so, whats the big deal about this app? there are countless weather.io apps in the play store that give the same information.
a fan favorite weather timeline
my new favorite Forecaster
and others (that I'm too lazy to link) like Arcus, weather wild, simple weather ect.
not only does this app not look that great, but they are also charging $3/year, which is next to nothing, but when other apps do the same thing, look better, and cost a one time payment of $3, I dont see the hype about this app.
Maybe you can work with the dev of Weather Timeline to integrate the PressureNET data into a really nice weather app. Best of both worlds and a Dark Sky killer.
I purchased Weather Timeline a few months ago and love it. Great widgets and lots of configuration options.
*Forgot about Rainy Days. It's a great little radar app that lets you see nearly real time updates on precip in your area. Updates every 10 minutes and shows the severity of precip by color. I've used it successfully many times to dodge thunderstorms.
Weather Timeline has been one of my favourite apps since I first got it. Beautiful UI and animations. It has a persistent notification option meaning I don't have to open the app to find my weather, a 48 hour timeline of the weather and even rain, cloud and temperature maps. It is, I find, a perfect blend of simplicity and detail. Link.
Check out Weather Timeline. It is a paid app but in my opinion is the best weather app out there and totally worth it. They have a bunch of nice looking, customizable widgets where you can get things pretty minimal.
Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
The app Weather Timeline is a highly recommended weather app that can get its data from DarkSky as well as a few others. The interface is very nicely designed.
I can't personally comment about the auto updates since I've not done anything with those. It does say that background updates are disabled except for widgets, alerts, or notifications, so maybe those will be updated on their own?
Weather Timeline because of its UI, multiple weather sources to choose from, super customizable widgets and tons of options to tailor it to your liking.
unfortunately it's not available in Play Store anymore, unless you had purchased it in the past.
I'm currently eyeing Overdrop for when WT stops working, although it currently only pulls weather data from Dark Sky, which isn't the most accurate in my area (I use Weather Underground in WT).
I tried out Today Weather, but I don't like its iOS-esque UI, and the way the developer spammed /r/androidapps with his app promotion back when the app was still new.
I just decided to try out different weather apps for my phone, and all in all this was my favorite app by far. Great design, and presents the forecasts in a really good way. The widgets are great, and massive points for allowing you to chose what apps to use for clock and calendar for widgets that support them.
My only complain is that the Swedish localization is not complete, as some strings was still in English even when the app was set to use Swedish. It's not a big deal (I switched to English), but annoying nonetheless.
I do not think you will find any weather app that is 100% accurate all the time.
My recommendation would be to try Weather Timeline. With it you get the choice of using one of the 5 weather providers so if you do not like one weather provider you can easily switch use a different one.

