I'm a HUGE fan of the weather, now that hurricane season is here, I will furiously keep my eyes to the sky. Are there any apps out there other than local weather apps to keep my eyes on tropics here or elsewhere?
edit: Sorry, here in Fl. or elsewhere.
There is a weather channel app I think, There's also the Beautiful Widgets, Weather Widgets..The List goes on.
But honestly, it's personal choice. I think those app and widgets give you Weather reports outside of your current country too.
Yeah, I know about those, I was thinking more along the lines of radar and tracking. I guess NOAA type stuff. Maybe too intricate for the average app programs.
NAVIGuide or something like that from the market

Weather Widgets allows you to set your weather to someplace other than you actually are. Just go into the settings.
Try Radar Now (think that's the name). Very basic app but it shows refreshed radar images extremely well.

I use radar now on a daily basis, I'm going to look into Naviguide next, Thanks.
Maybe a hurricane tracker app, I'm still searching. Reading as much as possible. Really want to learn to create things from scratch!
Thank you to all that have chimed in!!!
So I am looking for a good news widget. What are people using.
Right now I have the Genie news and weather widget but I am not so sure that I care for it.

I'm using BBC and it's pretty good you can customize the widget to show what feed you want..
I'm a proponent of Genie Widget. It actually is really nice for covering a wide range of news. Otherwise I used the stock Daily Briefing app set to AP News and a separate app from The Weather Channel.
Can we start a Widget Marathon for Xoom!!
I am not seeing much Widget listing anywhere!!
And any made for Tablets either, wish there is a Widget Tab for Tablet in Market!!
Why not we all start one here!!
All I can see and start one is this I used Daily!!
WeatherBug for Honeycomb
Rating maybe bad on Market of 3 Stars, Overall Great widget shows my weather!!
Interface for the Full App is brilliant and easy to read!!
Beautiful Widgets (Paid)
Rating 4.5 Stars on Market
Tons of Apps, my own comment not enough for Daily Usages, mainly just looks to beautify!!
[I will add more when I stumble on to more]
wizz Widgets is the best and free.
AppStack and Reader HD are both exactly what I was looking for, the widget for Reader HD lets you set a widget with a custom rss feed that looks like the cnn app's news widget. Win. AppStack is a flashy app organizer that is great for sorting my games.
This stock weather app stinks.
The most important thing to me is to see live radar and satellite, but with this stock app you have to navigate way too much, and then it is only the size of half the screen, (like looking at my iphone). which weather apps are you folks using, cause clearly this one stinks.
Yahoo weather or nice weather

I'm using Weatherbug Elite. It works well and has all the features you mentioned.
I got wearherbug elite when it was amazon app of the day a long time ago and haven't used anything since

thx, I will go have a look.
any other replies welcome
weather apps
weatherbug elite is good, but IMO, the most versatile weather app is eweather HD..it has widgets for everything (satellite and radar and they are customizable..ie you can layer alerts on them). It isn't the most user-friendly but it's widgets are worth the curve. PYKL3 and Radarscope are the best pure radar apps, but don't have widgets.
1weather has probably the best interface.

thanks, I will give eweather a look.
I am a long time user of radar scope, even convinced my entire police department to get it, but that was when I was with apple.
Now I am on android and it's $29.99 in the play store (I don't wanna pay them twice after all the parading I did for them)

I can understand that, but I just looked at the play store and it shows 9.99 for me (after logging out that is and on my note 3). I don't think I would pay 29.99, but I have it for my wife iphone and my android devices, so to me it's worth 10 on each device. Also take a look at PYKL3, it's 9.99 too, and has a lot of funtcionality but it isn't as polished as radarscope.
an email can't hurt
Hey, send radar scope an email tell them about some of the 'good press' you've given them. You might not even get a reply, but it can't hurt. I've noticed __ with some other companies __ that some of these newer and smaller companies care about their customers, and will do things to help
can't hurt
good luck

another option
Intellicast is good too and if you are into widgets you can try websnap (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.web2mine.wg01.license&hl=en). There is a free trial version to play with.
I use websnap to pull down pieces of pages from accuweather as widgets. The biggest image on this screen shot is websnap pulling from accuweathers website. The bottom graph ia from an app called weatherbomb. You can also use websnap to pull other parts of pages too, not just weather.
Mycast is exactly what you're looking for.

Just googled it and watched the vid, looks cool, thx.
Im trying to avoid buying anything until im sure of what I wanna do though, (don't want a whole bunch of paid apps not being used)
I'm another Yahoo Weather user. It looks beautiful. I'm usually more likely to just use Google Now, though, whether it be a widget on my homescreen or me just opening the search. It's pretty clean looking and easy!
I use 1weather for forecasts, alerts and widgets (which are awesome). For radar I use MyRadar...
Together both these apps met my needs!

Thx, Nice!
Lots of great alternatives, keep them coming, (someone should make this a sticky)
Will someone please recommend what is the best news reader that i can add rss feeds i get off the internet? news 360 is awesome but i couldn't add vpnarea rss feed. so many to choose from but i don't know whats the best. i want one that gets updates constantly and looks good. i don't like dead ware and ugly looks. it dont mind purchasing apps because i hate adds. i also prefer for the app to have lots of options customizable and a lot nice categories to choose different news feeds. thank to everyone that will respond.
