      Thanks for this recommendation, it looks great. Definitely an improvement over the default Android weather.

      Thank you for the recommendation! Unfortunately, it seems that it’s not yet available on GooglePlay, or F-Droid becaus of stability, but it can be added from this F-Droid repo.

      Thank you very much for the recommendation! It looks like Geometric Weather is no longer maintained, but, fortunately, it was forked as Breezy Weather (The motivation for this decision is stated here).

    I use an iPhone at the moment, so I don’t have direct experience with the Android version, but I very much like Yr. It is free, I think open-source (they at least have a github page), gives you a good amount of info (hourly, 3-day, and long-term forecasts, graphs of temperature, pressure, wind, and rain UV index, maybe a few other things), gathers basically no data about users, has no ads, and has a reasonably good UI. It’s maintained by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, so it probably works better in Norway - but I am in the US and it’s honestly been fine for anything that doesn’t need minute-by-minute updates (per their website it updates every 6 hours outside of Norway).

    I’ll hijack your question, cuz I have one too. A few days ago I was trying weather apps from F-Droid, but neither seem to support widgets?

    Are there simply not there or is there something wrong with my phone or whatever? I’ve tried at least 5 that have been updated this year, but neither showed up in widgets. (I have a lot of widgets, incl. AF weather and Weawow.)

    I use RadarWeather. It requires an OpenWeather API key. Omweather apparently is the same but doesn’t require the API key. I use RadarWeather because it has a true radar screen for viewing rain location.

    It isn’t the prettiest but it does have widgets.

    I’ve tried OmWeather (F-Droid) and Breezy Weather (Github), mainly searching for nice-looking and customizable widgets to use, and in that respect Breezy is my winner for now. I know that Forecastie is also another good one.
