About this app

Meteo Weather Widget is a weather app showing the weather in a very detailed way at a glance on your home screen. While many weather apps are showing the weather forecast in a rather basic way, this app does that by visualizing the forecast in a so-called meteogram. Doing so shows you a much better overview of when exactly rain will fall, the sun will be shining, when it will become cloudy...


The main focus of the app consists in showing the meteogram on a small home screen widget (e.g. a 4X1 widget). Even while the widget does not occupy that much space on the home screen, it still manages showing the forecast in a clear way. Simply add a widget on your home screen, specify your location (or let the widget automatically determine your location) and the weather forecast appears on your home screen.


The meteogram shows the temperature and expected precipitation for the complete forecast period. Besides those weather elements, the wind speed, wind direction and air pressure can also be visualized on the meteogram. The user has all freedom to customize how the meteogram should look like.

About the weather forecast data

All thanks to MET.NO (The Norwegian Meteorological Institute) for offering the weather forecast data (notice that for the long-term forecast period, one of the best weather models - ECMWF - is used by MET.NO).

For locations in the United States, NOAA is offered as short term weather provider.

NOTE: other weather providers can be enabled via in-app subscription.

Ratings and reviews

The app is quite lightweight (low resource usage on data and memory) but still full featured, the weather info for the next days is presented in a concise and nice way. The used weather provider has really good forecasts, with quite a detailed regional grid. I had one issue specific to my phone brand... but the developer fixed it within a reasonable time after I reported it- so also 5* for the support.

Just installed this after aix stopped working. No way to get into settings once you've added the widget, you have to delete the widget and add a new one. Tapping on the app just gives a walkthrough and tapping on the widget does nothing.. -------------------- Update: I fixed it. You have to long press the app icon in your app drawer, then go to "app info", then go to "other permissions", then enable "Display pop-up windows while running in the background." Now I can access the settings by tapping on the widget. 5 stars

Can't believe I've used this app so long and neglected to review it. This is an essential app, its widget goes straight on the centre of my main home screen. It's so damn efficient at communicating what you need to know, and ultra customisable. The forecast is ALWAYS bang on accurate, to the point I know for certain if it's raining outside with needing to look. One of the best apps there is.
