iOS? Is it just me, because I don’t see any iOS version…
edit: it’s just me
Why would I use this "Geometric Weather" on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?
Doesn't show as much information (e.g. dew point, daily forecast details).
Doesn't support multiple weather providers, AFAIK.
Doesn't look as nice, if that matters.
Both apps don't track. I would venture a guess and say that Breezy Weather has the warning, because it includes AccuWeather, which can be turned off and changed to OpenMeteo or others.
What is meant by "non-free network service" in this context? Geometric Weather doesn't charge for anything, nor does it even have in-app purchases.

Geometric Weather gets its weather data from AccuWeather and OpenWeatherMap, which are not open source weather APIs. In contrast, omWeather gets its weather data from Open-Meteo, which is open source.
Ah interesting, thank you for the clarification!
Thanks, I didn't hear about omWeather before, which is quite good after follow your recommandation.
Breezy Weather also supports OpenMeteo. Can be changed in the settings.
