I love breezy weather, but the widget has stopped updating since the last OS update. I've tried all of the stuff to prevent killing background apps. Anyone know a fix?

Breezy Weather all the way, also like Flowx app for it's easy to read and condensed whole week chart also available at a widget, name and icon looks like period ~~taking~~ tracking app but believe me it's a weather app, shame it's not open source

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Like a period taking app? Like tracking my menstrual cycles?

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, I've meant a period tracking app, autocorrect 😁

[–] wellee@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Wait you have a weather app you like? None of mine are remotely accurate

[–] jimp@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I check them all and choose the nicest forecast

[–] Greyfoxsolid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nothing really compares to what Dark Sky was, but MyRadar is as close as I could find and I've tried all the major and some not so major apps on the Google Play store.

The weather channel app has some pretty good widgets. No adds on the widgets either

[–] FilterItOut@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 years ago

I use the one in the pic, and I have to say it is pretty damn good at predicting rain.

Yeah MyRadar is the only app that seems to give me a reasonably accurate forecast in Ohio. I block ads and mostly look at the actual radar though.

Wunderground went to crap and I've really tried to like Shadow Weather but it's wrong too often. Meteo Weather Widget is decent but not as useful to me as radar.

[–] Greyfoxsolid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've tried the majority of the weather apps on the android app store, and they're all just mediocre compared to MyRadar.

Then again, MyRadar is mediocre compared to what Dark Sky was. What an unfortunate situation with that app being bought by Apple and turned into WeatherKit or whatever. That was the best weather app, hands down.

Weather underground was so good before IBM bought it, it's a shame

"Breezy Weather is a weather app with a strong focus on design, with a simple, clean UX, smooth animations, and Material Design all over, plus lots of customizability.", https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather

[–] KrapKake@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I love Breezy Weather!

[–] KrapKake@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Gross, much prefer Wx, Breezy Weather and sometimes RadarOmega to watch severe weather outbreaks.

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (6 children)

weather.gov works fine, thanks

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That looks pretty useless unless you live in whatever country there based in though, which certainly isn't the UK.

Get yourself a government funded (well, taxpayer funded) weather forecast page. Quite accurate forecasts for weather, rain, cloudiness (including simulated radar models). Also radar images for cloudiness and rain. And free historic data. Without ads.

But I guess that sounds too communism

[–] blackfire@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Nobody has mentioned windy. It has multiple maps and multiple sources you can look through. Highly recommend

[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To add to this, very much the red icon windy app, not the blue one.

[–] blackfire@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's a different app of the same name but it's very much geared toward sporting weather than active weather.
It's probably great if you go sailing a lot or fly a plane, but it's not the best for hourly weather and radar.
They have the same name but it's too very different experiences.
The windy app with a red icon is far superior in my opinion.

Kids these days with their GUIs and fancy apps. Just curl wttr.in as Thompson intended.

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

They're not always correct, tho: recently checked it, it said smth like 14C which is supposed to be comfortable (yet it felt quite hot outside), then checked another provider -- 18C (yeah, that's closer).

[–] dexxen@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I really like Weawow. I can customize the weather source and display it without ads.

Wx is available for free on fdroid. You're welcome.

[–] Greyfoxsolid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just installed f droid to check this out. I don't like it. Way too bare bones and not really intuitive.

[–] Manmoth@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's free/libre, open source and has accurate doppler radar and forecasts. It's one of those get what you pay for deals except he doesn't sell your data.

Nah it's ilmatieteenlaitos forever for me

[–] kosanovskiy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I use Google since that has hourly. Couldn't get that on breezy

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I use that because I can't be bothered with a weather app.

I just use the app provided by our local observatory. It's good enough
