About Meteogram Weather Widget

Meteogram Widget - Free and Donate version

Meteogram widget is a meteogram weather app showing the weather in a very detailed way at a glance on your home screen. The app comes in a free and a donate version (Google Play: http://goo.gl/HbxHGx). Support us by buying the donate version, offering some extra features (e.g. 10 day long term forecast, sunrise and sunset indication, show moon phase...). Besides those extra features, the app is more regularly updated.


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.

Love the lay out kinda.. Graphics are great .. Wind speed and direction not even close.. Have no idea where it collects this data.. The weather is always showing 3 hrs in advance thus ya really don't know the weather for 4 hrs out. Ex. At 7 it'll be updated in advance to 10 . so ya really only see what's to expect between 10 and 11 and there after.

coming back after a year, u still cant see when a day starts on your chart, had to take extra 3 seconds to figure out where is daytime where is night time(during which the weather idc)

Widget is too small to see any details.

I70%
by I####:

It hasn't refreshed for over 10 hours already though the refresh interval is every 4 hours. Wish for tapping to the timestamp at right upper corner to refresh it as a manual refresh button to fix this issue.

Sometimes I see aspect ratio changing with no reason. But that's the only issue I have found. Very accurate and very customizable!

D70%
by D####:

This is exactly what I needed. Two days at the glance of a graphic. Very useful before the weekend to determine if we can go boating.

J70%
by J####:

Been using the free version for a good while and decided to try the donate version, except it didn't work. Removed both to reinstall the free version and now that doesn't work either. A bit annoyed as I've paid for an app that doesn't work when before it was fine.

D70%
by D####:

Perfect but is there also a way to show which day it is? For example, when I choose the option to show more than 24 hours I'm not sure which day I'm currently on

Cool but cannot be placed on lock-screen unfortunately.

B70%
by B####:

This must be one of the best apps in regard to style, customization, functionality, and usefulness. I have heard it compared to Aix and I did try that widget to compare. To begin, Aix doesn't provide humidity or atmospheric pressure. Aix also doesn't allow the widget to be changed size-wise. So it forces it to be 1x4 instead of my much preferred 2x5 size that fits my entire screen. Customizing the color schemes and what information is present is a wonderful feature. Highly recommended app.

X70%
by X####:

Looks good; but has a severe bug in that timelines appears to be out by 1hr (compared to official met) rendering it useless in Switzerland. If resolved then 5*

Excellent Metrogram app. Custom settings, clear presentation, minimal battery and CPU usage, plus reliable customer support. Stands out far above similar apps. Highly recommend.

No lite version. Forces you to buy full package.

This review got cancelled accidentally, here it is again. ORIGINAL: Does what it says but it's a direct clone of Aix Weather which has been around for much longer. No added value for switching. DEVELOPER RESPONSE: Hi Shadi. Thanks for your review and it's a pity that you do not like the app (even while the app offers some features like extra weather forecast elements, and the Donate version offers even more things like notifications, a forecast overview, ...). Anyway, thanks for your review and perhaps I see you back.

As a rule, I do not purchase paid versions of apps. I am a utilitarian with thick Linux roots and tend to live the GPL lifestyle. That said, I am proud to support developers who I feel bring true utility to the table. This widget does just that and after serving me well over several years I am proud to support Benny's efforts via the donate version. Thank you, sir. Well deserved!

Intuitive and to the point. Weather forecast with one look. I would only prefer a different way to read wind direction. Something with 'arrows' maybe.

Bring back the barbs. It's hard to tell what the wind speed is without them.

Doesn't scale well

Widget is blacked out with loading... in top left corner. Had been working fine for the past few days. Phone Restart or app force close does not fix problem. Samsung S6

I love this widget! 5 stars! I have two recommendations and one gripe. It would be nice if you could scroll to the side to reveal more days and/or also if there was a 4x3 and 4x4 option. My gripe is I wish it showed the percentage of precipitation for each day instead of the amount in mm or in. I think those two things would make this the best weather widget ever.

Pretty outstanding widget, full of information and very customisable. Only issue I have is that the time marks on the bottom axis do not seem to follow my local time zone.

Problem with time zone...could be great...

Good widget, but I prefer Aix.

I appreciate the dev response, but I'm still seeing problems. When creating new widget it sometimes gets stuck on loading message. Widget display doesn't always update after making settings changes, EVEN AFTER CLICKING THE SAVE BUTTON! I see this about half the time! Floating save and cancel buttons would be nice rather than having to remember to scroll to bottom, or maybe just an auto save when clicking back button? It would also be nice if the graph dimensions would automatically expand when using long tap and moving the widget edges to resize on home screen rather than having to change the widget settings.

O70%
by O####:

AIX weather I've used for years. it's very light no ads and don't use much data. This is a simple copy of it, but it doesn't even use the whole space available for the widget, very thick borders are waste when the widget could be bigger and easier to read. Weather outside now is +3, but widget tells - 6.6! No point keep using.

Z70%
by Z####:

As weather apps go, this is the only one I use. It is accurate, simple, clear, configurable, you name it. ART stable - using on Android 5.0.1 now, and ART enabled 4.4.4. Only issue I have, and it's nit-pickey, is that it doesn't handle resize on rotation well. No big deal. Awesome work, Dev!

The Meteogram Weather app (simplicus) is much better if all you want is a meteogram. Also highly recommended is Meteogram weather app & widget (cloud3squared). Those apps are much better than this one.

After phone startup, note 4, widget is sometimes all black and stuck on loading message. Dev is looking into it, great! Besides this minor glitch this is a top notch meteogram!
