I’d like to track hurricanes. All the apps I see collect all kinds of personal data. I just go to NOAA to see the advisories, but wondering if there is something better.

Edit: OS is Android 14 Edit: looking for radar (probably) or some other feature to track hurricanes (I don’t know what tools there are besides radar, but if there’s something else I’m interested).

    OpenWeatherMap seems promising, but their site uses Google analytics, have a lengthy privacy policy I’m not reading all of, and they have a bunch of paid subscription plans, so I’m rather pessimistic.

      Hmm, the app on google play store says it collects no information and shares no information with third parties. I’m hopeful about this one.

      —actually, looks like a nice general weather app, but doesn’t have hurricane tracking features

      Having Google analytics means it’s the same as a Google owned website. You shouldn’t recommend such services for privacy.

        What part of “I’m rather pessimistic” and complaining about their privacy policy sounds like a recommendation. It was more intended as a warning.
