Description by Chris Horner (from Google Play)
A super simple app that uses data from Australia's Bureau of Meteorology to tell you what the weather is, and might be.

Inspired by Shift Jelly's Pocket Weather that ended in 2019. The app doesn't have as many bells and whistles as other weather apps, but that's not what it's going for. It's designed to give most people what they want as simply and quickly as possible.

This app respects your privacy, doesn't collect any data, and doesn't have any kind of login. It's also open source: https://github.com/chris-horner/SocketWeather

Recent changes:
- 💔 Fixed BOM breaking how hourly forecasts are delivered
- 🌧 Disabled the rain radar after BOM broke it
- ⚙️ Fixed tap events on home screen widget

Comments on Socket Weather for Android

★★★★★ Jared “Rayblx” Baxter · Aug 3, 2023
Fantastic app, exactly what I was looking for - Australian weather app using BOM data presented in a simple & clean way with a smartly-resizing widget. About the only improvement I'd be keen to see would be displaying the "Feels like" temperature in the widget. Great job!
★★★★☆ Justin Drew · Jun 16, 2022
Great app for the weather and rain forecast however there no rainfall data and would help if it was added.
