it was time to ditch the stock weather app. I love how much info this gives without having to scroll past ads or open up a website. Thanks for the recommendation!

The one thing that bugs me about Weawow is that the logic for when to display rain or thunderstorms in the widget is way wrong. It seems to show the rain or thunderstorm icon at the slightest possibility of precipitation.

I downloaded this now and already love it.

Incredible app. Thanks for the tip!

Not that anyone asked, but if you're looking for an amazing weather widget with a timeline style, check out Meteogram. It's one of the best, most customizable widget I've ever seen. Not affiliated, just been a happy user for 3 years now!

How does this compare with Carrot?

Weather forecasting is just never going to be 100% accurate

Not in Cape Town it won't, OP xD

Does anyone know how to remove the lock screen temperature display?

edit: figured it out, I needed to disable weawow's always-on notification. I thought that I had done that right away after installing but must not have hit save or something.
