About this app

OSS Weather — a lightweight, privacy-first, open-source weather app for Android that gives you fast, clear, and trustworthy forecasts without tracking or ads.

Key Android features

* Local current conditions: temperature, feels‑like, humidity, wind (speed & direction), pressure, and visibility.
* Hourly, minutely and multi-day forecasts: interactive timelines with up to 48‑hour hourly data and 7–14 day daily summaries (provider dependent).
* Radar maps: animated precipitation radar (MapTiler), zoom / pan and time layers — note: the map interface currently shows radar overlays.
* Home screen widgets: multiple widget sizes and configurable layouts for quick glances and real‑time updates.
* Multiple weather providers: switch between OpenWeather, Open‑Meteo, AccuWeather and Meteo France; supply your own API key if necessary.
* Offline caching & efficient updates: recent data stays available when connectivity is limited and background refresh is optimized for low battery impact.
* Customizable UI & appearance: light/dark/auto theme, compact or detailed layouts, and locale‑aware formatting.
* Privacy & open source: no ads, no tracking or analytics (only optional crash reporting); full source code under MIT license.

Astronomy & sun/moon data

* Sun information: sunrise, sunset
* Moon information: moonrise, moonset, moon phase, moon position and related path/visuals.

Data you can view (examples)

* Temperatures: current, hourly, daily high/low, feels‑like
* Precipitation: probability, amount, minute‑by‑minute (where supported)
* Wind: speed, gusts, bearing/direction
* Atmospheric: pressure trends, humidity, dew point, cloud cover
* UV index, visibility, and other provider‑specific metrics
* Air Quality (AQI) and individual pollutant breakdowns when the selected provider supplies that data

Settings & customization

* Icons style: choose between multiple icon styles. Supports icon providers from Breezy Weather and Geometric Weather
* Units: temperature, wind, pressure, precipitation, distance, ...
* Time format: 12/24‑hour toggle and locale‑aware formatting
* Provider & API keys: choose provider and enter your own API key to avoid rate limits or use the included default key (rate limits may apply)
* Refresh frequency: configurable background refresh intervals and widget update cadence
* Widget options: choose saved location, select displayed metrics, and pick widget style/size
* Location: use device location (approximate or precise) or add/manage locations manually

Ratings and reviews

Love it. Best one so far. Lacks Beaufort wind scale and weather alerts. To compensate for no alerts, I installed and used a second weather app, Emergency by the American Red Cross. I have tried 14 different weather apps (they all lack at least one thing I want), some put radar and/or aqi behind the paid version thus keeping those crucial things from their free versions (like hello, clime, and carrot). Some have no radar and no aqi like openweather.

Api key still not fixed. Should not pop up every time you refresh. Broken foot several updates now. Edit. Yeah key for open weather. Every time I would refresh it would popup and ask to save but it seems to be fixed now. This is a very nice weather app. I hope you add more sources on the future.

Please, can you add some beautiful widgets.
