Need weather app

by8auj6csd3ioq · 16-01-2018 01:31PM #1

Can anyone suggest a weather app for my xperia l1? One that does ot have any more permissions than needed.I do not really understand permissions but understand some apps require more than necessary. Accuweather is on it but I do not know much about it. It says if location enabled anonymous data sent to them. I can get weather without enabling location by choosing the city I want to know about.So should i enabe location? Prefer open source app if possible, what about https://f-droid.org/packages/cz.martykan.forecastie/

That's what I use too. It's excellent and the recent update looks better too.

Use a combination of Yr and the aix weather widget. Works well.

I use YR as its most accurate for long term. Windy app widget is good as well - I cycle a lot and it is the only one I found to give an easy visual for wind speed.
