Good weather app with widget and doesn't need location data ALL THE TIME? (pawb.social)

So they finally went and broke the Google Weather app so the widget won't work because it wants location permissions even when the app is not in use.

Homie don't play that shit. You don't need my location except when I am actively needing to use the app; go fuck yourself Google.

Is there anything Lemmy recommends?

I agree. Plus the only REALLY needed permission it uses is network connection. Everything else is optional. Well, at least in the F-Droid version of Breezy. Dunno about the Play Store version.
