★ "A no-nonsense approach to show weather data on your phone, but done well and great looking" - Android CentralThis app uses NOAA point forecasts from your GPS location to get the most localized weather available.
Point forecasts are great for climbing, hiking, skiing, or any outdoor activity where weather from a nearby city isnt accurate enough.GPS on the phone will provide the most accurate location, but usually isnt needed.
Nearby cell towers and Wi-Fi networks can also provide this information, and will be checked first to save time and battery.
You can also enter a location manually.To provided highly localized forecasting, this app uses point forecasts from the National Weather Service (NOAA/NWS), and is therefore only available in the US.If there is severe weather this will display at the top of the forecast.
This app currently does NOT support severe weather alerts or notifications.
NOAA is providing this service directly through cell carriers.
You can read more about the service at https://www.weather.gov/wrn/wea.There are also several differently sized widgets available which can be placed on your homescreen to provide some basic weather information, without the need to open the app.Forecast discussion is available through the menu button.Permission: LocationThis app requires your location to provide you with the most accurate weather.
This is fundamental to how the app works.
You can still add manual locations as well if you prefer.Permission: Photos/Media/FilesThis permission is required by Google Maps so that it can cache map tiles for faster loading.
It sounds like the app is doing something with your photos or media, but it is not.
The permission means that the app has permission to access your files (which includes photos and media), but does not mean they are actually being accessed.
It is a subtle but important distinction.
