I’ll admit that for the last few years, I’ve been pretty lazy about testing new weather apps. I’ve almost exclusively used a combination of Samsung Weather or Pixel Weather alongside AccuWeather. Ready for something new, I decided to dive into the alternatives. What I was looking for was something that bridged the gap between the two services. That meant something easy to jump into, with a fair amount of customization, and a reputation for accuracy.

Ultimately, I found two apps that best fit what I was looking for, even though they took somewhat different approaches: Gradient Weather and Breezy Weather. While they both were a dream to use, neither was perfect, but one of these apps ended up winning me over a tad more than the other.
