About MyObservatory (我的天文台)
The “MyObservatory” is one of the most popular weather app providing location-specific weather service in Hong Kong. If permission is granted to determine user’s location, temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind direction and speed, as well as weather photograph collected from nearby weather stations will be displayed. “My Location Settings” is introduced since version 4.0.0. In the “My Location Settings”, users can opt for using the automatic location service provided by the smartphone, or designating “My Location” on the map themselves. This location will be displayed on the main page and in “My Weather Report”. The meteorological data displayed on the same page is provided by meteorological stations nearby, and is not necessarily from a station in the same region. In case meteorological data is not available from nearby stations, data from other meteorological stations at headquarter of the Observatory, King’s Park, and Star Ferry will be used instead. Meanwhile, “Hong Kong Observatory” will be used as “My Location”.
Please note that:
1. Although the “MyObservatory” is a free app, user will be charged by their mobile network service provider on the use of data service. These charges can become very expensive on roaming. Please ensure that the option of “Data Roaming” have been disabled in the settings of your mobile devices. Meanwhile, the app requires user’s authorization on: “full network access”, “view network connections”, “view Wi-Fi connections” to download weather data over the Internet.
2. The estimated location provided by the mobile device may be deviated from your actual location. Meanwhile, owing to the dissimilarity in altitude and topography between user’s location and weather station, weather information displayed may be different from the actual conditions.
3. Use of location-based rain forecast notification will increase the battery usage and data download.
4. To allow user to get hold to important weather information such as weather warning, Special Weather Tips, location-based rain forecast, etc., the “MyObservatory” would automatically notify users the above information according to user’s settings. This feature requires user’s authorization on “run at startup”.

The app gives the info that is needed. Minor thing is that it drains battery a lot after previous update 4.9.1.Hope the new update 4.9.2 will be better.

Crashed and failed to reorder places. Very slow development. Lack of weather alert info in the default notification. Lack of typhoon finding alert which is important to citizen. Lack of wind info widget. Poor main screen, old-fashion menu driven design and old widgets, as if distributing info that make you busy on operating this app rather ready reading in a simple multiple lines chart with easy switching daily and hourly forecast.

Function wise it's ok, design wise it's about 5 year behind and completely doesn't follow the updating of android. Notifications look out of place and just link to home page not relevant section. Warning notifications also should have an option to be made permenant.

It is really bad. It takes lots of storage. Radar images & rain fall distribution chart not working! The MY WEATHER of the HK Observatory website is even better than the Apps! Even though it is a free Apps, it doesnt have to be BAD!

"Back" button operates as if it was a browser. You can almost press back infinitely and it keeps going to different pages. Please fix back button. When you tap on notifications about latest weather updates in your area (ie, storm coming to your area), it usually takes you to the observatory app home screen, not the summary of the notification you tapped. Notifications get messed when multiple of them get compressed, and the content gets messed. This only seems to happen in Nougat (Using a Galaxy S7).

Nice app, push notification of rain and strong wind working accurately. But unable to show the notification on Android Wear 2.0, only the app logo is shown but no words there

Not bad, but not great either. It consistently fails to push notifications for rain and typhoon signals unless I open the app.

I think that some of the problems I have with It IS that in storm track I can't zoom all the way in with the nap, and sometimes it just randomly stops working and shuts down itself.

I keep getting notifications that just say "chinese content only". No option to disable this without removing the weather notifications i downloaded the app for in the first place.

苖柏都離開香港超過四天,但仍然post在《風暴路徑》頁內,作為天氣回顧? 我哋期望天文台係天氣預告,往往都是及時嘅天氣報告,依家更淪為天氣回顧。

Since the last update it displays notifications I'm not even remotely interested in and it's not even in a language I can read. Furthermore I can't find a setting to disable it. Sorry guys, but that's unacceptable!
