About Weather Watch Widget - Demo
** NOTE: this is not an app, it's a WIDGET. Long click a free spot on your home screen to add this WIDGET **
** Also note: the free version of this widget expires after 2 weeks **
This is a simple widget that searches for and shows weather from the nearest available Weather Display compatible weather station using your devices
location, or you can choose a weather station from a list.
You can also configure the widget to point it to your own (or someone else's) weather station if you know the URL to the clientraw.txt file that the Weather
Display software provides.
The database of weather stations it uses is based on the ones found here: http://www.weather-watch.com/links/Weather-Stations/
Update frequency is configurable to 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Or you can turn the scheduled update off. You can also you set an option to show the
current temperature, wind speed in the Android notification bar, as well as showing a rain icon if rain is detected.
Underneath the 'weather description' line, the widget shows a series of up to 6 weather measurements (rain today, average windspeed in last 10 minutes, max
gust in last hour, humidity, pressure, dew point temperature, indoor temperature). These can be individually turned on or off. There is only space for 2 per
line though.
Temperature units are configurable to Celsius or Fahrenheit. Wind units can be knots, mph, kph, m/s. Humidity is displayed as a percentage figure. Pressure
can be displayed in inches or millibars. Rain Units are configurable to mm or inches. Daily min/max temperature can also be shown in very small text next to
the main temperature value.
The widget also shows a wind direction indicator (a white arrow) which points in the direction the wind is going (up for north). The arrow gets thicker if
windspeed increases.
A red up arrow is shown to the right of the temperature reading if the temperature is going up (in the last hour), or a blue down arrow is shown if it's
going down. A green arrow can be shown next to the rainfall value indicating air pressure tendency (up or down).
The widget background can be changed to either black, transparent, semi transparent, a cloud or a dynamic 10 hour graph of temperature, rain, pressure or wind.

Before leaving negative feed back you need to understand what this app is used for! It is for personal weather station if you don't own one and run weather display software this will not work for you, unless your happy with a location included with the software. All the locations listed in this software are provided from owners of weather websites providing the developer with the location of the data file for that particular station. If you don't understand then don't rate because this is the best widget out there of it's kind make note I said OF IT'S KIND which means if you don't understand it then don't rate it. The developer should not suffer here because most people here have no idea what this program does.

This widget has a nice look to it but needs WAY more weather stations! None in Ohio? None in Michigan? Closest one to where I am in Ohio was in Kentucky, which for some reason had TWO stations, but the readings from there had temps about 8 degrees warmer than where I live. wth?? At least this is offered as a demo so i didn't waste $, I'll give the devs that much ....

Large version is still very small on a average smart phone. Demo very short. 3 days? Come on guys... Graphics lacking to say the least. Good idea buts needs a lot of development before its worth paying for.

Nice layout. But location was nowhere near where I live. So not accurate for me. Still would be great if it did pick up correct location

Would be nice if it could default to the unit of measure of the country you are in even if its a free version. Totally useless to those in usa

I tried this widget to display the data from my home weather station that uses Weather Display. It works great and is fairly easy to setup if you have your Weather Display software set up correctly with clientraw.txt. But I did not keep the widget because it is absolutely UGLY even hideous on my new Galaxy S4. Please work on making it look better. I much prefer the looks of the Weather Personal wigithingy and it works almost as good as this one and it's free. I would gladly pay for this one if it looked b

Seems to be missing icons, as I have a black blob under the data, and I can not access the map to select a station, it is greyed out, even if I hit the tick box. An d the nearest station in the pulldown list is hundreds of miles from me...
