Geometric Weather

Geometric Weather Weather Forecast app for Android description

Geometric Weather is a free and open-source Android weather app. This build flavor has all proprietary dependencies and related code stripped out to make it eligible for inclusion on F-Droid.

In the app, you'll find:

• Real-time temperature
• Daily forecasts up to 15 days, and hourly forecasts for the next 24 hours
• Air quality and allergen information
• Severe weather and precipitation alerts

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

• Automatic dark theme
• Custom icon themes
• Large selection of home screen widgets for at-a-glance information
• Live wallpaper

Current supported weather providers in F-Droid flavor:

• AccuWeather
• OpenWeatherMap
• Météo France

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.
