A privacy friendly weather app for Android with built in rain radar

RadarWeather

This application is forked from Privacy Friendly Weather (https://github.com/SecUSo/privacy-friendly-weather) a privacy friendly weather app. The original function has been modified to support the new OpenWeather One Call API, which provides a lot more features, like precipitation forecast for the next 60 minutes, hourly forecasts for the next 2 days, 8 day week forecasts, etc. In addition a rain radar functionality powered by RainViewer API (https://www.rainviewer.com/api.html) has been added. More weather categories were added, most images and icons were replaced. RadiusSearch now also shows the results on a map with weather icons. A chart showing forecasts with min/max temperature and precipitation for the next week has been added. In addition to the built in city list it is now also possible to use search-as-you-type location search via the photon API (https://photon.komoot.io) which is based on OpenStreetMap.

There are also two new widgets:

If permission for GPS is given the widget will automatically update position on a regular base.

As One Call API only allows 1000 calls per day an own OpenWeatherMap API key is mandatory.

For subscriptions later than Aug 15, 2022 you need a free subscription and OneCallAPI 3.0 with a limit of 1000 (free) calls per day.
