Umbrella

A simple weather app that tells you if you need to take an umbrella when going outside ☔ + it shows air quality and allergy information for supported regions. Currently only in Polish.

It doesn't show current weather outside - you can check it yourself by looking out through a window 🙃 Umbrella will tell you the future 🔮.

And it's kinda quick at that: Pingdom report, GTmetrix report.
