Default Android users, what weather app do you use?

On my iphone I had wather pro, but I switched to android and now have no weather app.

What I want is 1 that will allow you to have multiple locations and about 7 days in advance, and preferably free. I use a mac so cannot sync the phone to computer thanks to it being an SE phone.

I know weatherpro is available on android but I'm not entering card details on my phone.

I've just got an Android phone, it would appear to have weather installed, but comes up with "Not available" each time I try.
Galaxy Ace........yes, I know there are better, but for £7.99 a month, it's not bad

there is one called Accuweather I think which is free and pretty good but not sure it is what you want.

Weather Channel app is pretty good, if sometimes inaccurate

HTC phones have a built in weather app which is good but I also use weatherbug as well, both give multiple locations.

Kinda pointless as they will struggle to predict tomorrows weather let alone in 7 days time ...

Try pressing menu, go to accounts and sync and then click on weather. Should be able to check a box that says update on open and also choose sync time. That's on an HTC though. Galaxy should have something similar.

I use AIX Weather Widget which I think is tidy
