Description
Perhaps you work in a windowless like me, or perhaps you're a weather geek who always wants to know what the current temperature is, or maybe you're looking out the window saying "I wonder how cold it is out there?". This app fills a niche in the weather category by giving you current temperature and weather conditions for your location. It does so subtly, in the background, using webOS notifications and dashboards to keep you informed. It updates periodically as your location and conditions change, displaying the current conditions and a brief report of temperature, wind and humidity.
Revision log:0.0.8
- Minor fix for webOS 1.4 oddity - app now opens a card first
0.0.7
- App does not expire
- Improved error handling in reverse geocoding
- Removed wind and humidity from dashboard for a cleaner look
- Added wind chill to card view
- Better metric conversions
- General code improvements
0.0.6
- Improved error handling -- now all errors are handled using dashboards and cards, not popups, for a more seamless/less intrusive presentation.
- Error messages may be tapped to get a more verbose explanation.
- Added a help screen to display key information, and an option to email it to WeatherNow support.
0.0.5
- Added the ability to set your location manually and skip the GPS and reverse location lookup. This takes a little more effort on the part of the user, but runs faster, uses less battery, doesn't rely on location services, and allows those for whom Google's location services isn't returning the valid data to still get their weather.
- Added country to weather lookup to support users outside of the U.S
- Converts wind speed to meters per second for metric users
- Added high and low temperature forecast to the card view
- Added a popup message when Google returns an invalid address (still not ideal, but less ambiguous when errors occur)
- Fixed the way the icon looks in universal search
- Simplified the way alarms are set (15 minutes means 15 minutes, it no longer adjusts that based on the age of the weather data)
- Minor code improvements
0.0.4
- Better error handling (no longer appears to hang when GPS is disabled)
- Added configurable update frequencies
- Added ability to report in Celsius and Fahrenheit
- Added ability to run in the background even after the dashboard has been closed
- Added configurable preference for displaying wind and humidity
- Added application menu with preferences and support information
