Ask HN: Best Dark Sky Replacement for Android
What is currently the best replacement on Android? I don't mind paying for a reasonable subscription service if its privacy conscious or atleast isn't egregiously anti-consumer privacy. Dark Sky hadn't been as good for the past year but previously it was amazing knowing when rain was starting and stopping down to the minute, so it'd be nice to have great features like that.
I initially switched to Dark Sky and became a paying user due to the controversy of Accuweather's free app taking and selling user's location data without permissions [1] so I'd prefer not going back to their ecosystem. However when I was doing light research when the shut down was announced I couldn't find any good alternatives. Carrot seemed like the strongest contender, but it relies on Dark Sky's API in the background [2] so I don't know if its safe from Apple. After deleting Dark Sky I realized that on my 6 home screens half had some kind of widget with weather data from Dark Sky so I'd really like to get something setup soon.
