I’ve already asked this on the lemmy.ml instance, but I figured I’d ask here as well!
What weather app does everyone use?
Personally I like the built in Google one, though I always consider getting one with DarkSky in it so I can get weather notifications.

I like Today Weather a lot. Pretty widgets and reasonably customizable
Geometric Weather from FDroid is my absolute favourite. Clean, no adds. It even has a live wallpaper that shows current weather which I love.
I always like wunderground for its accuracy and there use to be an app for it, but HP cut off the API. Now I use Prognoza on f-droid, seems OK.
HP? Wunderground is owned by IBM.
Ooops, sorry, got my accronym companies mixed up, you are correct.
If you want to be mildly terrified, do a search on which weather apps do NOT collect and sell your data. Hint: you won’t find many.
They are notorious for gathering background data, including your location, obviously.Unfortunately, most of the weather apps that claim to not sell your data are subscription based and fairly expensive.
I used to be a weather app nerd, but I’m also a privacy advocate, so these days I just use a bookmarked weather website.
I like Yr a lot. Simple and (mostly) accurate, even outside Norway.

AccuWeather for the “hyper local” weather.
I just started using weawow. So far it’s pretty good.
Myradar. Someone recommended it to me on r/ and it’s been really good.
Same, with the hd and hurricane add ons.
I use Weawow, I like their widget and how customizable it is.
windy has the best radar and I’ll just use my browser to go to weather.com for forecasts.
NOAA Weather. No frills, just the straight data that everyone else uses in straight forward graphs and visualizations.
Yr Weather https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nrk.yr
Seems to be the most representative of my specific location.
Radar Scope so I can see where the rain is headed.
I also have like seven other weather apps that never agree with each other exactly, so I just see what the consensus is amongst them all and guess.
Shadow Weather (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noaimgames.shadowweather) has a great presentation of detailed weather data, multiple weather services to choose from, current and future radar, and good developer support.
