Title: Android Phone and Tablet Widgets using clientraw.txt from your website
Post by: choc-a-holic on September 09, 2012, 04:08:19 PM

Found this - Weather Personal Widget - free android widget which I have been using on my phone for the last week - thought some of you might find it of interest - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.ludg.android.weatherwidget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNhLmx1ZGcuYW5kcm9pZC53ZWF0aGVyd2lkZ2V0Il0 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.ludg.android.weatherwidget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNhLmx1ZGcuYW5kcm9pZC53ZWF0aGVyd2lkZ2V0Il0)

My partner has been using Personel Weather Station Widget until I found the one above - it looks nicer than the one above but has less information - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gpap.myweath&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5ncGFwLm15d2VhdGgiXQ..

There is also Weather Watch Widget which you can demo but need to buy for long term use -https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.autumnit.android.weather.widget.Paid&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInVrLmF1dHVtbml0LmFuZHJvaWQud2VhdGhlci53aWRnZXQuUGFpZCJd (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.autumnit.android.weather.widget.Paid&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInVrLmF1dHVtbml0LmFuZHJvaWQud2VhdGhlci53aWRnZXQuUGFpZCJd)

I have the Weatherwatch widget on my tablet - but for an app I would highly recommend WeatherView
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.wellingtonweather&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvLnVrLndlbGxpbmd0b253ZWF0aGVyIl0. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.uk.wellingtonweather&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvLnVrLndlbGxpbmd0b253ZWF0aGVyIl0.)

It uses the clientraw and is the only one that can use a wxsim forecast from a station. The free version is all the average user needs, the elite (paid) version is for station owners so that they can have their stations data/forecasts included in the app.

That looks like a good one too...lots of features but way more than I am looking for on my phone. It takes up a little more screen real estate than the one I am using.  It also uses a lot more space (9.6mb versus 112k) for those more space conscious.  Oh and if you want to display your own weather station then you need to buy the elite version.  Once you have purchased the elite version I understand that those using the free version will be able to see you weather station details.
