1Weather is a comprehensive weather app with great visuals and powerful widgets


Android does not offer a built-in weather application, so users have to go to the Google Play store to get one. Luckily, there are plenty of good options out there, and today we present you one of them. 1Weather is a personal favorite of ours, a no-frills weather application that delivers relevant weather information in a clean and good looking interface. 1Weather is offered as a free application on the Play store, but if you want to remove the ads that appear on the bottom (not really that intrusive), you can choose to pay $1.99 for the ad-free version. 
The application offers you everything you'd expect from a weather app: you have the temperature, atmospheric pressure, chance of rain, and so on. Actually, there are six tabs that you can swipe between: one for the daily weather, another one for the forecast (you can pick between hourly, daily and extended one), a third showing you chance for rain, a fourth tab with precipitation data, a fifth with a full-on weather map showing you animations with the movements of the clouds, and finally a last one with the lunar cycles.
Along with that comprehensive package also come some excellent widgets, as well as a tool that shows you the weather in your notification dropdown, which is particularly neat.
If you are looking for a weather app, 1Weather is one of Android's finest, and we definitely recommend you to check it out. Given that it's free, it won't hurt, would it?

DigiCal for Android gets new-look widgets and calendar view options

We’ve already featured DigiCal before in our 12 best Android calendar apps roundup last year, but today, the app has been updated to introduce a sleek new look and more flexibility to its calendar widgets.

The update brings an overall cleaner design to all widget types and introduces some much needed pre-configured widget options for people that don’t have time to tinker and set up their own. As a bonus, it’ll also now show a live preview of how widgets will look before you settle on your theme.

Among the list of updates, there’s the option to set lock screen widgets so you can view your meetings without needing to unlock your device (provided you’re running Android 4.2 or newer) and a few other little tweaks for premium DigiCal
