People buy Android devices because Android OS provides several customization options. Unlike Windows and iOS devices, you can change drawer style, icons, animations in Android OS by installing a launcher app. Although you can configure the Windows phone launcher to show email notifications and climate details on the home screen, you can’t customize the tile that displays the details. Android OS offers a unique and important feature called “widget”. People add widgets to the empty areas on the home screen of their device. A widget may display new emails, time, weather, etc. It can also show an animation or an image without draining the battery juice.
Last week, I had shared the list of the best Android clock widgets. Today, I have covered the best Android weather widget apps. If you are searching for a standalone weather widget for your Android device, download one of the following applications.
