Ducky Weather is a privacy-focused, easy to use weather application, that provides accurate weather forecasts from the National Weather Service. Your location is used only to retrieve a weather forecast, where other weather applications may send your location data to trackers, which is really creepy! Below is a list of ideas that were implemented from requests. If you have an idea for the app, please send it our way: - Support Multiple Locations (shout out to Santiago L!) - Widgets (shout out to Will B!) - Dew Point - Watch App (shout out to Michael P!) - Watch Complication (shout out to Michael P!) - Theme Support - Icon Support Upcoming features we have planned: - Weather for a driving route (Vipin C)
