Read full description

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.

Is my street flooded? Tchoup answers that question for New Orleans — live, block by block. WHAT YOU SEE • Flood reports from neighbors: where water is standing right now, how deep (ankle, tire, bumper, up to the windows), confirmed by other people on the block. • Pump station status across the city, updated continuously. • Live rain radar. • River and canal gauges with flood stages. • Underpass danger zones — the low spots where cars drown. They glow red when flood-risk weather is active or flooding is reported nearby. • A shareable "roads to avoid right now" list for the family group chat. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Report flooding in two taps to warn your block. • Confirm or clear other reports so the map stays honest. • Save your home (privately) and get a push notification when a neighbor reports flooding within 1/3 mile. HOW IT STAYS TRUSTWORTHY • Sign-in is one tap (Apple) or a passwordless email link. • You can't confirm your own report. Reports expire after 3 hours unless someone confirms them, and disappear when neighbors say the water's gone. • No ads, no tracking, no data sales. Your home location is never shown to anyone. Turn around, don't drown. If there's water across the road, don't drive into it — check the map, find another way. Tchoup is a product of Edge Orbital, made in New Orleans.
