Google kills another thing I loved that cost them pennies, if anything because weather is free data. I left Google Android and am glad I did.

While this is bad, I'm using the Pixel Weather app, which doesn't seem to be affected by this change?

I've changed to breezy weather. It's great.
Edit ice to I've.

In the current political environment, you might want to fix that typo 😉

Weawow is a free (and ad-free) weather app.. It's truly unbelievably good, totally customizable, no ads. Love it.

Linking to my recent weather app review for Overmorrow, a fantastic weather app.

Why is every Apple thread filled with “just use android” people?

It’s cuz people like to hate on other people

I used to use this PWA and I'm sad to see it go. I switched to using the pixel weather app because it was clear that google cared about it more. One of the great things about android is that you can sideload pixel apps even if you dont have a pixel.

For now, but they're eliminating that capability later this year.
