Pixel Weather is pretty great, but there's no shortage of useful alternatives.

Have Pixel Weather app FOMO? This is the best alternative

Weather apps are an often underappreciated part of our daily tech toolkit. Checking whether the sky is falling or the sun is beating down is as integral to my morning routine as a strong cup of coffee. Some weather apps provide better coverage for particular areas, while others excel at offering easily comprehensible information. These factors make picking the perfect weather app an acutely personal decision. With its new Pixel Weather app, Google hopes you’ll choose it (by picking up a Pixel 9), but as nifty as the app is, you’re spoiled for choice when selecting a Pixel Weather app alternative.

As detailed in our hands-on, Google’s new weather app is a surprisingly comprehensive solution. It offers smart summaries, displays detailed daily indicators, and boasts a precipitation map for major cities. If you own an Android 14 device or an older Pixel, you can install the APK and give it a go. However, there are so many comprehensive alternatives out there that I struggled to decide which app fits the bill.
