★ "A no-nonsense approach to show weather data on your phone, but done well and great looking" - Android Central
This app uses NOAA point forecasts from your GPS location to get the most localized weather available. Point forecasts are great for climbing, hiking, skiing, or any outdoor activity where weather from a nearby city isn't accurate enough.
GPS on the phone will provide the most accurate location, but usually isn't needed. Nearby cell towers and Wi-Fi networks can also provide this information, and will be checked first to save time and battery. You can also enter a location manually.
To provided highly localized forecasting, this app uses point forecasts from the National Weather Service (NOAA/NWS), and is therefore only available in the US.
If there is severe weather this will display at the top of the forecast. This app currently does NOT support severe weather alerts or notifications. NOAA is providing this service directly through cell carriers. You can read more about the service at https://www.weather.gov/wrn/wea.
There are also several differently sized widgets available which can be placed on your homescreen to provide some basic weather information, without the need to open the app.
Forecast discussion is available through the menu button.
Permission: Location This app requires your location to provide you with the most accurate weather. This is fundamental to how the app works. You can still add manual locations as well if you prefer.
Permission: Photos/Media/Files This permission is required by Google Maps so that it can cache map tiles for faster loading. It sounds like the app is doing something with your photos or media, but it is not. The permission means that the app has permission to access your files (which includes photos and media), but does not mean they are actually being accessed. It is a subtle but important distinction. Contact me if you have further questions about this.
These are the non-simplified permissions as listed in the Android manifest: android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" (location access listed above) android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" (check for network connection) android.permission.INTERNET" (download weather) android.permission.VIBRATE" (for zoom feedback on old radar) android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" (this is Photos/Media/Files listed above) com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES" (required by google maps)
Recent changes: v2.18.1 * Added new resizeable widget with new design for Android 12+ * Improved widget configuration screen * Fixed hourly color change not applying whne viewed as a table * Bug fixes

Comments on NOAA Weather Unofficial (Pro) for Android
★★★★★Joshua LaBerge· Jul 11, 2026
Not the prettiest, but exactly what you want from a weather app. Give me NOAA data and do so efficiently without "value add" opinions
★★★★★Steve Rozmiarek· Jun 11, 2026
Hourly charts are the best on the market if you need to see accurate hourly wind and rain forecast for ag uses. 10 years later, still love the app but have to comment that the wind direction arrows on the hourly forecast are the best upgrade to date! Thank you!

Inaccurate. I checked it at 9:30 am, and it says rain and thunderstorms by 11:00 this morning. So I go out with my umbrella, and it's a bright sunny morning with no clouds in the sky by 11:00. Waste of money and I regret paying for it.

Getting worse and worse. Constantly failing to download forecasts. Forecasts way off or hours slow. It might say it's sunny out when it's storming.
★★☆☆☆Scott· Aug 10, 2026
Clean UI without ads or bloat, but it relies entirely on the api.weather.gov endpoint with zero fallback. The NWS server is notoriously fragile, crashing not just during severe weather, but at random times when you just want a routine forecast. A weather app is nearly useless if it depends entirely on a single, unstable source of information. Without a commercial backup or cached fallback, a nice interface doesn't stop it from being an unreliable brick. Fix the pipeline. Oh, and it phones home.

I like the app itself, but the widgets (which is what I really want) say "Update Error" most of the time.
