Another app that I found that I’ve been enjoying is Weather Fit. The main goal of this app is to give you ideas on how to dress for the weather. I don’t really use it for that, I just like the widgets lol. https://i.imgur.com/CM3ObOr.jpg

Ugh, but an ugly app privacy report for that one. Data used to track you, including location. I haven't used Weawow, but that one has a good app privacy report.

Yeah that does suck. Good to know that Weawow looks good at least.

Wouldn’t it need you location to recommend clothing for your current area?

Right. Most weather apps are most useful when they have your location. The issue is that they are linking the location to tracking you specifically, which they share with third parties (e.g., they sell the info to ad brokers). WeaWow tracks location, but not linked specifically to you.
