Free and Open Source
- No proprietary blobs/dependencies (versions 5.0.0-alpha and later)
- Releases generated by GitHub actions, guaranteeing it matches the source code
- Fully works with Open-Meteo (FOSS source)
-
Privacy-friendly
- No personal data collected by the app (link to app privacy policy)
- Multiple sources are available, with links to their privacy policies for transparency
- Current location is optional and not added by default
- If using current location, an IP location service can be used instead of GPS to send less accurate coordinates to weather source
- No trackers/automatic crash reporters
Note: If the link isn’t working for you or if you can’t find the app, update the default F-Droid repository in your F-Droid client.
Nice app. I'm currently using the yr app from the Norwegian weather services. It would be great if that API could be implemented.
I only have one choice for weather data as it stands.
From what I see, MET Norway is an option for weather sources, is that the right one?
It looks like it's excluded from the F-Droid build.
It only gives me the one option in the app. But MET Norway should be it...
For me it's when I add a new location, then I get to choose what sources to pull from
Yeah but there are not as much options there as the 'help me choose' GitHub link suggests. Open météo is the only option.
Will have to look into this later.
Very strange. I installed through the neo store a week or so ago and have a couple options
I'll try the neo store version later and see if it differs somehow. In the documentation there's some take about 'flavors' of the same app, which is a bit bizarre imho.
The version is 5.1.8_fdroid, which is the same one I also see in fdroid
In neo store it allowed me to install the Izzy version, which lets me select multiple sources. It's weird not to have that in every install, though
Definitely strange... Glad it worked out, though
