“Straight from the experts at NOAA”... but through a platform/app not affiliated with them in any way.

I find apps that use that kind of marketing to make it sound like they are associated with the big agency they yank the data from to be really sleazy.

I don’t see the problem - I didn’t read it as “we have NOAA experts working for us” but as “we are sharing data from the experts at…”. I think sleazy is… unkind - especially reaching that conclusion from just one line in a description.
