Which do you use? Monitor my stream is my site for flows, but I'm interested in a weather app if anyone has one that they recommend.

On my Android phone I use the free versions of River Level and Flow Alert. Simple apps to use but gives me all the info I need.

I use River Data for my IPhone and I use several weather apps because I find so many times, one or more is wrong. When in doubt, I go to My Radar which is my # 1 weather app.

My golfer friends recommend WeatherBug app. It's easy to use and gives you lightning strike data in real time (important to me cause I venture off the beaten path and have gotten caught in storms I couldn't see coming due to heavy foliage). Nice radar feature as well.

    I used to use weather1 app, but a guy retired and the reports are not as, is at all accurate anymore, not I use WeatherBug, simple and effective. I go to USGS for flows...

      The River Data app pulls all of its data from USGS gauges, but you can list favorites and it has each state listed and in each state, the gauges are listed alphabetically which is fast to navigate. If all you need is one or two stream gauges, no need for the app. But I believe it was free and I use it often as in daily when it rains. I look at flows on all current and past projects in any significant rain events or during droughts.

      Someone else mentioned lightening strike data and the My Radar app has that as well. Smoke, wind, lightening, you name it, it's there if you want it. Free app
