I’ve used Pixel Weather for 2 years — here’s why I’m ditching it for Gradient Weather

Ever since it debuted on the Pixel 9 series in 2024, Google’s Pixel Weather app has been my go-to weather application. I love its simplistic and Pixel-y UI, the customizable home screen, the excellent pollen tracker, and more. For what I want in a weather app, Pixel Weather checks just about every box.

Recently, though, I’ve been using another app instead. I stumbled across Gradient Weather while scrolling through Threads a little over a week ago, and almost immediately after downloading it, I knew I had found something special.
