    I am sick of weather.com and all of it's loading issues and political agendas. What are you guys using to keep updated on the weather in your area?

    I use Weather Underground as well.

    Scoutlook Weather is another option.

    I like Scoutlook due to the hunting aspect, but overall Weather Underground is my favorite for weather.

    Since you're in Indiana, check out BAM Chase as well.

    My job is based around the weather & I use "my cast" for weather. Costs money but very accurate.

    I just use AccuWeather.com. It shows the radar, which is my biggest interest, as well as the basic wind/temp conditions.

    I use weather underground for my print outs of daily weather/winds and everything for reference when studying sighting/pictures of mature bucks.

    As for day to day weather reports and such I use two apps on my phone and that's Weather Channel and Weather Undergrounds there as well. Usually both don't differ much but I like the confirmation between the two and sometimes I find WC gets the temp right a little more so then WU but WU gets the wind usually projected better.

    I have an app on my smart phone called "Scout Look" it has an over head google maps view. It does weather, temp, pressure, moon phase, solar times, wind direction and weather for up to 72 hrs ahead. It also allows you to mark gps spots. Bloodtrails, trails, stand sites. It has a cone that shows your scent direction etc. Way too much to list and is the best hunting app I've ever seen and it's only $2 to buy and download for a lifetime.

    i like accuweather too. hourly weather/rain/wind are most important to me.

    Its funny that one would use a science-based website (weather.com) and then be upset about the science-based articles on it.

    Perhaps you should try Fox News Weather.

    I'm mostly concerned with the wind, direction and speed, and those two get it right the most. I work on the water so I need to know what the wind is doing and use those two year around. I use scoutlook for how the wind will blow on a certain spot. That scent cone thing they have is awesome. I use weather underground for its real time wind direction, it updates every few seconds. But they are often off on the wind speeds. I also use a local tv stations website for their weather, specifically the radar. They have a real good radar that loads fast.
    Between all of them I can come up with a pretty good guess for the days weather:lol:

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I looked at all of them and decided on the weather bug app. I really liked how everything was arraigned on it. Now we'll see if it's accurate which is the point of the thing in the first place.

    I use the weather underground it's not to bad,it's hard to find something with accurate wind directions with all these steep ridges around me.
