Hello! I’m looking for a foss weather app for android, so I went ahead to f-droid and tried a bunch of them, but didn’t find any that fully satisfies me: I want to be able to see the hourly forecast of any day of the week, not just the “global” forecast, and I want the weather service used not to require a credit card (openweathermap.org for example requires the credit card to get an API key). Geometric Weather is the one that I’m currently using, with open-meteo as provider, but sadly it displays hourly forecasts only for the current day, but not for other days.
Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

Geometric Weather has been continued by different devs, and that version is called Breezy Weather.
You can also find it in the Izzy f-droid repo.

Uh, that’s nice. Thanks!

Breezy is really a nice app, too bad on my phone the background updates just don’t work (yes they used to work on GeometricWeather)

Did you set the right power saving settings on your phone’s settings?
- SirMino ( @SirMino@feddit.it ) 1•10 months ago
Yes battery optimization is disabled for the app, and no energy saver mode is on

Not FOSS, but did you know you can get your weather forecasts straight from the source? Weather.gov gives not only a standard 7 day forecast but also provides all sorts of weather data and lots of the charts on the site is designed to be customized then bookmarked even if your browser has cookies disabled!

wX gets its data from weather.gov and is open source. It has a lot of forecast products and can even notify you of watches and warnings.

wX is actually terrifying in its depth.

This is the right choice. Everything else is pretty much just a different frontend for the same data.

I like rain: https://github.com/DarkMooNight/Rain

“Rain” is also available at Izzy’s: https://android.izzysoft.de/repo/apk/com.yoshi.rain

Another vote from me for Rain. Much nicer to look at than the BBC Weather App.

+1 for Breezy weather

Breezy Weather is the obvious option here, as many others have said.
Geometric Weather is outdated and Breezy Weather is the updated fork of it. So it’s an improved version.

Not FOSS, but free and ad-free, from a small Japanese developer: Weawow. The only thing that requires you to make a small donation is to unlock a couple of weather providers, but you have a big selection without it.

Did not notice that a single donation is enough to unlock all weather providers. Thank you! Btw, which provider works best for you?
- anguo ( @anguo@lemmy.ca ) 1•10 months ago
I think it really depends on your location. I use AccuWeather, but I’m not yet convinced of its accuracy.

omWeather, on fdroid

Suntimes also has weather!

Anyone know of any good options for iOS?

Putting it here as its own child comment…
wX (Gitlab link) is my new “standard” weather app. It’s a bit crusty and dense in data, but man the density is a feature, not a bug in my opinion.

I’m using Flux, but it hasn’t been updated for over a year. And I don’t think it’s open source
