Weather widget with tap to refresh - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a weather widget that works great, however it has an unnecessary clock included in the widget, with no alternative that doesn't include the clock. Importantly, the stock weather widget has a refresh "button" on the bottom right of the widget, which allows the temperature to be updated without having to open the AccuWeather app (or the default stock rendition of it).
I have tried other weather widgets, such as Beautiful Widgets, HD Widgets, and AccuWeather App. However, none have the ability to refresh without opening the app. I saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601134, but the apps mentioned have issues according to the latest reviews, perhaps because they are no longer being developed
Can someone suggest a weather widget that:
Allows refreshing of the temperature/weather by tapping somewhere on the widget
Takes no more than a 2x1 area
And is preferably free

Looking for an agenda/calendar widget

I'm looking for a agenda widget that's specifically 2x1 in size, but support transparency. I like the the stock agenda widget where it only display today's events and tapping open calender app, but it doesn't do transparency. The ones I found on market (glass widget, agenda) that does support transparency are all 4x1, and display the date in big letters which I don't need.
Any recommendations?
Agenda widget pro is good, shows several calendars in one widget, even showz my touchdown / exchange appointments.
Its free on getjar appstore for the moment

Best weather widget without clock

Looking for suggestions. Just something nice that actually loads at bootup.
Beautiful Widgets has a stand-alone weather widget, as does Weather and Toggle Widgets (both paid apps, both should be compatible)

[Q] Looking for a picture weather widget.

Is there a simplistic weather widget that only shows the weather through pictures/animations without telling any information. I want it to go along with my minimalistic weather widget, preferably as simple as minimalistic widgets.

What weather widget is this?

Hello guys,
I'm looking for this Weather Widget, an online friend of mine has a LG Maximo 2x with this widget (see attachment, since I can't publish outside link because I'm a recent user)
This is the animation that opens when she tap the widget on me phone desktop.
She told me this is Accuweather version, but I can't find it . (maybe it isn't accuweather, I only know what she told me).
This app also allows sharing with social networks.
I would really like to find it. Please help me.
:fingers-crossed:
It is accuweather, since it displays RealFeel temperature, which is a trademark of accuweather. However, it is different than the accuweather widget we have for touchwiz. It is probably specific to whatever framework the LG phones use.
Nifty little widget there. Me likie.

This is the Accuweather widget, as stated above, but there is a difference between this widget and the widget that comes pre-installed on your S2. The pre-installed widget takes up half the screen and does virtually nothing if you press it. The widget in your picture is available after you download the "Accuweather for Android" app from Google Play.
After you have installed that app, add the plain Accuweather widget to whatever screen you want (!!!not the Accuweather.COM widget!!!) and you should have a very similar, if not identical, widget to what your friend has.
Keep in mind, though, that the picture you posted will only show up after you press the widget for more details. The actual widget is very small and has no animation.
I have AccuWeather for Android installed and that is definitely NOT the widget from it.
It has two, and neither one is the one in that screenshot. Its got the original dark grey 4x1 widget and a new, rather ugly and seriously battery killing, 4x2 with the weather and a clock.
As said, its probably a custom version done for LG just like Samsung has their own.
Not sure what you expect the stock TW AccuWeather widget to do when you touch it. It opens up the Samsung AccuWeather app just fine for me, just like the one from the Play Store opens its respective app.

The only one Accuweather for Android that appears on the GooglePlay is that Accuweather.com (wich is ugly, its the black one with no animation at all).
I really can't find that Accueweather for Android.
The imagem attached is the Accuweather for Android.
Hmm
Well I have the GoWeather Ex widget that is pretty similar to that one, maybe you should try that one out buddy.

Any dynamic weather widget like accuweather but for weather underground?

Does anyone know of any dynamically-changing weather widgets like samsung's accuweather widget (or the normal accuweather widget for that matter), but for weather underground? To clarify, I'm looking for a widget who's background changes depending on the weather. A refresh button wouldn't be half bad either.
