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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Top
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.

Modern and minimalistic design
Yahoo Weather features beautiful photos from Flickr for every weather condition and dynamic animations on a continuous page of information. The UI is super easy to use and appealing to look at.

Con
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.

Pro
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.

Pro
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
Unlike other applications that force you to enter a menu to check on another location, in Yahoo Weather all you have to do is swipe left or right through your favorite locations.

Con
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.
