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 don't need auto-location set. All I need is to type in the name of my city or area. Sound simple? No, we need to connect because there is always other stuff and things going on under the covers.
