Weather Apps Ranked: 28 Free Android Picks Compared
Every listed app is free and Android-only, with an average rating of 4.38. These are the weather tools worth sorting first.
All 28 weather listings are free Android apps. That is the most useful fact in this dataset: you can compare forecasts, radar maps, air-quality data, and specialist tools without sorting through paid tiers. The average rating is 4.38, but the list is not a clean weather-only field. A skin scanner and a home-security app appear among the 28 listings, so category labels still need human judgment.
There is no paid-versus-free rating comparison here because the dataset contains 0 paid apps. There is no iOS-versus-Android comparison either: all 28 listings are Android-only. The practical move is simple—start with the genuinely weather-focused apps below, then check whether an iOS version exists before switching platforms.

Every Listing Is Free, but the Category Needs Filtering
The chart above makes the pricing story unusually clear: 28 free apps and no paid apps. “Free,” however, only tells you the download price. The supplied listings do not state whether any app contains advertising or in-app purchases, so do not treat the dataset as proof that every feature is free.
The developer list is fragmented rather than dominated by one major weather brand. The five names recorded most prominently are 1 Bit, Meteored, Accurate Weather Forecast & Weather Radar Map, Coolexp, and Watermark Remover & Slow motion & SlowMo. That last name is a warning sign: it does not match the weather niche. Use the developer field as a discovery clue, not a quality guarantee.
For daily forecasting, radar, and specialist outdoor planning, the strongest cluster is much narrower. The picks below cover those jobs without padding the guide with unrelated apps.
Daily Forecasts and Radar Maps
Start with the apps that answer ordinary questions quickly: What is the temperature now? Will rain arrive this afternoon? How is the storm moving? These tools are more useful for commuting and travel than a specialist astronomy forecast, but their descriptions also make broad accuracy claims that are not independently verified in the supplied data.
Daily Weather
Daily Weather covers more than temperature: sunrise and sunset, humidity, UV index, wind speed, air quality, and precipitation are all listed. That breadth gives it a stronger everyday dashboard than a bare forecast app. The description calls it precise and dependable, but supplies no test results or rating detail beyond its place in the ranked listings, so treat the feature list—not the accuracy claim—as the evidence. Best for Android users who want one screen for routine planning and environmental conditions.
Live Weather
Live Weather: Daily Forecast narrows the focus to current conditions, today’s outlook, the week ahead, and a detailed 24-hour view. Compared with Daily Weather, it gives hourly planning more emphasis but lists fewer extra indicators in the supplied description. That makes it easier to assess for commute or trip planning, though the wording repeats broad precision claims without publishing forecast-performance data. Best for readers who mainly need hourly and weekly timing.
Weather Radar
Weather Radar, Live Radar has the most concrete forecasting range in this group: minute-by-minute rain updates and outlooks reaching 45 days. Long-range forecasts are inherently less useful for exact decisions than near-term radar, so I would use its short-range rain view for action and treat the distant outlook as a rough planning signal. Compared with the two dashboard apps above, radar is the reason to install it. Best for Android users who care more about incoming rain than a broad weather summary.
