I don't see a native option to close/shut down the app.
I don't see a screen explaining what the symbols mean.

You may want to add that.

The design is very good, I like it, but the app is constantly Updating. it never shows the weather, just updating and updating.. Can you check it?? And the code says it is already redeemed, can you send another one?

Hi. I have updated the link. It will work now Hopefully. If you are seeing the weather data, then it will not be updating it further. Thats a known bug.

If you have redeemed the code, you don't have to click or buy premium you have already access to premium features.

Which are the premium features?

Also if it's in premium mode then it should stop saying "Buy Premium"

Code for the premium version is already redeemed =/

I already have a 'problem'. I didn't let the app have my localisation and didn't gave it a manual one. But now it just endlessly try to update the informations. I can't seem to find where I can manualy input a localisation.

if you really want people to use it, make it better in someway.
i'm not suggesting doing your own weather model (cause, trust me, it's not simple). but add some feature that the others don't have.
the most common thing now is user reports... the weather models are 30k*30k at best. they don't always get the minute details...
you can add an option for reporting if it's sunny, if it's raining etc - the models aren't 100% accurate.

it's probably too much to code, but you asked for ideas ;)

No chance to deny Location permission and manually set your town?

Unfortunately not currently. But I will add this in the next update. Seems like a lot of people dont like to access Location permissions. This is helpful. Thank you.

I will give it a try, because it looks really nice. The coupon worked for me, now.
But it would be nice if family-sharing would be activated. That way my wife could test the app, too :)

EDIT:
Oh, and I almost forgot... Thank you very much for the Premium-Coupon! :) Thats really kind of you!

i already have a good weather app but took a look at yours the only thing i see that you might want to add if its not already in there in settings already is the ability to use "inHg" instead of "mb" for air pressure as "inHg" is more commonly used at least here in the usa:)

  • Clicked the part of the screen that was supposed to give me an hourly forecast - received a forecast for the street I live on (as opposed to the city I live in), which stated "Mostly cloudy starting tomorrow morning" 24 times, from 22:00 to the following 21:00. It seems nonsensical for the forecast of "Mostly cloudy starting tomorrow morning" to be considered applicable for every hour from near-midnight to near-midnight the next day. Also, it's unusual for a weather forecast to be as precise as a specific street (not even a significant street in my city, in my case). Also, throughout the 24-hour hourly forecast, visibility in my area is apparently "null km", which I can only assume is even less than "0 km". (No blizzards, sandstorms, or mass eyeballectomies are expected for my region, according to other forecast sources.)

  • "Time Machine" seems like an odd way to refer to "previous weather".

  • The "More Details" button on the main screen doesn't seem to do anything.

  • The circled plus-sign in the lower-right corner brings up a "Search" prompt, which is kind of a non-standard UI choice. Which is also a moot point, as entering anything (it seems to be limited to locations - is this meant to add additional cities for weather?) just produces a blank screen as a result.

  • The "7 Days Forecast" lists the days of the upcoming week as "00:00", "00:00", "Sunday", "Monday", "00:00", "00:00", "00:00", and "00:00".

Overall, I'd recommend focusing on better parsing of the data being pulled from Dark Sky and fixing the bugs in the UI before you try to add more features.

Gave it a try and the premium code worked in the Play store. (thanks for that!) But, I cannot tell what having premium changed or did for it. The app still has a spot to click "Buy Premium" which does nothing when selected.
I'm not a fan of apps having persistent notifications and running constantly. Good thing yours has the option to turn that off. Only problem there is that, it's already off by default, yet the notification is always there every time I start the app. Only by turning it on, then back off, does the notification go away. It's back again though, after force closing and starting the app another time.

The aesthetics look good, but I'll still have to see what it's really doing for me that the built in Samsung weather widget isn't.

Noted. I will remove the "Buy Premium" button once user has bought it.

The notification should not be there by default. I would definitely loook into it. Can you please provide your phone details like, make/model and Android version.

Thank you.

there are plenty of weather apps what is the difference? why would i need it?

edit: the topic you write is telling everything "Just another weather app" lol
edit2: take no offence mate, when designing something, designer must ask questions, define the problems, then create solution/product. so, writing in description of the app "best weather app" doesn't make it the best app. so, let me ask again, my phone has a stock app that is using accuweather's forecast w/o ads (in store page it says contains ads, but i've never seen any), w/ more info. why would i uninstall it. what is your offer?

The data in description on Google Play page is more the SEO/ASO thing. IF I was sure that my app is the BEST ONE. I wouldn't asked for users opinion, that is why I posted here, and the title says it all. It is just an ordinary weather app. I want to know form real users, what they really want in a weather so that, as I stated, I may improve it and make it worthy.

And no offense taken. :). I have posted in this forum because I know there are users like you who are using weather apps, I want to know from users like you what do you really want in you a weather app.

Let me ask you in this way. If you want your own weather app, what features and user experience you would like to have?
