BigRedBuster Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 What weather app do you use? I have Weather Bug and AccuWeather. I have MyRadar for radar. Wondering if there is something better. Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I use Accuweather. I can’t prove this but it seems to have gotten much less reliable/accurate over the past couple years. It’s still good for current conditions but the forecast looking ahead has been very unreliable lately. It seems to have been much better in the past. Maybe it’s just the weather being more unpredictable Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 The most hardcore one that I'm aware of is RadarScope which I think you have to pay a few bucks for. It has every bell and whistle you can imagine if you love getting into the weeds on weather. Quote Link to comment

Maybe it’s just the weather being more unpredictable I was using accuweather but, they have gone crazy with adds popping up when using. Got very frustrating. So, I’ve been looking for something different. Currently using the weather bug.

I think RadarScope is better but you have to pay for it. You didn't make any mention of paid versus free so I figured I'd include it. Quote Link to comment

garn Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 There's really no difference between all of them. They all use whatever the "offical temperature" is from your nearest airport and all push out warnings and watches from the National Weather Service based on the location of your phone.

The weird thing is, I've seen some differences between Accuweather and Weather Bug. However, it's mostly in the projections. They must get projections from different sources. Quote Link to comment