I uninstalled it last month with similar reasons. Used it for 2 years or so before its name changes, but the app is getting more bloat every time I updated it. Sometimes it uses lots of ram in background for no reason and causes lag.
Currently I use Weather Timeline. Much more stable for me.
Weather Timeline is your best bet.
Minimal w/ a material design and super customizable.
I like Weather Timeline's stellar rain notification that tells you stuff like:
"It will start raining/snowing/drizzling in 12 minutes and will be for 45 minutes"
Hi, If you don't mind paying a dollar (or two), try Weather Timeline. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
But, if you are looking for a free weather app with widgets, accuracy and neat design, try Weather Wiz https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sixthsolution.weatherwiz&hl=en
I've been saying this since I got it and I'll continue saying this. It's the only app (apart from some Google apps) that I believe truly implements Material Design correctly.
I really love Weather Timeline's widgets, there's multiple widgets including plain weather ones and ones with clocks as well. I also enjoy HD Widgets, mostly due to the customizability (although it is a pretty simple app, nowhere nearly as customizable as Zooper Widget).
Good list, but with the recent Material design update, the official Wikipedia app looks and feels superior to LoboWiki
Timely just added custom alarm sounds and is still one of the sleakest and most well designed apps on Android.
Calcu is still missing immersion mode, but other than that pretty darn sleak.
When it comes to weather, <strong>Weather Timeline</strong> is the one for me:
Looks great, displays a lot of information in a really good and easy to read format and supports several sources including forecast.io (there aren't many other apps that do yet).
Weather Timeline is hands down my favorite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
And I also use Blitzortung Lightning Monitor if the storm coming posses a threat to training (I coach, and dont like WeatherBug detector) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.blitzortung.android.app&hl=en
Weather Timeline has been around since the Marshmallow days, and it’s still my go-to for that exact reason. It does exactly what you’re asking for, and does it well. Not to mention it’s still regularly updated~!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
I use one of their smaller widgets (4x1 I think) and I made the background transparent. http://i.imgur.com/Ys9PcxO.png
There's a fantastic app I use on my phone and, until yesterday on my android wear watch, really great and accurate weather app using forecast.io. I'm gonna shoot him an email asking about pebble support - it's exactly the kinda thing you're asking for with timeline stuff.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
If you're looking for a weather app check out Weather Timeline https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
It's not free but very affordable and well worth the money. Just a weather app. Not weather news, or any extra fluff.
Weather Timeline is my go to. Besides quickly being able to get a few hour forecast in the notification bar, it has a widget that has the temperature and precipitation as a line graph over 24, so it's ready to know what the temperature and rain will be all day.
The app itself has everything I want within a few chicks and it looks better than almost every other app doing it.
I'm still using Weather Timeline. Unfortunately, you can't use it unless you purchased it before it was sold and I'm afraid ACME has likely abandoned it.
I was confused why I don't see the premium purchase link. Found out I had got it for free in 2017. Probably it wasn't that good back then. At the moment I use weather timeline which I have gotten used to. It was sold to other company which I don't like. New app with new interface is a welcome change. Anyone having both the apps has any opinion?
I wasn't able to search for WT when I went to reinstall it on my Note9, but some kind soul helped me get it.
I didn't give any permissions (not even location permission) and It works fine for me.
If it doesn't allow you to open on your miui version, ditch that app. It seriously doesn't need that permission and they are seriously abusing permissions.
Move to other weather apps. For example, weather timeline - It might cost 2$ but It's a very good app. Alternatively you can use Google's weather information. It allows you to create weather shortcut.
Weather timeline is about the most perfect app in every way. Depending on the provider, the minimum update time is either 1 hour or 3 hours. (You can set it lower than that but it will still offer new information every hour or so). It does all you ask it for.
Price is at $0.99 IIRC
If you have an Android phone, I cannot recommend Weather Timeline enough, for its incredible forecasts.
It'll do things like, recommend you take an umberella to work with you if it detects there will be rain later in the day.
This morning, it predicted 15° by lunchtime, so we knew to wear plenty of thin layers to be able to adjust for that, but likely drop back down during the evening commute.
Weather Timeline has a widget like that.
I also use InstaWeather for Android Wear with a similar watchface.
Use Weather Timeline. You can use WU as a data source and the widget is much nicer looking. They also have an Android Wear face that changes color with the current conditions (and finally fixed the issue of white on white when it snows...)
Relay is your best bet for Reddit on Android. I promise once you use it you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. It perfectly adheres to Material design~~, and as your 5X has an AMOLED screen, you can turn on the Black AMOLED theme inside Relay to save a bunch of battery.~~ (Sorry, I was confusing my 6P for the 5X)
Use the free version of Relay for a bit and see if you like it. The only difference between paid is that there's sometimes an ad at the bottom of the screen in the free one.
EDIT: For weather, I strongly recommend you grab Weather Timeline. It's only 99 cents, and again, adheres perfectly to Material design (it actually won an award from Google for it). It uses Forecast.io as its source, and is extremely accurate. It has great widgets too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
Costa ma è fatta bene, ti consiglio di provarla inoltre ha diversi provider così se non ti trovi puoi cambiare tranquillamente.
Coming from Apollo... Boost is best client for Reddit on Android, IMO.
Weather Time line for weather apps - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
Enjoy your Pixel. ��
I absolutely love Weather Timeline. Yes, it's $0.99, but it's worth it. Go get Google Opinion Rewards and do a few surveys. You'll have the money for it in no time. Widgets are nice, lots of customization, multiple data sources if you find one to be more or less accurate than another, Material design, and your notification shows up on the lock screen. At least, it does on my 6P.
