So they finally went and broke the Google Weather app so the widget won’t work because it wants location permissions even when the app is not in use.
Homie don’t play that shit. You don’t need my location except when I am actively needing to use the app; go fuck yourself Google.
Is there anything Lemmy recommends?
I use breezy weather:
Perfect.
And, just FYI: It’s not on the Play Store at all. Had to get the APK from its github (since I don’t use F-Droid).
If you prefer to get updates but dont wanna use f-droid for whatever reason obtainium may be helpful to you, it manages versions and will give updates from whatever repo you point it at
I dont use it cause I prefer f-droid but thought I’d mention it in case you weren’t already familiar :)
Just out of curiosity, do you have a specific reason not to use F-Droid?
Removed by mod
I agree. Plus the only REALLY needed permission it uses is network connection. Everything else is optional. Well, at least in the F-Droid version of Breezy. Dunno about the Play Store version.
This is the way
