    No app will work without some data... however I believe this one can load data and use it at a later point in an offline mode, however after a few days it may be totally out

    You will need data to make sure that data on the app is correct.

    The only weather app that would work without data would be a barometer, which is built into a lot of phones nowadays.

    Do as we did before we had mobiles and apps.

    Forecast using the clouds ;)

    Can I ask, how do you expect the app to tell the weather? It gets it from a source, via the internet.

    It sounds like a ridiculously stupid question, but the vast majority of people have no idea how phone apps work and even less of an idea about how weather forecasting works. Combine the two and it's not actually that bad of a question.

    A weather app repeats forecasts. Are generally more inaccurate the further away (in time) they forecast. So the longer away from a data source and an update the more inaccurate it will be.
