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.
Thanks for this, switched from Weather Underground
I’ve been very impressed with Weawow
Couldn’t find in FDroid or using GDroid, had to download from website.
Didn’t matter, location search is completely broken. Can’t find any location.
New York? Nope. LA? Nope. Berlin? Nope. None. 😕
Works fine for me
Yea, who knows - these things happen.
I’m just disappointed - looks promising.
Any idea why:
I can’t find it on the F-Droid app?
The Droid-ify app says it could not validate?
Edit:
Had to unselect then reselect the repository to update F-Droid. Version 5.1.8_FDROID showed up and installed without an issue.
Droid-ify was trying to install 4.??-beta even after updating the Droid-ify app. Maybe that was the issue. Uninstalled Droid-ify.
You need to add the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo.
I’ve been using Breezy since it replaced Geometric Weather. It’s a fantastic app.
I sends notifications for weather warnings and has a lot of info depending on the meteorological data provider.
I use OSS Weather also as a complement.
Hrm, I can’t find that on my FDroid install. Anyone else having that same issue?
It’s on the IzzyOnDroid repo!
But also on the main F-Droid repository. I can see both results when I search (see screenshot in my other reply).
I can. Have you tried updating the repository information in your app?
Ahh that did it. Well, more accurately it led me to the problem - I had installed fdroid on a now deleted alternate profile. Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.
Cheers!
Why is this in privacy? It has like a million unnecessary permissions
Really? Such as?
obviously a weather app couldn’t possibly use your location for anything, must be spyware
- read the contents of your shared storage
- run foreground service
- ask to ignore battery optimization.
- view network connections.
- view Wi-Fi connections.
- run at startup.
- set an alarm.
- expand/collapse status bar.
- run foreground service with the type “specialUse”
- run foreground service with the type “dataSync”
None of these are used in my other weather app =\
Most of those are optional lol The only ones that aren’t are the network ones, and after looking at the source code, it’s mostly used for error messages
