Sunrays beaming, snow flakes falling, and lightning striking? The pro version offers softly animated icons for the extra retro flair. Your phone will never have felt so much your own.

F E A T U R E S
• Beautiful pixel art icons for each weather condition
• Animated pixel art icons (Pro version)
• Dynamic location (Pro version)
• Fully configurable widget text
• 12 placeholders: Current weather, temperature, "feels like" temperature, weather station, city, country, sunrise, sunset, weekday, day, month and year.
• COMING SOON: Hourly and daily forecast
• COMING SOON: Localisation for Latin-based languages
• COMING SOON: Animated widget backgrounds

Choose your own adventure! Retro Mode Weather is entirely free to use. A fair and transparent coin system lets you watch a 30-second ad in exchange for 4 days worth' of widget updates. You choose when and how many you watch.

Not a fan of ads? If you'd rather save your time for more important adventures, subscribe to Retro Mode's Pro version and get animated icons, animated widget backgrounds (coming soon) and the dynamic location feature on top. All while supporting me as an independent artist.

L O C A T I O N
If you enable the "Dynamic Location" feature (Pro only) in Retro Mode Weather, it will periodically collect your location (latitude and longitude) to update widgets with your current location's weather conditions - even when the app is not actively in use.

Your data is safe with me. My servers are located in the EU and any location data is immediately discarded after weather information is sent back to you. It is never stored and never shared with anyone.