Well you can always find via "Installed Apps" section in "My Apps* or via your Order history. Anyways here's the link for Weather Timeline.
I use Weather Timeline - Forecast by Sam Ruston because there are a bunch of widget options and you can change the colors pretty freely. Would definitely recommend. I use a transparent one so all I see is the icon for the weather and a bit of text for the temperature.
Fwiw, this weather app recently started listing the UV index along with the weather, and has quickly become my go-to to see how much I should cover up/bother going outside at all.
There isn't. Weather Timeline (and other weather apps) have a permanent notification you can enable with the temperature as the notification's icon. The AOD shows notification icons, so that's where I get the temperature from.
I can't recommend Weather Timeline enough for accurate forecasts and a really nice interface (and widgets) for seeing what the days weather will be like.
It has some really sensible features.. things like, it'll warn you early in the morning if you should take an umbrella with you today. It is spooky in how accurately it'll predict rain.
Weather Timeline all the way. See the weather with a watchface, sticky notification, and app, and customize the hourly view to show the next four hours in a row.
I've been using Darksky for a while and it's always been decent as far as I can tell. (On Android, for weather, I'm using Weather Timeline with DarkSky as the data provider.) :)
I had to rethink my widgets for this phone, going from 4 icons wide to 5 wide. A lot of widgets can't be centred in a way I like, which triggers me and my need for simple beauty. Weather Timeline has some really great widgets which fit into the Material design aesthetic and are customisable. It's also a great weather app in itself.
I'm running the Weather Timeline Clock 4x2 (stretched to 5x2) widget with a transparent background:
I can't help you with all of these; but you could use weather timeline (that's the best imo but there are others) as your weather card instead of google now. The issue with this is that you'll sometimes have the weather timeline card and the google now weather card which is annoying. You could tell google now you're not interested in weather updates from it. The weather timeline card can also be swiped away but you can relaunch it from the watch which is nice.
Weather timeline: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
if you dont mind spending a few cents, check out Weather timeline (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather)
i like its simplicity/material design and it lets you choose from different weather sources.
Green icon is Popup Widget. It let's you make 1 button to have multiple widgets come up at once. Or one at a time. Up to you, but I prefer all at once. Widgets are Weather, default Samsung calendar, and Bitcoin ticker widget
After messing around with a few, Weather Timeline seems pretty good and I think I'll stick with it for the foreseeable future. Very customizable. Now if only people could integrate Radar Scope in to their forecast apps...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
Check out Weather Timeline. It does hour by hour and has six different data sources to choose from. My favorite part are the rain alert notifications. It's pretty cool to know that it's about to rain in ten minutes.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
Weather is Weather Timeline-Forecast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather Calendar is Calendar Widget-Month https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.candl.chronos
This is Nova Launcher with stock adaptive icons set to circular.
Widget at the top is Weather Timeline. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
Got the wallpaper off Google (Can upload it if anyone wants it for some reason)
Most of the icons are actually folders set to open with a swipe up and the first app in the folder to be the main icon.
Sure, it's the card widget for Weather Timeline, which is my preferred weather app. It does the usual thing where it launches appropriate apps when you tap on the clock, date or weather. By default it's more like a blocky material design card but the settings include variable colour and opacity.
Like the .novabackup ? Here you go , but make sure you have Weather Timeline installed
In Android, you have a plenty of possibilities to customise the appearance the way you want; there's an app for most things out there.
Specifically, I'd like to recommend Weather Timeline, it is definitely worth the money and offers a wide range of beautiful widgets.
Also, Nova Launcher covers many of the features you asked for. Play around with it !
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather i also liked this weather app very much. it has an watchface to display weather in a very simplistic way, as well as showing cards.
Weather Timeline with Wunderground as my source. With WT, I can type an actual address to get the correct hyperlocal weather information from sources that support it, like Wunderground and Forecast.io. I live in a city with a lot of microclimates, so hyperlocal weather is very useful for me.
It's the Weather Timeline widget.
It's a great app. Very accurate (for me anyway), has a beautiful design and the widget has a ton of options.
I used to jump from app to app all the time when it came to weather apps, and none of them seemed to work well for me until I found Weather Timeline. Fantastic app, and of course includes the information you're looking for as well.
Weather timeline (paid) let you pick the datasource, and help you choose one, by suggesting the datasource market share
Weather Timeline uses the same weather provider, provides similar rain alerts, and is a one time purchase instead of using a subscription based model. Plus it's not simply a port of an iOS app with a complete disregard for Google's material design guidelines.
I noticed that, too.
Possible option: The Weather Timeline app adds a wether card that has a lot more info when you swipe left than the Google card. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
The weather widget is Weather Timeline. I think his Google bar is one of the options in Nova Launcher.
It's a widget from Weather Timeline and the icon pack is Material Cards
Weather Timeline is pretty sweet. It still uses cards, but it includes a watch app to force a refresh, change the refresh frequency, or change the location. The phone app is beautiful and uses the same forecast.io source as arcus (plus, weather timeline lets you change the source to weather underground among others)
Alternatively, the Pujie Black watchface has a weather widget you tap on to bring up at 12-hour forecast or a 5-day forecast (both with graphs). Because its built into the watchface (and not a separate app that has to load), its smooth and fast.
I like Weather Timeline for my weather app and has a decent interactive watchface. Also Card settings for wear notifications.

