I’ve already asked this on the lemmy.ml instance, but I figured I’d ask here as well!

What weather app does everyone use?

Personally I like the built in Google one, though I always consider getting one with DarkSky in it so I can get weather notifications.

    Geometric Weather from FDroid is my absolute favourite. Clean, no adds. It even has a live wallpaper that shows current weather which I love.

    I like Yr a lot. Simple and (mostly) accurate, even outside Norway.

    NOAA Weather. No frills, just the straight data that everyone else uses in straight forward graphs and visualizations.

    I always like wunderground for its accuracy and there use to be an app for it, but HP cut off the API. Now I use Prognoza on f-droid, seems OK.

    If you want to be mildly terrified, do a search on which weather apps do NOT collect and sell your data. Hint: you won’t find many.
    They are notorious for gathering background data, including your location, obviously.

    Unfortunately, most of the weather apps that claim to not sell your data are subscription based and fairly expensive.

    I used to be a weather app nerd, but I’m also a privacy advocate, so these days I just use a bookmarked weather website.

    Radar Scope so I can see where the rain is headed.

    I also have like seven other weather apps that never agree with each other exactly, so I just see what the consensus is amongst them all and guess.
