    Installed. Looka really good!

    The cards don’t seem to be chsnging for me when I rearrange them. Otherwise I’m really liking it.

    Thanks! I hadn’t gotten around to finding a GW replacement yet, super happy this came up!

    Couldn’t find in FDroid or using GDroid, had to download from website.

    Didn’t matter, location search is completely broken. Can’t find any location.

    New York? Nope. LA? Nope. Berlin? Nope. None. 😕

      I also had this problem but after setting my current location which requests location permissions it works. I think there’s a slight bug where it doesn’t ask for location permissions on launch. Similarly, the rain notification was failing because it only asked for location permissions while using the app not constantly.

    Any idea why:

    I can’t find it on the F-Droid app?

    The Droid-ify app says it could not validate?

    Edit:

    Had to unselect then reselect the repository to update F-Droid. Version 5.1.8_FDROID showed up and installed without an issue.

    Droid-ify was trying to install 4.??-beta even after updating the Droid-ify app. Maybe that was the issue. Uninstalled Droid-ify.

      Had related issues and not only with Breezy. Had to switch back to the F-Droid app. Too bad.

      I use my own API keys with it and it is great. Highly recommend. All that is missing is Radar. I use a different app for that.

      You need to add the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repo.

      I’ve been using Breezy since it replaced Geometric Weather. It’s a fantastic app.

      I sends notifications for weather warnings and has a lot of info depending on the meteorological data provider.

      I use OSS Weather also as a complement.

    Very nice. Searched some time for a GW replacement but none fullfilled my needs like this!

    I’ve been very impressed with Weawow

        obviously a weather app couldn’t possibly use your location for anything, must be spyware

        • read the contents of your shared storage
        • run foreground service
        • ask to ignore battery optimization.
        • view network connections.
        • view Wi-Fi connections.
        • run at startup.
        • set an alarm.
        • expand/collapse status bar.
        • run foreground service with the type “specialUse”
        • run foreground service with the type “dataSync”

        None of these are used in my other weather app =\

          Most of those are optional lol The only ones that aren’t are the network ones, and after looking at the source code, it’s mostly used for error messages