It does look great. And material design is one of the many reasons I'm making the switch. I can live with an ad for a while no big deal. Thanks for the suggestion!
> as your 5X has an AMOLED screen
I thought it was IPS LCD?
> For weather, I strongly recommend you grab Weather Timeline. It's only 99 cents, and again, adheres perfectly to Material design (it actually won an award from Google for it).

Awesome! Forecast.io is what Dark Sky was using as source on iOS. Added to the wishlist! Thank you!
for clean Forecast.io I still feel (now after seeing Forecaster) that this one does a good job in being clean and displaying much information smartly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
The clock widget I'm using is a clock+weather widget from Weather Timeline, my personal favourite weather app. It changes colours depending on the weather outdoors. My wallpaper, Forest Live Wallpaper, does this too - it grows dark when it's night out and shows rain and snow.
I definitely think you can get a cleaner-looking weather widget. The squared-off corners of the Weather Network one just don't look great with everything else. Have you tried Weather Timeline?
I use Weather underground as the data source on the Weather Timeline app(Google Play), and it gives me pretty accurate weather updates. I don't know how much more accurate weather apps in other countries are, but I find weather underground reliable.
Much to my dismay this was the case on my G3 as well after swapping to Nova, but I ended up using Weather Timeline and it's widget to correct the issue
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&
Ignore the overall rating. They were acquired by Acme which owns MyRadar and integrated into their app, so its much more reliable data now.
It got pulled from public consumption via app store last year, following the developer going under and another developer taking over. If/when it's available again, I like this app. I installed it because, after switching from a Motorola phone to a pixel, I missed the Motorola control center widget, and this one has essentially the same functionality. I never actually used the dark sky app. I think their data source might be dark sky, though. It was when I first installed.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
Just thought I'd mention Weather Timeline as my recent searches for a Dark Sky replacement have not really turned up anything that I like in terms of user interface and functionality.
It's been a while since I used it but the original UI is still there and it has some nice variations in its widgets. As for the accuracy of forecast, it seems to be pretty much in line with Dark Sky and the others.
Back in the day I believe it was an award winner for its design.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
I'm thinking of going back to Weather Timeline, which was my main weather app before the original developer sold out.
Not sure if the reliability has improved but the UI is better than all of the alternatives I've tried over the last few days and it has a similar widget to the one you're talking about.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
>It's not like they're all just going to turn over and die.
Hopefully not, but I would not be surprised if some of the partially-abandoned apps dependent on Dark Sky API like Weather Timeline die off (URL only works for users who purchased the app previously). Weather Timeline was acquired by MyRadar with the intent to switch it over to their own APIs, but it has just sat stagnating for ages. It still works for me, but it is slow to load weather data. I don't expect it to keep working after ~~July 1~~ the API shutdown in 2021.
OTOH, the July shutdown of Dark Sky is a huge opportunity for the devs to restart the Weather Timeline project for users looking for a Dark Sky replacement.
Edit: typo
No, it's a different app - we're talking about Sam Ruston's Weather Timeline, which he had to sell due to too high losses, and is currently unlisted - that's why it's not visible to anyone that didn't install it.
It's called Weather Timeline. Pretty nice although things got a bit worse after a company bought it form the original developer. They're active here on Reddit, too (/u/radar_ranger). Unfortunately they removed other provider like DWD here in Germany.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
Yr is from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, also one of the sources for Weather Timeline.
Google will tell you about the weather if you want it to or not.
However, I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather I can't remember if I paid for it or not but if I did it would have been cheap.
Weather Timeline. Superb weather app. One of very few apps I bought and I don't regret it at all. Has nice themes, widgets, many options. You can also choose the weather provider.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
APK links here: https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/83gxdy/dark_sky_app_in_canada/
User there says this app can use Dark Sky as a source, as well.
I don't really care for the official app, I just care about the incredibly accurate local forecast, so Google around, see what you can find if those don't work for ya.
Danke für den Hinweis. Nutze Weather Timeline aufgrund der mit Abstand besten Widgets, aber die Daten waren eher so naja. Und siehe da, in der App kann ich auch Yr als Datenquelle wählen. Für heute schon mal ne deutliche Abweichung in der Prognose. Jetzt bin ich richtig gespannt, wann der Regen kommt und wer recht hat.
I use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
I don't use the widgets, I leave it as an always active notifaction. Just tapping it brings up the app on the weather screen for that day, there's a few options (24 hour by hour forecast, 7 day, etc.) that are right there on that screen. So two taps for all that information. There ARE widgets btw. I just don't use any, for any app.
Weather Timeline is one of the best reasons to have an Android
As a backup I have 1Weather.
Weather Timeline. Cost $2.99 but it's gorgeous, gives minute by minute rain predictions, and has really useful graphs and visuals. Highly recommend it!
If you have Android, I've used Weather Timeline for the past couple years. You can filter its alerts to your preferences, so you don't miss that tornado amid a pile of flood warnings.
Best $1.50 I've ever spent, it has great aesthetics.
I've been using this app for a long time now and it's pretty spot on. You can also use Google as well and add a weather shortcut to the homescreen.
Welcome! I hope you will find some useful apps. I forgot to add weather apps. I get weather info from google. Using assistant or google now cards. But, Some android users prefer dedicated app for weather. You can try Weather Timeline.
Weather Timeline - Forecast is pretty much exactly what you're looking for. Has everything you described in one form or another.
I know a lot of people speak highly of Weather Timeline. It's got a unique way of presenting the data.
Just checked out Flamingo for Twitter and it's awesome, the design is fantastic.
I also realised I have another app by the same Dev:
Weather Timeline - Forecast. It's a really good looking weather app, several data sources to choose from. Can't fault it. The guy seems to be pretty good at this kind of thing.
Not OP but he's running Android (most likely 5.0, 6.0, or 7.0) and the weather icon is probably a notification icon from a weather app (e.g. Weather Timeline can do that)
The app/widget I'm talking about is this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
I got a refund for now. Hopefully it will get resolved as I really like the look. Added an edit to clarify in the main post ;)
I use weather timeline's watch face. It comes with the app. The battery life is decent and I end the work day (7am-7pm) with 72% consistently on my LG Urbane.
Mir gefiel bisher immer das minimalistische an Weather Timeline. Gibt auch die Option zwischen verschiedenen Wetterdatenlieferanten zu wählen.
Weather Timeline just because I like the interface but it's forecasting is no better than anywhere else.
Regen radar can be very useful if you're specifically worried about rain.
Use Weather Timeline as your weather + time widget instead, it's really nice. I don't use Nova, so I don't know much about it, but try fiddling with the grid size, and place apps down.
The top one is Weather Timeline - Forecast and the bottom one was some custom Zooper widget I made that I no longer have the files for.
Dunno -- I never used a forecast.io (or Dark Sky) app on phone or desktop, only the backend service. Looks like they charge a subscription fee for the DS Android app, so I'm not likely to try it even if the maps and icons look awesome, since I've already paid for a couple of perfectly good Android weather apps (Weather Timeline and WeatherPro).
The GRLevelX products will display active alerts and warnings in a separate window. Other than that, I use the Weather Timeline app on my phone and tablet to receive realtime alerts. I also like RadarScope and PYKL3 Radar apps for viewing real time radar data on my devices.
Awesome, thank you so much for that list! I feel I should give some app tips back but really I use hardly any cool apps:
Weather Timeline is the best weather app ever and looks really nice too, I think it won an Material Design Showcase award
Its not an app but sportle.tv is really useful for watching sports online
Weather Timeline (RIP) - a really well made weather app
Overdrop - great weather app still in beta, currently only uses DarkSky weather info
Solid Explorer - powerful file manager with great UI
Moon Reader - very customizable ebook reader supporting any format you could possibly want
Daylio - mood tracker
Poweramp - customizable music player with a unique UI currently in beta
KDE Connect - a tool for making your phone and Linux desktop work together
Maps - great OpenStreetMaps client
Slide - super customizable FOSS reddit client with great UI and tons of nifty little features.
Sony Sketch - great drawing tool
Sleep as Android - alarm clock and sleep tracking tool with various options available to make sure you don't dismiss the alarm and go back to sleep
Backdrops - wallpaper app. great UI, many exclusive wallpapers as well as section with images provided by the community
Bitwarden - FOSS cross-platform password manager
Podcast Republic - a bit lesser known podcast app, but definitely my favourite, at least for now. controlling playback with the headset button is a must for me, and not many apps seem to support double and triple clicking the headset button for skipping forward and backwards.
Camera Roll - quite unique looking, FOSS gallery app
Weather Timeline is best weather app for Android and it has great widgets.
I like Weather Timeline, most attractive UI I think.

