How is the report generated andwhere is the data sourced from? I often have huge issues with weather reports being very wrong or not up to date fast enough to be useful so I end up just using the national report but their app is terrible.

Can it show something like a dashboard with forecasts for multiple cities at once?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yep, it has a widget for that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You mean, homescreen widget?

No in app view for that?

I just installed the app and it looks pretty cool, but can't find forecast graphs for multiple locations on the same screen anywhere.

If it's just about current weather, the locations view kind of does this. Otherwise, I'd be super interested to hear which app you'd seen that in before, sounds like an interesting feature

I don't think it's FOSS (that's why I'm looking for a replacement), but Klara does this:

Very cool feature, thanks for sharing!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

No problem.

If you ever find a FOSS alternative, let me know :-)

Just found it and managed to load it into Niagara launcher.

Excellent looking, but it's only been running for 5 mins so I can't really judge it ;-)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Does it have any widgets lines the cure day/time/weather or 5 day outlook.

I'm one of those people that would rather have a weather widget on my home screen than opening an app every time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yes it has tons of widget option with clock + weather being one option and weekly weather being another

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Neat, tossed a widget on my home screen!

What's with all of the permissions?

But what's wrong with the regular app for weather on my Redmi 13? It seems to work just fine
