When clicking on the temperature/weather circle on the stock circles widget it brings up a beautiful full screen weather report. I was wondering if this is accessible when not using the circles widget. I know it says it's powered by accuweather, but when I downloaded the standalone accuweather app, it didn't look nearly half as good. I love the look of the weather and how the forecast is presented and just wanna know if it's possible to access that when not using the circles widget, or is that just built into the app? I would like to be able to access it through another widget I use that allows you to open weather (and other features) with the app of your choosing.

If this is not possible, part 2 of the question: is there a similar animated weather app that has the same sort of style to it available on the app store? I've looked around but none seem to have the same style to them.

Re: Circles widget weather?

For anybody else that may be interested, I found an app somewhat similar to the circles weather app that gives the temperature, forecast, and a few other details with a clean interface and animated background. It's called Be Weather Pro. It cost $1.99 but I like it. The animation is a bit fast for my taste and it doesn't appear that you can change the speed, but it looks pretty sweet of you were looking for a nice looking weather app somewhat similar to the Circles Widget Weather screen.

+1 for Be Weather Pro. I've been using it since its beta. I also like the screen that comes up when tapping the Circles widget weather, but the widget itself seems redundant to me. I already have a clock and a battery meter in the status bar and see no need to repeat them on my home screen.

Another +1 for BeWeather. I used to use their excellent Blackberry weather app and was happy to buy their Android app when I moved over a few years ago. NIce app, clean interface and very configurable. Glad you found something that works well for you!

This thread is awesome, I just downloaded Apex Launcher & BeWeather great apps, I had been using Go EX Launcher and Beautiful Widgets.. Digging these new apps!!
Nice! I'm still loving both! Apex has all the features I wanted and is really snappy on the M. And yeah Be Weather is really really nice. Glad you tried it!

Quick Question though I hate to admit it but my vision isn't what it used to be is there a way to turn off the IMAGE VERIFICATION I tried using the Speaker but man that's worse then trying to view the letters? HELP!

Is that within the BeWeather app or using Apex? Not familiar with it but I can look into the issue for ya.

Ah I should have been more clear the Image Verification issue is here on the forum, unless I am missing something? I am on my Home PC and everytime I want to post a reply I have to verify the image..

Thanks for your help

Ah never had that issue. I'm usually posting from the app. I'll check into it when I get home.
