Weather Basic vs NWS Weather (Unofficial)

Hello everyone! My goal was a quick, intuitive & easy to read interface for glancing at the forecast. Weather Basic exposes the basic components of the forecast to you in a presentable manner. Having no ads & being accessible were key to making it work for me. A few people were interested and tested for a while, so I decided to publish on the app store for more people to hopefully enjoy. Depending on download count and feedback, I can devote more of my time to app improvements, mostly to the quality of the forecast data. If you'd like to request a feature, you can reach out using the 'Report an Issue' button in the settings menu.

***NWS Weather is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National Weather Service, NOAA, the EPA, or any government agency; all forecast, air-quality, and related data are provided by those agencies as public information.*** NWS Weather is a clean, fast, familiar weather app for iPhone and iPad — the everyday weather experience you already know, rebuilt from the ground up on forecasts that come straight from the U.S. National Weather Service. WHY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS Most weather apps license their data from private vendors who re-process it through their own models. NWS Weather goes to the source. The National Weather Service is the United States government's official forecasting agency — the same meteorologists, at your local Weather Forecast Office, who issue the country's official watches, warnings, and advisories. Their forecasts are made by professional human forecasters, updated around the clock, and provided to every American as a free public service. No middleman, no proprietary "AI forecast," no paywall — just the authoritative government forecast for your exact location. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your weather is nobody's business but yours. • No account. No sign-up, no email, nothing to log into. • No tracking. No analytics SDKs, no advertising, no third-party trackers. • No server of ours. NWS Weather has no backend of its own — your device talks directly to government weather services. We never receive, see, or store a copy of your location or anything you do in the app. • Your location is used only to fetch your forecast, and goes (rounded) straight to the government's public weather API — never to us. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT • Current conditions with feels-like temperature, humidity, wind, pressure trend, and visibility • Hour-by-hour forecast and a detailed 7-day outlook • Beautiful daily charts for temperature and "feels like" • Official NWS alerts — watches, warnings, and advisories with the full text, issuing office, and affected areas • Sunrise and sunset times AN INTERACTIVE WEATHER MAP • Animated NOAA radar • Forecast layers for temperature, precipitation, and wind • Scrub through time and watch the loop play • Your saved cities, right on the map AIR QUALITY & SUN • Live Air Quality Index from the EPA's AirNow network, with plain-language health guidance • UV Index so you know when to cover up HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Keep your favorite places a glance away, refreshed in the background. BUILT ENTIRELY ON PUBLIC DATA Every number in NWS Weather comes from a U.S. government or public source: the National Weather Service (api.weather.gov), the EPA (AirNow air quality and UV index), and NOAA (radar and forecast map layers, plus climate normals). No private data vendors, ever. A NOTE ON COVERAGE Because NWS Weather is built on National Weather Service data, it covers the United States and its territories.
