    For those who might still be using Weather Network, try Weawow! :D

      WeatherCAN works great. It’s the official Environment Canada app.

        Good data. Interface even a mother couldn’t love.

          I’ve never found any real issue with the interface. Now, their website…

            OK I just checked the phone app and it’s notably improved, if still kind of clunky. Competitive field, weather apps, where interface really matters.

      Is it FOSS? I’m strugling to find an accurate weather app on FDROID.

        Check out https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather

        Lots of options for weather data providers, national and international. Even have an option for open meteo.

      Landed on Weawow a couple of years ago and I never anticipate changing. I only wish it had local tides, but that’s a big ask for a free app that has so much more.
