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.
