Attractive widget design 1x1
Even if 1Weather still takes inspiration from HTC widget designs, 1Weather's are some the best available. There are 7 widgets available.

Banner advertisements
1Weather features annoying banner advertisements for users that have not paid the $1.99 upgrade. Another annoyance is that the advertisements are right next to the menu bar meaning your likely to open the advertisement at least once.

Con
Focused more on features than actual weather
A lot of the developers time for The Weather Channel app has not gone toward better weather forecasts but many unnecessary features like weather achievements and the annoying mPOINTS reward system.
See More
Top
Pro
Bright and quick user interface
The overall theme of The Weather Channel app is bright with a consistent amount of Weather Channel blue. Fortunately the app also performs well. The app shares a similar design to the Google Play Store with scrolling tabs for "radar," "now," "videos," and "forecast." The scrolling tabs are very fluid and each tab is quick to load.
See More
Top
Con
Unremovable advertisements
The Weather Channel app includes banner advertisements like most weather applications but unlike other applications that let you pay a dollar or two to remove them, The Weather Channel forces them on you. Even worse is that they are positioned conveniently at the bottom of the application right where you are likely to accidentally open them.
See More
Top
Pro
Solid offering of widgets
The Weather Channel widgets are attractive and functional. The widgets are available in 1x1, 2x2, and 4x1 sizes and even follow their own application's design language instead of following HTC like many others.

Pro
Solid radar maps
The Weather Channel app's maps provide a descent amount of radar options but the overall design is very confusing and the in app tutorial hint is useless.
See More
Top
Pro
Video forecasts
The Weather Channel with its large TV presence offers an impressive amount of weather forecasts videos in the app. Although many of the videos in the app such as "Lady and the Shark!" have absolutely nothing to do with weather.

Pro
Travel based information
The Weather Channel application allows you to input a starting point and destination on a radar map and then predict if you will encounter any type of storms along the route. The feature needs work and doesn't always work properly but the idea is promising if improved.

Cluttered UI
There's very little finesse present in the layout of the data, everything is just stuffed into unsightly boxes as tightly as possible. This minimizes scrolling but makes it difficult to parse at a glance.

Too focused on design instead of data for some people
Yahoo Weather displays less information at a glance and less information as a whole than other apps. Radar options and precipitation options are particularly scarce. Although for some people a minimalistic design is worth it.

Design that doesn't overwhelm
One of the advantages of Yahoo Weather is that the design is not so loaded with information when you open it that it is overwhelming. If your just interested in if it is going to rain today Yahoo will provide you that at a glance but it still provides all the details when you scroll down.

Decent static map options: heat, wind, and US radar
Each of the maps are quick to load and very fluid to scroll and zoom with. But the radar map options are few compared to other weather applications and they are not live.

Uses beautiful photos from Flickr for a fresh look all the time
Yahoo Weather uses photos of locations in weather conditions from actual Flickr users. This inclusion makes Yahoo Weather as great to look at as it is to use. If you want more information about the photo the author's Flickr name is in the bottom right corner.

Effortless to switch locations

No nonsense
The interface is very utilitarian, presenting data and little else. No glitzy animations, flashy transitions or so on.

Interface is bricklike
A side effect of being so data oriented means there are basically no circles to be found outside the radar panes and imaging.

US/Canada and outlying Islands only
Unfortunately, the app relies on data supplied by NOAA and the NWS, and as such, doesn't service anywhere not serviced by either.

Detailed hourly and daily weather charts
Weather Underground is packed with useful information and its charts are some of the best. Access to temperature, precipitation, and wind changes all on one chart make it easy to make predictions on when the storm will hit or the best times to be outside.

Buggy

Pro
Partially crowd sourced data
One of Weather Underground's biggest differentiating factors is the option to contribute to the weather forecast. Weather Underground offers both "sky reports" and "hazard reports" as methods for crowd reporting. Sky report allows users to report on the accuracy on the current weather forecast in their current location with either a check for correct or x for incorrect. This addition can help improve the accuracy of the weather forecasts with real eyes in the skys to check their accuracy. Hazard report allows users to report flooding, power outages, road debris, high surf, slippery roads, white out, and roads unplowed to warn other users in the area.

Con
No push notifications for weather alerts
Weather Underground offers absolutely no push notifications; that means that even if there is a tornado in your area Weather Underground will not alert you until you open the app. Weather Underground only offers optional ongoing status bar notification for temperature and conditions.

Can register your own weather stations to work with it

Con
Somewhat overwhelming design
Weather Underground pushes an overwhelming amount of information at the user at first glance. Sometimes it is difficult to find exactly what you want on the go. Other applications such as Yahoo Weather are much easier to read. But the advantage to this is the wealth of raw information available.
See More
Top
Pro
Banner advertisements are minimal
Like most other weather applications, Weather Underground includes banner advertisements but in this application they don't feel as intrusive. Weather Underground included them at the top of the screen, out of the way of accidental touches, and they are smaller than the normal banner advertisement. If you decide to remove the advertisements, it is $1.99 a year.

Variety of map options
Weather Underground offers a very large selection of map options including: radar, temperature, precipitation, crowd reports, IR sat., wind, US fronts, visible sat., regional temp, severe weather, hurricane, active fires, fire risk, and storm tracks. Weather Underground also provides the weather station name and location if you touch each balloon of information on the map. The amount of options can be overwhelming but it is a useful tool if your interested in using it.
