Best weather app?
I've been using Weawow but wondering if there's anything better lately. Preferably free or low cost and without ads.

My favourite too. Been using the 5 day forecast widget on my home screen for several years now.
Open source and available on fdroid, too! Only thing it's missing is a radar map, wX fills that gap nicely (also on fdroid).
You can ask this and probably get a different answer for each comment! It really depends on what you want from it and what data sources work best where you live. I'll mention a few:
Hopefully some of that helped someone!
Nope weawow is the best. It's one of the few non-FOSS apps I use. No tracking that I'm aware of.
I use an older version that still had Dark Sky, and it has the most accurate weather prediction where I live (middle Europe).
IIRC Weawow has Apple weather as a provider, which is basically a rebranded Dark Sky (check out Apple's weatherkit for more info about this rebrand thing)
Ok, I thought they removed when Apple bought it. I remember seeing it in a change log, maybe I'm wrong or they brought it back under Apple branding. In my older version the provider shows up as Dark Sky (Apple).
Yeah, DarkSky was shut down officially last march I think, but last year at wwdc they announced weatherkit as a replacement. Though I am not sure if weatherikt is a 100% match or if it is better or worse than darksky. I want to assume its the same or better but its apple so we never know...
Same, I stopped searching once I got to weawow, has everything I need in a weather app.
I really like Weather Today since it has Apple's weatherkit data, which is basically Dark Sky. It also has a really nice radar view and a per minute rain forecast. There is also Shadow Weather which has this support, but I find the UI to be less appealing.
Seconding Today Weather been using it for quite a while now
I really like that it it has the ability to have transparent backgrounds on its widgets and has several widgets to choose from.
Being able to choose which source you want you weather information to come from is also nice.
Weather on F-droid https://f-droid.org/de/packages/de.beowulf.wetter/
It has a really nice minimalistic widget with whtatever weather info you want for a location and it also integrates a clock with it, so its like 2 widgets in 1
a ton of great options in the thread, but also take a look at Dina. It leverages AI to recommend outfits lol.
also looks pretty nice
I've found Windfinder to be really good for me. It's not as flashy as the others out there, but it's been really accurate and detailed which I value more than other features.
