In the app, you'll find:

- Precipitations in the next hour
- Air quality, allergen and ephemeris information

The app has a strong focus on design, with a simple, clean UX, smooth animations, and Material Design all over, plus lots of customizability:

- Live wallpaper

This app requests a number of permissions; some required, some optional.
Required permissions:
- Network (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, INTERNET): Allows the app to fetch weather data from providers over the Internet
- Background updates (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, SET_ALARM): Allows the app to refresh weather data in the background
- Tile (EXPAND_STATUS_BAR): Allows the app to launch itself from Quick Settings
Optional permissions:
- Location (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION): Allows the app to show weather in your current location
- Storage (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): Allows the app to set the live weather wallpaper and/or widgets on some devices
- Ignore battery optimizations (REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS): Prevents the app from being killed in the background. Potentially more reliable method for fetching background weather data on some devices
- Read phone state (READ_PHONE_STATE): Required by an app dependency: not actually used, but can't be removed. It's okay to never enable this.
