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!

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Geometric Weather is outdated and Breezy Weather is the updated fork of it.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.

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

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

Suntimes also has weather!

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.

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.

Love wx, I use it along side storm shield to get a good idea of the storms rolling in.

Do you build it yourself?

[–] intelati@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I just use the play store

I'm using Forecastie and Weather Widget. Both use openweathermap but via its public API, so only need internet access and your location

[–] thecam@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Been using forcastie for years and I like it. However there are plenty good apps I am sure on F-Droid.

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.

Looks neat, I'm going to try this one.

[–] netchami@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

I‘ve been using Forcastie for quite some time now.

Prognoza (GitHub) is also a nice one.
