Can anyone recommend a weather app for iPhone that does what I want?

So I love the design and UX of the Met Office app, but it’s just not accurate enough.

I’ve tried and deleted some other apps including ones other people seem to love, and have now given up and gone back to the Met Office. But maybe someone here will have a suggestion.

What I’m looking for:
Clean, uncluttered interface
Will show me weather for my location in a widget that’s easy to glance at
Opening the widget ideally gives me the full week’s forecast for my current location and the other saved locations in my list
Failing that, it just takes one step to get to my saved locations

I don’t mind paying to remove adverts if I find something good. I do mind bad, cluttered design. So far I’ve tried Apple Weather, BBC Weather, Weather Radar, AccuWeather and Dark Sky. And with all of them I either disliked the design (for good reason!) or couldn’t get them to do what I wanted.

Any suggestions?!

I think it’s impossible to get an accurate one! I have four and they invariably show different forecasts. I’ve found AccuWeather the most responsive in terms of reflecting the actual weather.

Argh!! And thanks. Unfortunately that’s one of the ones I just couldn’t get on with 😭

I have several apps but the ones I check most are Accuweather and Yr (from the Norwegian weather service; not sure it’s the interface you want and I don’t use a widget from it but I do think the Norwegians seem to know about weather).
