Hey, dude. Those apps on your iPhone are looking a little stale. The best apps we found this week should freshen up your device a little bit.

At this point, weather apps are almost a rite of passage for iOS developers. It seems that new ones pop up with alarming regularity in my inbox, offering one unique feature or another. I personally still quite enjoy Check the Weather for a comprehensive overview of all kinds of weather information in one app....
Jake Marsh is the designer of the stunning, minimalist iOS weather app, Conditions, which costs just $0.99 on the App Store. But because some people are so lame that they would rather go through the trouble of pirating a good app that they like than give the developer a buck for it, Jake decided to program a special ‘Pirate Mode’ into Conditions, in which users who pirate the app always get a weather report of 666 degrees in which fire and brimstone literally hails down upon them....
The iPhone comes with a bunch of apps you never use. Some of them are poorly implemented. Others are lacking important features. Fortunately, there's a whole world of developers offering some very viable third-party alternatives. Unfortunately you can't delete the apps your iPhone comes with, but here are some alternatives that will free you from their boring grips....
News. Weather. Mr. T-themed everything. There's a slight chance those are your priorities in life, so we're speaking to you with this round of iPhone apps of the week....
The Weather Channel's app has had you covered on the basics of your local forecast for eons. It ain't pretty, but if you want to know what the chance of precipitation will be 3AM, it'll give you a number. Haze takes that raw data and packages it into something simple and beautiful....
Weather apps are a dime a dozen these days — who needs another one, right? Well, if you enjoy slick design and pretty animations to go along with your weather forecasts, Haze might be the weather app for you. Haze offers simple weather reports in a clean and attractive interface that relies on gestures to control — something we don't see too often in weather apps. Its use of animated backgrounds to tell you the forecast may not be the most efficient method of reporting the weather — and it will...
Ever since smartphones have been around, there have been weather apps to go along with them. In fact, no matter how small of a platform or how few apps there available to it, there's a good chance that you can find a weather app for it. Though some may argue that you don't need anything beyond what's available on your phone out of the box, such as iOS's Weather and Android's Google Now (or the age old argument of "look out the window"), weather apps remain popular and there seems to be a new one...
It’s a little ironic that adrenalin-fuelled, sometimes dangerous extreme sports like windsurfing, kiteboarding and skiing also have a very pedestrian angle to them: it’s hard to do them when the weather isn’t quite right. There have been apps developed to try to meet that challenge by tapping into weather data providers, but sometimes these don’t actually give a personal feel of how the wind or…
Back in Oct. 2011, two developers, Adam Grossman and Jack Turner, put a video on Kickstarter with an ambitious goal: help them bring their magical-looking short-term weather prediction app to the public. The app is called Dark Sky [iTunes link], and it's a weather app with a very cool twist: It just offers short-term, hyperlocal forecasts. Using the app, you can find out if it will rain or snow in the next 15 minutes in your given location.
There are few things more annoying than bringing an umbrella with you when you don't need it. Never make that mistake again—Nooly will give you accurate, super-local forecasts for your exact neighborhood....

At Mashable we've tested a lot of them out, but we're still always hearing about new ones. There are a ton of fitness and health apps to chose from, but you might be pleasantly surprised to know they're not all about weight loss.
The iPhone, land of endless choice. First, you’ll want to grab Twitter, Kindle, Facebook, Find My iPhone, Shazam (it's still a magical thing), and Apple’s Remote app for controlling iTunes remotely. But then you get to the hard questions. Which to-do app to get? Which map alternative is worth downloading over Apple’s default? Is there a weather app that offers the perfect balance of hourly updates and animated doppler imagery? What are the best games to get to avoid the family during the inevitable...
As we near the end of 2012, Cult of Mac has taken a look back at some of the best iOS apps that have hit the App Store over the last 12 months. There have been some terrific releases this year, and we could have named a hundred that are well worth your hard-earned cash.

Savvy Apps is well known for taking Apple’s stock apps and improving them – the company has enjoyed success with Agenda (a powerful calendar app) and Buzz (a slick replacement for Apple’s contacts app). Today, the company launches a new iPhone app — Today Weather — with (you guessed it) a focus on telling you everything about what the day ahead holds for you in terms of wind, rain, sunlight or snow....

We’ve followed The Weather Channel through its transition into the digital era. It started with a beautiful iPad app, and then the company revamped its iPhone app and website to match the new look and feel. And boy were there features! Social elements, notifications when it will rain, and personalized weather were all in the forecast. And today, the iPad app that started it all has surpassed 10 million downloads.
