Here's the twist: You can pick what kind of personality you want the app to have, from Professional, which disables banter, to Overkill - expect some heavy profanity. No more dashing through the pouring rain just for it to let up as soon as you get inside.Ĭarrot Weather gives you the weather with a little personality. This is helpful if you are about to leave a building and want to wait for the rain to stop. This forecast shows you a detailed outlook for the next four hours, including when rain will start and stop and what the temperature will be at specific times. You can also subscribe to the ad-free version of the app for $1 a month ($9 a year if paid upfront) or the premium version of the app for $2 a month ($20 a year).ĪccuWeather offers users what it calls MinuteCast, which breaks down forecasts by the minute. You can download the free version of the AccuWeather app in the App Store and the Google Play store. AccuWeather might also share your information with other companies, like Amazon Publishing Services, Facebook and Microsoft Azure. I understand you have to differentiate the free and paid versions of the app, but withholding potentially lifesaving information like that behind a paywall feels gross.ĪccuWeather writes in its privacy policy that it may collect personal identifiable information, cookies and even information about other devices that your device is near. But AccuWeather also hides arguably essential information behind the paid version, such as insight into what you should do if you find yourself facing dangerous weather. The free version of the app offers a lot, and the paid version offers more, like expert analysis of weather events. There is also a section on the homepage dedicated to allergies, and the app displays severe weather alerts across the top of the homepage for easy access. The app also gives you standard weather information, like daily temperatures, weather conditions and future coasts. Most of the stories are related to the weather, the environment and wildlife, but you'll also see health- and lifestyle-related stories. You can watch videos of news stories from The Weather Channel in the app. You can subscribe to the ad-free version of the app for $2 a month ($10 a year if paid upfront) or you can subscribe to the Premium Pro version of the app for $5 a month ($30 a year).Ĭalling The Weather Channel app a weather app feels like a disservice. You can download The Weather Channel app for free in Apple's App Store and the Google Play store. But beware, the privacy policy does say The Weather Channel 'cannot delete data directly associated with your account without deleting your account.' You can also request to delete data related to your preferences. You won't run into these ads if you subscribe to the paid version of the app.Īccording to The Weather Channel's privacy policy, the app may collect, use and share your data. I ran into four ads when scrolling down the main page of the app, and then I ran into a whole sponsored content section near the bottom of the page. The downside? The free version of the app has a lot of ads, and they can be distracting. The app gives you standard weather information, like hourly temperatures, rain chances throughout the day, a live weather radar and any severe weather alerts in your area.
