So now are you spying on me somehow? I don’t understand apps, I didn’t pay for this, so what are you getting out of it if it’s free for me? serious question because I don’t know how the world works.
That’s a great question. I’m using the API from Open Weather. It’s free for the first 1000 requests, then like fifteen cents per 100 after that. They also have a free version of their API.
Eventually, if enough people start using it, I’ll switch to the free, limited version. So I don’t share this app with others much.
What am I getting out of it? I built it because I was tired of other weather apps and also wanted something to add to my portfolio since I’m trying to switch from SDET to Android developer.
Well i also installed it now and it is great! Indeed a no BS design and really simple (in a good way). If a paid option comes along I will definitely get it if am not a poor student anymore. Only issue i had was that I was not able to switch to mm\hour (unresponsive ui button) on my FP5 but I expected so much less and you have already blown me away. If you would progress development a widget would be nice. (I really don’t expect further development but maybe youappreciated the feedback.
And how does the free API differ? Less exact data like graphs?
The issue you discovered with the unresponsive button os a bug, thanks for finding it. You can still switch, if you click the checks on the right, I just forgot to attach the text to the click. That will be updated this week.
I want to add a widget at some point, so keep an eye out for it in the future.
The free API basically is just less information. Shorter forecast, 5 vs 8 days, 3 hours vs 48, etc. the details are mostly the same, just essentially looking through a smaller window.
This is one of the many reasons I built my own weather application for Android. Too much crap out there.
Are you willing too share? Been looking for a good weather app.
On F Droid lots of beautiful ones. Breezy, Prognoza, Rain, and more.
Try openweather
I use Openweather and it suffices.
It can be found on Google Play, Weather Warbler. I haven’t put it on F-Droid yet. Still adding features, so it’s not complete yet, but getting there.
Thanks. I just installed it. You’re right, it’s straightforward and no bullshit about it. How refreshing.
Glad you like it.

Anyhow, thanks for the great app!
