      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.

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

    Hrm, I can’t find that on my FDroid install. Anyone else having that same issue?

        Ahh that did it. Well, more accurately it led me to the problem - I had installed fdroid on a now deleted alternate profile. Uninstall and reinstall fixed it.

        Cheers!

        But also on the main F-Droid repository. I can see both results when I search (see screenshot in my other reply).

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

    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.

      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.

      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.

    Why is this in privacy? It has like a million unnecessary permissions

          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
