Need a weather app which doesn't use too much battery up

Want to find a good weather app which will have the temperature on notification tray and would be quite detailed when I entered the app. But most importantly an app that won't make the battery suffer too much

I would suggest ezWeather, very nice and no battery drain for me.

just don't update too shortly, weather conditions doesn't change a lot in 3 hours, I'm using 24hrs update and never catch by rain w/out umbrella

Arcus is pretty good. No noticeable battery drain and quite accurate.

Haven't noticed much of a battery drain using Accuweather. Nice app both design and function wise. Widgets aren't the greatest though. I agree with what was said above that the update interval is most likely to impact battery life

I second this. I use 1weather all the time (update set at every 6 hours) and I have no discernible battery drain.

I have been using Beautiful Widgets since my days of the evo3d and have had no problems with battery drain.

Zooper

Zooper widget is pretty good. It has the option to only check weather when the screen is turned on. No battery use when the phone is asleep.

I've actually given up on weather apps and widgets and just go here http://m.wund.com/ when I need to know whats up.

good day.

Weatherbug Elite works great for me. I have it set to update every 30 minutes and to use network location not gps. I never even see it in the usage stats for my battery.

It's really personal preference and more of a "try them all and see what you like best". Some are more complete and have full weather stats and radar (for the weather junkie in us) and some are more minimal and only include current conditions and a forecast. Some have nice looking widgets and some have crap for widgets.

I've tried them all, paid for them all because I like to support the devs, and came to my own conclusions: weatherbug elite is about as good as it gets for a complete weather app, but the widgets aren't pretty at all. Ezweather is gorgeous but not complete. Yahoo is nice but full of advertising crapware. 1weather is sharp as is arcus. Acuweather is OK. Palmary is OK. Weather is OK. Eyeinsky is OK but not updated. There are many more. Try them all and see which one you like

None of these had ever concerned me with battery. Ever

WZ Weather is very nice. No drain. Looks good. Nice widgets. I've also been using yahoo, but it's always on the battery list. Uses 7 %. WZ doesn't even use 1 %.

Edit: EZ Weather of course.

Weatherbug or weatherbug elite

Another plus for 1Weather....

No excessive battery drain with the proper settings....

Auto Refresh - Off
Under Launch Behavior: Refresh Automatically - Check
Edit My Locations: Follow My Location - Off
Edit My Location: Set a static location (I use home)

It only updates when i open the app..... also doesn't constantly ping my location...

I recommend BeWeather Pro

Weatherbug Elite is by far the most comprehensive weather app I've found. Notification bar status updates, severe weather alerts, radar maps, live cameras, pollen count, etc.. Only uses as much battery as you tell it to.
