About Meteogram Widget - Donate

The app: the weather at a glance on your home screen

Meteogram widget is a weather app showing the weather in a very detailed way at a glance on your home screen. While a lot of weather apps are showing the weather forecast in a rather basic way, this app does that by visualizing the forecast in a so-called meteogram. Doing so gives the user a much better idea of when exactly rain will fall, the sun will be shining, when it will become cloudy...

The main focus of the app consists in showing the meteogram on a small home screen widget (e.g. a 4X1 widget). Even while the widget does not occupy that much space on the home screen, it still manages showing the forecast in a very clear way. Simply add a widget on your home screen, specify your location (or let the widget automatically determine your location) and the weather forecast appears on your home screen.

The meteogram shows the temperature and expected precipitation for the whole forecast period. Besides those typical weather elements, the wind speed, wind direction and air pressure can also be visualized. The user has all freedom to determine how the meteogram should look like: a great set of configuration settings allows the user to customize the widget completely to his own needs.

Weather forecast data

All thanks to MET.NO (The Norwegian Meteorological Institute) for offering the weather forecast data. For a lot of European countries hourly forecast data is available, while for other countries 3 hourly data is available. For the long term forecast period, one of the best weather models - ECMWF - is used.

NOTE: for locations in the United States, NOAA is also offered as short term weather provider.

NOTE: the weather provider Forecast.IO can be bought as in-app subscription. It offers worldwide hourly forecast data for the short term.

Bunch of graphics without a reference value to them. How do I know the cloud ceiling? Wind and gusty wind's speed? Not helpful for pilots...

On the latest version, I have a bug that happens multiple times a day: the widget freezes saying "Updating..." but never updates anything until I go to settings and click on Save, theb the data is re-fetched and shown. This is really annoying. I'm using the Donate version and the paid (subscription) weather provider. I can send a logcat if necessary. How else can I help fix this? Thanks!

Black screen with - loading..... I think I will refund my purchase

N70%

This is by far the best weather widget out there.

Like it. Very informative for hourly and long term forecast.

Widget : black screen with "loading" message ...

C70%
by C####:

For some reason the first day on the display is the day after tomorrow, so you still need to check another resource for your immediate forecast. Also you cannot tailor the number of days on the widget. Has difficult sizing controls.

F70%
by F####:

There are other apps and widgets but this provides all the information I want and it is highly configurable.

B70%
by B####:

Just installed it on nougat. The free works great, but can't get the paid option to appear. If i open the paid app, i go through three swipes/pages, and nothing happens after that

One of the most precise weather apps Thanks to the short predictions

L70%
by L####:

Exactly what I wanted! Simple and efficient. Thanks

L70%
by L####:

Naming of current location not as good as competing apps. It only says 'current location'. Also a background gradient for day/night would be nice. Thank you.

R70%
by R####:

All that I need and it looks great after a bit of tinkering with the many tweaks available in the app.

G70%
by G####:

Since last update widget will not load after restart or turn off. Annoying. Still one off the best but not my default at the moment. Galaxy note 4 upto date.

R70%
by R####:

Could be even more perfect if there was a tap field that opens a selectable weather app to check more details. Location selection of short and long term widget could be linked - or if I could switch between short and long-term in the same widget, it would be very smart!

From a Dev that cares. A awesome update again.☺wow!!!!! Great update.

F70%

Really nice app. I've been looking for a meteogram style app that uses NOAA forecasts. Would be 5 stars if the NOAA forecast was accurate though. For example, the app gives the 5 day high temperature forecast as: 71 | 73 | 72 | 76 | 72 and the actual NWS forecast is 72 | 74 | 77 | 80 | 75. In some cases its more than 5 degrees off.

No longer shows anything more than a dark rectangle. Uninstalled.

M70%

It's Simply The Best! Great app that does what it says on the tin.

O70%
by O####:

When configured correctly this app gives you an accurate idea of what to expect during the day. It doesn't matter if rains while you are at work but it does matter if it rains when you are going and returning to/from work. This widget tells you with great confidence the likelihood of having rain.

This is by far the best weather widget out there. A couple of small issues - we just switched to winter time here in Germany and widget is still in summer time, so everything is off by 1hr. Also, temp line should be top overlay so cloud background doesn't blend over it, reducing temp line color saturation. Small issues though! Thanks :)

Fair price. Thanks.

I don't always buy upgrade features for apps I find satisfactorily useful in free form, but when I do it is because the app has proven itself beyond any doubt. I feel privileged to reward the developer with my praise and patronage!

A70%
by A####:

After switching from free to donate version of this app, I found it more versatile with more options and of course more info. After initial problem getting the donate version, followed the prompts and now all is well. Well done!

K70%
by K####:

Very clear and easy to read at a glance. Just curious why it only updates twice every 24 hours? The graph moves add expected, but the last updated time is always around 3am or 3pm. So sometimes the forecast is out of date and not so accurate. EDIT: Thanks for the response!

U70%
by U####:

I'd prefer to see the name of the current location. Also resizing of the widget could work better.

X70%

Very good looking overall, Very accurate weather forecast, and easy to configure. Highly recommended.

X70%
by X####:

With this widget, you don't need any other weather apps (only maybe Windfinder if you are into sailing and need more wind details). Because the options are so detailed it would be nice to be able to have the live preview while configuring...

F70%

It need to a while to understand what it means, but after understood - it's so good weather widget ever!

F70%
by F####:

My home screen is now dominated by two meteograms. One for 2 days and I've got the next 5.looks good, works a treat and very configurable.

Could be even more perfect if there was a tap field that opens a selectable weather app to check more details. Location selection of short and long term widget could be linked - or if I could switch between short and long-term in the same widget, it would be very smart!

Good info at a glance on your screen. Very detailed and full of information. I'm using it on a Nexus 5 device with Android 6.0. It works very well.

One of most used apps

X70%

I cannot tell you how long I've looked for something like this, just a by-the-hour chart of temp and precipitation. The fact that it can do so much more, and with no ads, AND without permanently clogging up my status bar is wonderful.

A70%
by A####:

One of my top widget that everyone should install. Professional support is also best in class.

J70%
by J####:

By far the best widget to see the days conditions at a glance!

X70%

The best in its class

X70%

confusing to set-up set aside some time to figure it out.

B70%
by B####:

One of the best weather widgets offering a customizable meteogram. Grab it now ;)

N70%
by N####:

The update time is always stack on 10:05. Other than that, a few things you might consider adding as options: 1. A wind speed scale on the right, next to direction, 2. Show the moon phase on the chart in night times, instead of a full moon, 3. A manual update button, 4. The ability for the chart to scale up when the size of the widget gets bigger.
