But don’t just listen to us! Here’s what the experts are saying:

"Basically, forget everything you knew about The Weather Channel's app, because for all intents and purposes, this is an entirely new thing. And it's fantastic." - Android Police

"One of the other new changes aside from an awesome new user interface is the way the app will alert you of rain. Before it had a general idea, but the official Weather Channel app will now tell you the exact time it will start raining in your location. That’s neat." - Android Community

"My personal favorite is the new and improved narrative of climate descriptions. For example, the app now gives a more precise idea of what to expect from the weather in your area. Things like “dry conditions will continue, ” and “expect rain until 4 pm, ” show up to clue you in about local weather. You could say, it pretty much takes the guesswork out of reading weather forecasts." - Android Headlines

“We love [The Weather Channel app on Android] because we can hit all the important features, like ‘What It Feels Like’ temperature, the 10-day forecast and hourly temperature, faster than any other app. If you need the ‘expertise’ of a meteorologist, the short and sweet video forecasts will get you up to speed in no time.” ~Gizmodo’s The Best Android Apps

”Great, up to the minute weather updates right to your phone… Terrific, basic weather app backed by experts.”~Appolicious

“You can count on the fact that the data is vetted by a large team of on-staff weather professionals.”~ZeroPaid

“The Weather Channel app is necessary... With voice search, hourly forecasts, one-click access and local video highlights, this free Android app is essential…” ~Appolicious

“More intuitive, good-looking, and user friendly… Thanks to The Weather Channel, you will have comprehensive knowledge about predictions from wherever in the World.” ~AndroidZoom

Gold Medal winner from Gizmodo’s best weather apps!

  • I love that you can practically use the app as the website. You can access your account and post videos and pictures to the eyewitness page. I also like that it tells you the "feels like" temperature. Lastly, being able to have the list of cities I check the weather on alot always listed there is really convenient.
  • is find ich die beste wetter-app. einiges manko: ständige waldbrandgefahrmeldungen. - in Salzburg?!? trotzdem wirklich tolle app. nur empfehlenswert. und vl lernen die angeblich 200 meteorologen vom weather channel ja mal, dass waldbrände in österreich eher eine seltenheit sind.
  • Ich habe ein Wetter App gefunden das meinen Anforderungen genügt und nichts kostet. Beste Wetter App hier im Markt ' wie mein vorredner schon erwähnte. Jetzt versteh ich auch warum der Lizenz Vertrag so lang ist! Ein kostenloses Wetter App in Perfektion mit Wiget! Super :)
  • I think this is the best weather widget. It shows the weather "forecast" on the main screen not only the current temperature outside - that which i can see with my eyes. So you don't have to open the application to learn more about your location's weather.
  • Ich gebe gerne 5*, weil diese Wetter App gar nicht so schlecht ist!!! Wenn ich viele Anzeigen hier lese, kriege ich das Lachen; aber mit was ists Deutsche Volk überhaupt zufrieden?? Das was wirklich nervt ist das laaangsame runterladen der Apps!!!!
  • Habe so ziemlich jedes kostenlose wetter App ausprobiert. Für meine Region (Mechernich) ist diese App die genaueste in Vorhersage und aktueller Temp. Temp.Anzeige in Statusleite war für mich wichtig sowie Unwetterwarnung.
  • Meine letzte wetter ab war total unaktuell. Diese hier ist das perfekte Beispiel für eine gut funktionierende wetterapp. Das einzige was noch fehlt wäre ein schickeres design für den homescreen.
  • I love this app but with the last update it stopped working. The app crashes without appearing and widget shows nothing. Im using 4.0.4 on SGS2. Please fix. EDITED: No problem anymore!:)
  • A year ago I unistalled this app because of force closes & general sluggishness. Now it works perfectly. Maps pop up smoothly. It is much faster. Thanks for the improvements.
  • I Like this app alot. The app is very informative, and useful. The app is also very user friendly. I also like all of the extra features and ability to customize.
