GeometricWeather isn't maintained any more. Check out it's fork BreezyWeather.

iOS? Is it just me, because I don’t see any iOS version…

edit: it’s just me

According to F-Droid:

Anti-Features

This app has features you may not like.

This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service

Why would I use this "Geometric Weather" on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?

Doesn't show as much information (e.g. dew point, daily forecast details).

Doesn't support multiple weather providers, AFAIK.

Doesn't look as nice, if that matters.

Both apps don't track. I would venture a guess and say that Breezy Weather has the warning, because it includes AccuWeather, which can be turned off and changed to OpenMeteo or others.

What is meant by "non-free network service" in this context? Geometric Weather doesn't charge for anything, nor does it even have in-app purchases.

What is meant by “non-free network service” in this context?

Geometric Weather gets its weather data from AccuWeather and OpenWeatherMap, which are not open source weather APIs. In contrast, omWeather gets its weather data from Open-Meteo, which is open source.
