Show me one weather app that's state-sponsored (therefore: paid by taxes) that sells data to boost income.

    Nearly every weather app that exists is repackaging data from an official, tax funded source. Apps using weather underground data possibly being the only exception.

    Show me one that doesn't want location permissions and such. So now they've got Your data and can do as they please with it.

    To be fair, a weather app does need to know my location to give relevant information.

    The weather source. Not the application source. A dude needs to sit down and write that part.

    Sure, and it would be cool if that dude didn't pass my personal information to a third party.
