    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?

    My favorite feature is the 1-row weekly weather widget for my home screen. I have that next to its 1x1 widget for everything I want at a glance using minimal space.

        yeah maybe i’m dumb, but for example in the put a few cities widget they offer, I don’t seem to have the option to show for example air pollution instead of temperature. Bummer.

    I’ve been using it for a while now and I love it. FOSS and pretty and customisable.

    Hey, I use this app! It’s awesome. They also included lots of information about the air quality measurements, which I appreciated. For example:

      Than you very much! I’ve been using this app for moths and I didn’t know this. Cool feature.

    I discovered this after giving up on the BBC weather app because it wants me to sign in.

    It’s been really good, I love the details and it’s been getting regular updates. Recommended.

    I guess I’ll keep this in the back of my mind, but I already migrated over to QuickWeather when Geometric Weather went unsupported. It stinks that I can’t swipe between locations anymore, but the built-in radar and higher information density outweigh switching back for me.

    Ohh I’m so glad. I was on geometric weather and it stopped working a few weeks ago. It’s a beautiful app.

    Glad I saw this post today, downloaded and love it straight away! So clean and exactly what I wanted out of a FOSS weather app.

    I was searching for a new weather app a few months ago and landed on Breezy - definitely the best one currently out there for Android!

    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.
