A few weeks ago, I posted an invitation to test a WF-specific weather station app. But I got distracted on the way to the market by other weather data that isn’t available via the WF API, so I created a weather app using the openmeteo API’s forecast/history/marine data. I also added my own implementations of tidal and current data (including current vs. wind), NWS alerts, and climate norms to track heatwaves and cold snaps.
I always intended to return to the weatherflow station app, but ultimately decided to merge the two. So, for data from tempest stations, both current and historic, I use WF, but for forecast and data not available via WF, I use openmeteo.
The app can have multiple non-WF locations, but multiple WF stations must be associated with the same token/account.
This is a completely customizable screen + widget system that allows widgets to be added, resized and removed from screens. Screens can also be added, removed and reordered. There is also a robust alerting system.
I am still only doing internal testing, but if you are interested in taking a looksee, send me an email to zeddisplay@zennora.sv. Include your OS preference (Android or iOS), and I will add you to the testers group.

A unordered sample of widget screenshots:
Climate normals track aberrant temperatures over a window of up to 15 days around today.
The solar radiation widget tracks potential gain from solar panels. (The angle and orientation of panels are customizable.)
Weather aloft just shows the forecast temperature at each altitude.
For boaters, wind versus current can create challenging conditions. This attempts to forecast that.
This is the forecast spinner, which allows users to quickly spin through time to view the general forecast, wind conditions, sea state and tidal info.
A more traditional widget for viewing forecast data.
This widget gauges forecast conditions for outdoor activities. Tolerance levels for various conditions can be adjusted in the app settings.
Current and tide conditions for nearby locations (customizable).
Air Quality
Wind distribution (there are similar widgets for temperatures and precipiation including snow)