You should check out Weather Timeline then
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
paid for this and no regrets. By far the best weather app I've tried
I went for something that looks clean.
This is my Homescreen.
I swipe up for my App Drawer.
I swipe right for my Favourite Apps.
I swipe left for quick access to r/androidapps.
And I also have gestures to swipe down to expand notifications and double tap to search.
Edit 1: on the homescreen - tapping bottom of widget opens Weather Timeline, tapping middle of widget opens Red Bull Alert, tapping top of widget opens Google Calendar.
Edit 2: line on homescreen widget (underneath "Tuesday") acts as a battery progress bar... e.g. battery at about 75%
Edit 3: added links.
Edit 4: icons packs used are - Click UI, Elun, Rondo, Yitax. I then use Unicon to make a theme which incorporates my favourite round icons from each of these icon packs :)
I'm not OP, but they look like the Weather Timeline widgets.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
I'm guessing Weather Timeline.
Isn't Weather Timeline powered by forecast too? That's a lovely app for under a buck!
I like weather timelines widget. Should be on this list IMO.
Not stupid at all, it's Weather Timeline. Hands down the prettiest weather app I've ever used. Worth every penny. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather

You must have 4 pages for this to work due to the way I did the animation. So one page will be blank at the end. Put whatever you like on it.
This was made on an s8 so if you're using a different phone, stuff might not align.
If your lockscreen background isn't aligned the same way as the home screen, find 'homescreen blocker' in the klwp list and change the size or position.
Feel free to ask for help :-)
It's against the rules to post apks, so if you want black notifications in the notification bar, or to get rid of the lockscreen clock, navbar and status bar, you'll have to find them on XDA. Or DM me if you trust me.
If you're going to use these ^ then make sure you use the following; MAKE SURE YOU SET ONE OF THESE UP BEFORE REMOVING YOUR NAVIGATION BAR duh...

