Great app, just wish they had a radar.

Also for my American brethren that also use Freedom units, you might have to set speed, temperature, volume, pressure measurements to something our smooth brains can understand:

It's the best weather app for Android. Beautiful design and great optimization.

Best weather app I've used. FOSS but unlike most FOSS weather apps, it doesn't FEEL like your typical FOSS alternative.

So it doesn't feel better than the typical bloated half working must pay now and "sacrifice your first born" app?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I think they mean it doesn't feel like it was designed in 1999

Does it have any widgets lines the cure day/time/weather or 5 day outlook.

I'm one of those people that would rather have a weather widget on my home screen than opening an app every time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yes it has tons of widget option with clock + weather being one option and weekly weather being another

Is this "breezy weather" in the google play store? It looks similar but that's an app with 100M users, doesn't sound Ned...

I installed mine from fdroid. Just searched on the play store and couldn't see the same one on there or even anything with the same name.

The icon is a yellow Pinwheel on a blue background.
