Best apps for tracking the weather

These apps earn points for comprehensiveness, efficiency, and fun.

The Weather Channel is undoubtedly the “best comprehensive weather app on the market,” at least in its iPhone version (the Android version is balky). Rival Accu­Weather, by contrast, “has put out a rather bland app,” distinguished mostly by the fact that its forecasts extend out 14 days.

Weather+ is “a model of efficiency.” It displays all the basic weather information you’d want on a single screen. (iPhone only)