Weather Timeline should tick off everything you're looking for: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=en
There are a lot of posts like this and I avoid answering them because they are so vague I can't figure what to start with. So I'll recommend some of my favorite Android apps in general.
Most of these aren't free (might have to pay to remove ads). Everything on the list might cost you like 10-15$. I've spent hundreds on games. That: I regret. The pennies spent on these beautifully designed (all material design) apps I do not regret.
1 - Weather Timeline It's a great weather app and it allows you to have your weather in the slide down menu. Refreshed every 3, 2 or 1 hours so it has next to no battery usage. It looks like this.
2 - Pixel Icon Pack (or any other icon pack you like) One of OnePlus' launchers greatest features is being able to customize individual icons and names for apps, and in my contested opinion, the pixel icon pack looks best.My home screen. No launchers slowing you down. Just an icon pack and ta da!
3 - Solid Explorer is probably the best file manager for Android.
4 - Shuttle Music Player is by far the best third party music player for Android. You don't have to deal with Google play music trying to sell you music.
5 - Boost for Reddit I almost gave up on Android because every Reddit client sucked so much, and then I came across a beta of this app. It's not a beta anymore, and oh boy! This is the most material design -ish Reddit app for Android and it is far superior to any other app for casual browsing. I'll skip the details but it's good. liek, real good
I suggest Weather Timeline https://i.imgur.com/76fgxnv.png
I has different providers, a lot of graphs and works really well. And it costs virtually nothing.
Then Weather Timeline is right up your alley
here's my list, in no particular order:
- Weather timeline - Weather app. The widgets to me are the best there is, as far as weather apps go. Link
- LastPass - password manager. I switched from 1Password all those years ago. Have had great support with LastPass. Link
- Pushbullet - I use it mostly to share links between my different devices. There's more powerful features, though I haven't found a reason to use them yet (some of those features require a premium subscription). Link
- Textra - I use this instead of the default GS8 SMS app. The customizations are amazing, plus you can blacklist numbers, handy for blocking aggressive telemarketers and scammers. Link
- Fenix - 3rd party Twitter client. I like how you can tweak the appearance to your liking. It's been my twitter app of choice for years. Link
- Boost - reddit client. Same as above for this, endless appearance customisations. The only reddit app I've purchased and so far it's been just right for me. Link
- Popup widget - I 'hide' my home screen widgets with this app. No widgets taking too much space, just icons. Tap the icon, and the widget appears. Tap anywhere else on the home screen, and the widgets disappear. Really underrated app for customising your home screens. Link
- KWGT - endless customisations with widgets on this app, tho I really have only played around with the music widget. Link
- Nova launcher - my launcher of choice. There was nothing particularly wrong with the stock GS8 launcher, I just prefer Nova, have been using it since my Nexus 6 days. Link
- VSCO - I use this for my photo editing. The presets are really up my alley aesthetics-wise. Alternatively you could use Snapseed which is really good too. Link
- Waze - navigation app. Here in Malaysia, Google Maps do offer lane-by-lane navigation, which Waze lacks, but Google Maps always gets me stuck in a jam. Waze gets me from A to B faster. Link
- WhatsApp - messaging client. Self explanatory really, this app has made SMS irrelevant. I keep in contact with family, friends, colleagues with this app. Glad they finally added gif support! Link
- Inbox by Gmail - I used to absolutely LOVE Mailbox, but then Dropbox shut that down. Inbox comes closest to Mailbox for me. The swiping right/left has made emails a lot more manageable. Link
The weather app is weather timeline, with custom colors on the widget, and I believe the climacons weather icons. The censored widget currently just shows my name (I just figured I'd censor my last name so it's not quite so easy to find), but it's all sort of a work in progress, I plan to replace that widget with one that mimics the main menu of Fuchsia OS (the mobile UI, not the desktop UI), and the user icon will be replaced with my user image. My setup is a bit further along on my Pixel C, at least with regards to that widget, but it still needs my picture. I'd also really like to make it so I can open the menu to get to the weather, since otherwise it will be way too tight on space, but I'm not quite sure how I want to do it yet.
TL;DR:
Color: #F7F7F7
And the censored widget doesn't do anything but show my name on my home page for now, but I'm thinking I'll replace it.
Edit: I'm on mobile and couldn't get the bullet point formatting to work.
Weather Timeline is my go-to.

I use Weather Timeline on Android.
You can choose from multiple data sources, so I originally tried out each one and then used the one that seemed to be generally right.
The Dark Sky data provides a present rain graph which can be useful but not totally accurate.
No, it wasn't. I backed two of asap's projects that were actually via indiegogo (asap Connect and asap X-Connect) both of which delivered slightly late but otherwise great.
Sorry to hear about you experience with ZNAPS. From following asap, it sounds like there were a few fraudulent groups who nicked their demo videos and used that to get money. There are also genuine cheaper magnetic cables around that work but apparently not quite as well (weaker magnets, less reliable connection).

Android user here (and Mac user).
> In short, one of the major issues I think Android suffers from is having context menus up top on apps rather than at the bottom.
These are just called tabs. They've traditionally been at the top in Android, but you can easily swipe between tabs so it typically isn't an issue. They have recently introduced bottom navigation to the Material Design guidelines though, as screen sizes have grown and it's become increasingly obvious that having tabs at the bottom are easier to access.
> Another thing is the bottom black 'context bar?' that is global. It can be a bit off-putting. But I guess you get used to it since it is baked into the system and just has to be present.
Yeah, it's there on devices with on-screen controls (like the Pixel), and is typically black. It works nicely if your phone has a screen with good contrast levels (particularly AMOLED screens), but I do agree that the inconsistent appearance in different apps can be off-putting. I personally use a OnePlus One, so I just use hardware buttons instead.
> The back button functionality is nicer on Android since (I think) it can go back between apps?
I personally love the distinction between back and up in Android. It might be confusing for new users, but it does allow a cleaner way of going back in your history stack or going up the app hierarchy. I suppose iOS has something like this this now though, with the "back to x app" thing that they added.
> The way iOS handles the interaction itself is nicer (edge swipe is awesome)
Yeah, this is a nice thing in iOS, along with tapping the app bar to go back to the top. Unfortunately, swiping the edge wouldn't work in Android since a lot of apps have navigation drawers, so swiping should open those instead.
> Finally, there's the whole visual aesthetic. It boils down to a matter of personal preference but I think iOS edges out on a more general level here as well.
For sure. I think this is in part thanks to the iOS developer/design community. Android is slowly improving with the Material Design guidelines and such and you can certainly find nice apps (e.g. Weather Timeline), but it can be hit and miss. I also personally set all animations system-wide to 2x speed, so everything feels more responsive.

