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.

What is meant by “non-free network service” in this context?

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.

Breezy Weather also supports OpenMeteo. Can be changed in the settings.

Thanks, I didn't hear about omWeather before, which is quite good after follow your recommandation.
