I'm looking for a FOSS Weather app for android

Hello! I'm looking for a foss weather app for android, so I went ahead to f-droid and tried a bunch of them, but didn't find any that fully satisfies me: I want to be able to see the hourly forecast of any day of the week, not just the "global" forecast, and I want the weather service used not to require a credit card (openweathermap.org for example requires the credit card to get an API key). Geometric Weather is the one that I'm currently using, with open-meteo as provider, but sadly it displays hourly forecasts only for the current day, but not for other days.

Do you have any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

Geometric Weather has been continued by different devs, and that version is called Breezy Weather.

You can also find it in the Izzy f-droid repo.

Breezy is really a nice app, too bad on my phone the background updates just don't work (yes they used to work on GeometricWeather)

Did you set the right power saving settings on your phone's settings?

Yes battery optimization is disabled for the app, and no energy saver mode is on
