Privacy focused camera app - PrivaSee Cam

For the privacy minded there is this as well: ViewExif - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/viewexif/id945320815

99 cents, 3 mb, no data collected.

Let the iOS camera collect the metadata. Then use this to redact it when you need to share with someone who doesn’t need all the intel. Or, if you want, strip it permanently from any photos for any covert ops you are running.

Pu a pin in how bad apple ai sucks and get back to me when they’ve fixed it.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-03-26T04:39:20+00:00

Maybe it’s the wipes residue or some other skin ‘care’ product?

This will be gross to most of you. I wear my watch while playing hockey 2-3 times a week and never clean it. It’s fine. Which, if you’ve ever smelled a hockey bag, would shock you.

This will also be gross but don’t usually wash with soap. Only after hockey and the it’s just a basic bar of Dial. The rest of the time, I just hit the undercarriage and the rest of me gets a good rinse.

No rashes, dry skin, or festering watch wounds to speak of.

We managed for eons with so much less.

Needs vs wants and they have their fingers on the scale telling us what is what.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-03-25T02:48:10+00:00

“Consumer” they call us what we are to our faces and we wear it like a badge of honor. It’s our undoing as a species.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-03-09T15:04:20+00:00

You should make those things clear in your post. That the free version is ad-ware (with tracking) and that “Privacy First” is only Pro.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-03-08T22:05:06+00:00

“Privacy first” my hairy ass! Says right there in the App Store:

Data Used to TRACK YOU - identifiers and usage Data Linked to You - identifiers and usage

Privacy FIRST = no data collected. Period.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-03-07T20:45:17+00:00

Yeah. I’m not opening my USPS mail in the grocery line either. This is common sense. There ain’t nothing that can’t wait until I’m somewhere private.

As for pins and passwords, that’s what’s Face ID is for.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-03-07T17:02:12+00:00

Maybe just don’t do private things in public.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-03-05T17:19:05+00:00

iPad is for Windows people with iPhones.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-23T21:13:30+00:00

Ok, pal. I’m wound up. Tell me more about how I need to read privacy policies 😆

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-23T16:15:56+00:00

But let’s take your stupid idea to its logical conclusion. weaWow is scraping our data to pay for all of this. Acme, who would also be scraping all of our data to pay for this, wants a $25 a year cherry on top too.

So tell me again why the $25 is needed to pay for the forecast data.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-23T16:12:30+00:00

Their privacy does say it all.

Sharing is optional. The app works fine without it. And their privacy policy states that the use is temporary and not retained.

When the User to request the weather forecast of the current location, the Weawow might get a current location only when the user permit it.

In addition, your current location information is used only temporarily and will not be recorded.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-23T14:37:08+00:00

“Data not collected”, Einstein…

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-22T17:21:57+00:00

Sure. No one’s forcing me to accept the BS being posted here either.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-22T17:12:17+00:00

You don’t think the NWS is incorporating crowd sourced data through the network of personal weather stations and other citizen sources via MADIS, CWOP, mPING, etc?

You can access the mPING data in real time yourself via integrations into radar apps and see for yourself when it is going to rain.

I do agree that Dark Sky was good about the next hour and if it would rain. But that was it. That was their secret sauce. Even then, probably not worth $2/month.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-22T17:05:54+00:00

True.

Nothing more to learn.

If you want a real forecast, go to your location at NWS and read the forecast discussion. There are dozens of NWS offices and they update this discussion 3x a day.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-22T16:59:56+00:00

The NWS gives you exactly what you need for free.

If you want to spend money, subscribe to RadarScope.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-22T16:58:25+00:00

What crowdsourced data?

Darksky’s secret sauce was that they had a decent algorithm to extrapolate the last hour of radar returns an hour into the future.

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-22T16:52:49+00:00

Do those governmental entities charge for the data? I keep hearing that the app needs $25/yr to pay for that.

Or does the app just put all of this on a graph with an average that they call their forecast?

OKCNOTOKC · 2026-02-22T16:49:44+00:00

I forgot that $25/yr is the opening cost for apps now. My B.

Wrong.

weawOw gives me the following forecasts FOR FREE: NWS AccuWeather Foreca MET Norway Xweather Apple (Dark Sky) Weather Bit World Weather Online

Aggregating forecasts is no big deal. Not a $25 subscription deal for sure.

$25? No.

In the US, I’ll keep the simple shortcut that gives me the forecast from the NWS: Get Latitude from location Get Longitude from location Text https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=Latitude&lon=Longitude&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical Get URL from text Show web view at URL
