A simple, fast, and privacy-focused weather app built on official National Weather Service (NWS) data, CONAGUA / Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN), and Open-Meteo as a fallback provider. No ads, no tracking, and no subscriptions. This app was created with a single goal of providing accurate weather information without monetizing your attention or your data. --- FEATURES • GPS-based weather lookup • Address search with saved locations • Official National Weather Service forecast data • CONAGUA / Servicio Meteorológico Nacional (SMN) and Open-Meteo as a fallback provider for Mexico weather • Detailed forecasts with real-world clarity • Dynamic UI that adapts to current conditions • Clean, modern design built with Material 3 • Home screen widget for quick access --- PRIVACY FIRST This app does not collect, store, or share your personal data. • No analytics • No tracking • No advertising SDKs • No data harvesting Your location is only used to request weather data from the National Weather Service and is never sent anywhere else. --- WHY THIS APP EXISTS Weather is public information. Many platforms are increasingly moving toward ads, subscriptions, and data collection. This project is a small step in the opposite direction by keeping weather simple, accessible, and free for everyone. I got tired of clicking for a detailed forecast only to be presented with a completely unusable webpage inundated with ads and pop-ups, so I made my own weather app and I'd like to share it with you. --- OPEN SOURCE This app is fully open-source. You can review the code, verify its behavior, or contribute/make it your own: https://github.com/fa1sepr0phet/Just-NWS-Weather-iOS --- TESTING & FEEDBACK This app is actively being improved. If you encounter bugs or have suggestions, your feedback is welcome. --- Just the weather.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Libre Weather at none against Weather's shown. Weather's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 days) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
