Nice app. I'm currently using the yr app from the Norwegian weather services. It would be great if that API could be implemented.

I only have one choice for weather data as it stands.

From what I see, MET Norway is an option for weather sources, is that the right one?

[-] Phrey@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 months ago

It looks like it's excluded from the F-Droid build.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 7 months ago

It only gives me the one option in the app. But MET Norway should be it...

[-] cinnamonTea@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

For me it's when I add a new location, then I get to choose what sources to pull from

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah but there are not as much options there as the 'help me choose' GitHub link suggests. Open météo is the only option.

Will have to look into this later.

Very strange. I installed through the neo store a week or so ago and have a couple options

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 7 months ago

I'll try the neo store version later and see if it differs somehow. In the documentation there's some take about 'flavors' of the same app, which is a bit bizarre imho.
