According to F-Droid:
Why would I use this "Geometric Weather" on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?
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.
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.
Thanks, I didn't hear about omWeather before, which is quite good after follow your recommandation.
