Fantastic :clap:

Works very well on my brand new Samsung Galaxy S2 !

Q - If i set it to update, say every minute ! how much data (kb etc ) does it use, just wondered how much of my allowance would be used up.

Possible change request - compass points NW and NE are fine, can you turn around SE and SW as they appear sort of back to front ?

Are animations possibley with these gadgets/apps ? - how about raingauge filling up. therm going up and down etc

Anyway, dam good effort !

I like it too. Couple of issues with it - the widget is too big for the amount of info shown, and the rainfall values at the bottom of 'Today' are reversed in relation to the labels.

I don't get a red bug to show where the wind direction is! Swizz! ;)

Image

Apart from that it's fine, my first 24 hours of data isn't quite in yet so maybe that lot will show up later too! :?

Nice app - keep it coming! :)

UPDATE: the other data was there, but I had to swipe the screen across to find it! :clap:

However still no red bug for wind direction! I'll be really happy when that bit works as it should too!
Cheers,
Ian

I get the red wind direction indicator just fine.
I see your average wind speed shows zero, so no direction can be assigned. Are you still lacking the 'bug' with average speeds other than zero?

Not sure whether the developer still has any interest - I mentioned the rainfall label bug to him months ago.

DOH! Never thought about that, sort of assumed it'd show last known or something like that, but yeah, it makes sense. :oops:

Might be a day or so before we see any wind from what the shipping forecast said a couple of hours ago.

Thanks for the pointer!

Hope the dev picks this up again, it is looking pretty useful.
Cheers,
Ian

I have just installed version 2.0 and have the same problem. Can anyone point me to a copy of the old realtime.xml and I will give it a try.

Hi,

I am also searching for an old version of realtime.xml.
Wil someone please post one

thanks

Awesome app!!

For the next version perhaps include Heat Index in the detail screen? There is Wind Chill but no Heat Index. Perhaps current temperature trend as well? (±Xº/hr)

Found a bug in the latest version. Using the latest XML file a well. It seems Rainfall/hour and Rainfall are mixed. (It shows rain in the last hour where it says Rainfall, and it shows rain today where it says Rainfall). Provided screenshots as well.

That's the bug I reported back on 26 July. Notified the developer some time before that, but no action so far....

It's kind of a shame that this app isn't being supported/developed any further. Has great potential.

Do I need to use the old realtime.xml file to make the new version function?

It's a shame that this app is no longer supported/developed as it shows lots of potential.

Can anyone tell me whether I need to use the old realtime.xml with the newer app in order to have a functional setup? I see in here that the last several posts are people asking for the old XML file.

Thanks in advance.

I just opened mine in Notepad and it says "xml version 1.0". Everything works fine except Todays' Rainfall and rain Rate are reversed.
I would edit it, but I don't trust myself.
