Ever since I started using smart phones, I have been jumping between different weather apps and have not been very satisfied with most of them. I found the apps from the big weather providers like Accuweather and Weather Channel to be bloated and distracting with advertisements and irrelevant news. The app I was closest to being satisfied with was the free version of Dark Sky, but I didn’t get to enjoy it for very long since I discovered it not long before Apple acquired it. What are some of the best weather apps on Android right now?

Overdrop is a really nice one with a great looking UI.

Carrot Weather is also pretty good and has funny quotes it shows you if you like that kinda thing, but the dev is primarily an IOS developer so the Android app is pretty far behind feature wise if you compare the two versions.

+1 to Overdrop. I like it quite a bit!

Overdrop does have a great UI and plenty of widget options. I go between Overdrop and Today, as I prefer the overall UX of Overdrop, but find the multi-location switching easier to do in Today (unless I’ve somehow missed it in Overdrop).
