What's the best weather app for Android?
I agree with this 100%. I used to use their app several years ago. I loved the super accuracy. Then they made drastic changes to the app that I hated. Uninstalled it and now use NativeAlpha to create a pseudo app for it.

Alternative way to access Reddit on phone (a tutorial)
Before I lay down the steps know that this tutorial is specifically for the "WebApps Sandboxed Browser" on Android. For another Android app you can get "Native Alpha" through the download options here: https://github.com/cylonid/NativeAlphaForAndroid. For this one you have to figure out the steps by yourself because I've not used if myself yet. The advantage of this one is that it has a more recent last update though WebApps Sandboxed Browser works fine in my experience. For iPhone user I'm sorry but you have to find a webapp alternative by yourself(if it exists). If you do please share it here.

Best Web App browser focused for privacy?
On android, theres a an app called Native Alpha which utilizes Android's built in Web View to isolate specific websites makes them into app-like feeling. Instead of in-browser tabs, it appears as separate individuals on the task manager. One can even set the website setting individually like javascript on/off, https, cookies, etc.

Pirate Weather
On android I use NativeAlpha for setting up Briefsky as app that opens in its own Android Webview app rather than a browser. It's almost like DarkSky minus the notifications.
