Weather app recommendations?

[arobb]

I'm looking for a new (free) weather app for android. I used "Storm radar" for years but a recent update has essentially ruined it. What's everyone using?

Storm Hunter (former KCCI guy, has great radar functionality) & 1Weather.

Weather Bug, MyRadar, and AccuWeather for Me

I second this. It's the only one I use now.

I use the built-in weather App on Android to get the day/week forecast. Then I use MyRadar for (obviously) a radar. It's free, but worth a couple bucks to get rid of ads and get advanced features.

RadarScope. Hands down the best radar app out there.

is there one that is basically the National Weather Service? I've used Accuweather but after seeing a John Oliver piece on them I'd like to use something else.

There are some great people working there but yeah their management is VERY anti NWS and pro privatization. The NWS has tried for a long time to make an app but AccuWeather always successfully lobbies against it saying they would be infringing on the private sector.

For radar data RadarScope is the best IMO and then I use Weather Underground for forecast data and whatnot. They are owned by The Weather Company which is an IBM subsidiary.

This. If you are looking for a "radar" app, and not more of a general weather app, RadarScope is the way to go.

Locally, for me, NBCDFW puts their S-band radar data on their app, which is nice.

Dark Sky seems to be far and above the best weather app I've seen or used, including radar.

I've always gone back to Weather Underground, mostly because I have a weather station that hooks up to it.
