i am done with the one i am currently using after they discontinued the paid version and replaced it with a subscription years ago. i then used the free version with an ad blocker but today i opened it to find the message "allow tracking" with no opt out...

i know weather tokens aren't free but the first question is if there even is one that has a rain radar. it's the one feature i find useful (and why i kept using the old app as long as possible...) but it's mostly absent from apps it seems.

it doesn't need to be free or completely open source, just no subscription.

Would Breezy work for you?

I use Cirrus because I love its widget, and it does have rain radar. It's GPL-3.0

I use cirrus for radar and the radar widget, breezy for everything else.

Quickweather
Has decent radar and info.

But I still like and use the 5-day forecast graphs from Forecastie

Never delved deep so I'm not sure. For me its general weather, sun shine, rain or snow and that's it.

cirrus has that rain radar

i prefer OSS weather but their map doesn't work for me. Model comparison is really useful and i haven't seen it on any other app.

quick weather has a full screen rain radar but the rest of the ui is not customisable :/

Did a quick search on F-Droid and found RadarWeather. Maybe it'll work for you.