I've yet to see any app or site on any platform better than Weather Timeline.
I use Weather Timeline which is populated with data from darksky.net.
You will have to redownload whenever there is a new version. Bookmark this page.
Check it once in two weeks. When you see new version. Install it.
Btw, You should try weather timeline. It has good amount of customisation, good UI and you can also select different sources. (including weather data from dark sky)

Flamingo requests notification access permission after you turn on the feature. It listens for push notifications from the official Twitter app, either intercepts or dismisses the notification, and creates a native Flamingo notification to handle the intent.
The dev is Sam Ruston, also known for the Weather Timeline app.
Edit: Screenshot of the setting from Flamingo.

I recommend the weather timeline app. Comes with great widgets. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
I still use widgets, Weather Timeline and PowerAmp widgets are always on my homescreen. Aside from that I have Google Keep, Gmail, Any.Do and Audible widgets on other screens.
I think it's cause for many users they don't like 3 million pages as widgets tend to take up space, for something like say reddit I find it easier to just use a reddit app rather than a reddit widget, and some stuff like Facebook or whatever I personally don't need that stuff on my screen, if I want to check it out I just use the app, and if it's important someone would tag / @, message / DM me.

After playing with this app for 20 minutes, I bought it. After a day of using it, however, I'm seeing some battery life issues. Is this to be expected due to the fact that widgets are being updated in the background? It shows up as "Snap" in my battery stats.
I'm only using 3 widgets: Weather Timeline, TickTick, and Calendar Widget. I may try removing all 3 and and add one at a time to monitor battery.
Anyway, I hope I can get to the bottom of this. Love this app.

Other widgets used:
It's from the app Weather Timeline: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather&hl=nl
Weather Timeline, Inbox, Taskbar, Relay for Reddit, Native Clipboard, Custom Navigation Bar, and Solid Explorer. I don't own my Pixel C anymore but the Pixel C launcher is so far the best tablet launcher I've found besides the Google Now Launcher.
Weather Timeline - Forecast - Paid app but it's a really good weather app that looks great on tablets and is packed full of features. Also has really nice design.
Inbox by Gmail - Gmail ultimately has the better tablet UI but this one works well on tablets and I prefer Inbox's interpretation of email.
Taskbar - Adds a Windows-like taskbar, complete with an app launch/start menu and an area for widgets if you add it
Relay for Reddit - One of the best Reddit apps and one of the only three with a decent tablet UI. Sync has a better front page UI but the comments section is just lots of wasted space and Relay uses a nice split view that puts the subreddit/front page on the left third of the screen and comments/post on the right side. Baconreader is the other app with tablet UI but it's basically Relay without the material design and a lot less features.
Native Clipboard - Extremely similar to LG's clipboard manager. Allows you to have multiple items in your clipboard and you can pin some of them so they persist through reboots and you can just tap to insert it. Really useful for Lenny faces ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Custom Navigation Bar - Allows you to tweak the navigation bar. You can change the layout and what buttons are on the bar and you can change the icons of the buttons. Really nice on the Pixel C because you can add rewind/play/pause/forward/mute/volume and screen off buttons. It also has Tasker integration so with a bit of work and the Pixel C keyboard you can basically recreate the MacBook Pro 2016/17 Touch Bar and have buttons change depending on what's happening or what app is open or whatever time of day.
Solid Explorer - Another paid app. Has a two week free trial. Easily the best Android file manager out right now and it has awesome cloud storage support. Really good looking material design and it can also serve as an FTP host if you want to access your files from another PC via FTP.

I'm finding Weather Timeline to be amazingly accurate, and I've put that down to it's use of forecast.io for data. I'd never come across forecast.io before.. everything I'd used previously has AccuWeather as the feed.
So, what I'm not sure about is whether this is entirely down to forecast.io, or just this clever app's interpretation of that data?
Nova Launcher Prime with persistent Google Search bar.
The weather widget is from Weather Timeline (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather).
Icon pack is Alos (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hd.plane)

Since the show's been looking at weather apps, this is a favorite of mine... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
That's Weather Timeline.

This is basically what I do now, only using my phone as the second source (with Weather Timeline set to use forecast.io).
You could also load up the Pebble app "Rain" around stormy weather.
>Will marshmellow put the current temp in the notification bar?
No, but plenty of apps will. I suggest Weather Timeline.
>How can I have it go silent at night and turn the volume back up in the morning?
The Moto app has something for this, go check it out. But as always, Tasker will also do that and so, so much more.
>Serious I've been out of the game for so long. What did I miss?
Material design, Google Now being actually good, NFC payments changing completely, and a shit ton of battery/stability/security improvements.

Ja koristim Weather Timeline lep dizajn i ima sve od podataka koji mi trebaju
Weather is Weather Timeline
Calendar is a default Zooper widget option, and the clock is from the Zooper by Beard pack
Here's my home screen. Nova Launcher (prime), and that's about it. I keep it simple and functional. http://imgur.com/1SI6T0u
Edit: Weather widget is Weather Timeline (awesome) if anyone cares. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
Went for a material look
Made using Nova Launcher, Weather Timeline, and CandyCons icon pack.
Weather widget is from Weather Timeline. Great app and loads of good looking widgets and options.

I'm pretty sure that's the stock LG one. I have no idea what it's named though. I much prefer Weather Timeline. The widgets are beautiful!
The app is Weather Timeline, its a buck in the Play Store. The widget is WT Card 4 x 2.
I guess I could just use the notification shortcut. I'm still used to iOS.

Hey, I had some similar problems/needs. But no worry there are solutions for all your mentioned stuff ;)
I would highly recommend to root you device, this will solve all your problems easily. I read you had some problem with rooting. Use the [Nexus Root Tookit](www.wugfresh.com/nrt/). It has a step by step tutorial which is just awesome and also checks your progress. It's impossible to do something wrong, it covers everything you need within the app and all steps.
Use the System UI Tuner to change the battery indicator if you are not rooted. If you are rooted I can highly recommend Flat Style Bar Indicators, which is a Xposed module, which lets you customize the status bar completely as you like it. I set my status bar, the icons and the alignment just as on my previously used iPhone on iOS 9 :p
I'm happy with the clock app, works exactly how I need it and how I think a clock app should work. For weather and also as widget (which also opens the clock app) I use Weather Timeline. It's a very nice looking and customizable app and also the widget it awesome, give it a try ;)
I use and can recommend Event Flow Calendar Widget, which has a very highly customizable widget. As a calendar I use DigiCal Calendar, which also has some cool widgets, which you can check, too.
I'm not really sure what you mean with your 4. point. I got completely rid of the soft buttons, because they annoy me and also steal screen space and shift the keyboard up. Therefore I used GravityBox and I use all kind of gestures to control my device with GMD GestureControl. I also changed the stock DPI of the device to a lower value to shrink the content of the screen. I used a value where I can read everything perfectly and have all tablet feature on my phone (since it doesn't make any sense to have a bigger phone when the content is just scaled bigger instead of having more content on the screen). You can easily change the system DPI and also per app with App Settings.
I personally really love this device, it offers everything I really need and with root you can get even more features. I don't think that there's any phone which is better than this one at them moment, so any other phone would have some compromises.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)
Weather Timeline - Forecast

Costs a couple of tokens, but nothing you should be able to get off Google Rewards in short order.
Maybe I'll check it out, it's gunna be a hard sell from Weather Timeline and all those widgets though..
It's an app called Weather Timeline. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather
I prefer Weather Timeline's widgets.

Weather Timeline has upwards of a dozen widgets to choose from, all highly customizable. Here's mine. They have about a dozen iconsets to choose from, and you can set the opacity, colors, etc...
This is my first submission: it was made with Themer and a random image of a Mountain through some effects of Pixlr. The weather widget used is Weather Timeline, while the news one is Feedly.
Here's the link to the whole theme.

Weather Timeline is the widget and the app is layered with beautiful material design.
The folders are actually my app draw on the right and Google now on the left, I use Candy Cons for Icons!

If you decide to check out this app, do yourself a favor & try out one of the other apps by the same dev (Sam Ruston), Weather Timeline - Forecast.
The general consensus by Android enthusiasts tends to go something like, "I don't normally praise weather apps, but this one... [insert positive review]" & it often gets mentioned on lists of recommended apps over on /r/Android & /r/androidapps. Fantastic functionality as well as tons of customization options if that's your kind of thing.
Part of the Weather Timeline widget.
It's a widget (WT Week?) that comes with Weather Timeline (which is awesome)
I turned off the option to Change color with weather and set opacity to zero. I'm using an icon set it comes with called WT Material.

The widget that comes with Weather timeline
I have both Weather Timeline and Amber Weather.
The bold temperature on the notification bar is Weather Timeline and the unbolded one is Amber Weather.
The yellow widget is Weather Timeline and the white widget is Amber Weather. Of course, it's all a bit customizable.
I think its this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather

As Brandon said is Weather Timeline

I don't want a Hound invite, but my top three apps would be Weather Timeline, Flynx and Type Machine.
Weather Timeline is honestly the best weather app on Android, Flynx is basically Link Bubble but without all the bugs and lag, and Type Machine is one of those apps that hide in the background and make you so happy to have it when you need it. It's a keyboard logger (take off you foil hats, it doesn't have an Internet permission) that saves you from having to retype a huge email, comment or Reddit post when an app crashes.
Additionally, there's an app called AdGuard, which is the best ad blocker you can have without root, and does so with minimal battery impact.

Absolute gorgeous app. It has plenty of information and some really neat features.
Weather Timeline is my favourite weather app.
WidgetLocker is great if you want a customisable lockscreen.
Relay For Reddit (Pro) for a decent reddit app
Weather Timeline is my favourite one! It's just a weather app but it presents everything in a ridiculously pretty and user friendly way. It also has a nice selection of data sources! (including my favourite, forecast.io)
http://imgur.com/a/sfxjX Pretty simple, I like the stock Android feel

Patiently waiting for the cm12 version of VEU theme :/
If you have the app Weather Timeline - Forecast (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samruston.weather) installed, the widget will become available.
For weather - Weather Timeline
Arcus is great. Check out Weather Timeline too.
My favorite app is Weather Timeline, and it shows how many inches of rain or snow you'll get.
App is "Weather Timeline" on Android.

I like the widgets built into Weather Timeline. They are sleek, and I like that they use Forecast.io for their predictions.
