I am a student who needs to submit a contribution to the Open source project GitHub at university. I found this project and tried using the app provided. It was a great app , but I would like to contact you about adding a feature. I want to add Korean function in Android app, so that Koreans can easily recognize it. Would you like to translate the Android app into Korean? I can send examples of Korean translations for words used in the app.

I get this error message increasingly frequently the past few months. My educated guess is so many people now use this app that you are hitting the limit of your api requests at OWM. If this is so, maybe have multiple api keys stored in the code and select one at random for each api start?

Dear developer:

Hello! I am the creator of issue #601, and I have fixed the display issues I mentioned before. Because there are too many strings on this page and I do not want to remodel the XML structure too much, so I used "dp" instead. I would genuinely appreciate it if you could kindly revise my code and leave me some advice. Thank you so much for your precious time!

Here are the screenshots after my changes:

Thanks again! Blessings on your day! :)

Hello,

one of my principal concern when using a weather forecast app is the ability to see rain forecast. Forecastie is pretty good for that, as it displays a chart with rain forecast for the next 5 days. However some things bother me with this feature. Here is a screenshot so we can talk about it more easily (pardon my French!).

• The Y-axis is not precise: we do not know if the units are in mm or in inches, and the 1 is not aligned with any dotted line. To be clear: I don't require knowing exactly if it's going to rain 1mm or 1,3mm (as it would be pretty useless and inaccurate anyway), but I think it just looks bad that way.
• The X-axis is also not very precise: we can't really see precisely when does a day start or ends. So we do not know if it's more likely to rain in the morning or in the evening.
• This feature is not "easily" accessible: one has to open the app (this data is not showed in widgets), open the top-right menu, select "Charts" and scroll down the page.

One app that I've been using for the last few months is "La Chaine Meteo", which can display rain forecast hour-by-hour. You can see it on their website, if you click on "Heure par heure +" next to "DE 9H À 12H" or "CET APRÈS-MIDI" or "CE SOIR" or "CETTE NUIT" (scroll past the video).

I eventually stopped using that app because it contains trackers, advertisements, is cluttered with too many menus and views, and a lot of BS. Very different from Forecastie :) but I do think that some of their ideas could be implemented in Forecastie. I know OpenWeatherApp has this data, if you go for example here, then "Chart" and then "Precipitation".

So anyway, what I'm saying is, I would like to be able to access rain forecast more easily (integrated in some way in existing or new widgets for instance, and/or within its own menu) and more precisely (maybe adding textual table data below the graph).

Thank you for the great work on this app anyway :)

Hi, I'm sending a pull request with the solution I found for this issue. I check if it is the first application run and display the message "Tap for Graphs", and fix bug on search for city.

A user of Forecastie, who has since uninstalled it (due to inaccurate wind forecast predictions), told me yesterday they could not read anything useful from the graphs, as the x-scale was too small. Particularly on an average-sized smartphone, we cram a lot of information into a small number of millimetres. On my Galaxy S3, the entire chart is only around 60mm wide, into which we put 40 values - 8 per day, for 5 days.

I wonder whether we offer an option to make the graph show a different scale on the x-axis? Perhaps one day or two.

This is mostly a problem for the temperature scale, as that value often varies a lot from day to night, every day.

Yes, we could tell the user to look at the individual values on the Today/Tomorrow/Later cards, but a graph is a very useful way to view and understand change over time, a list of numbers is very abstract and hard to relate to. I have an unsubstantiated feeling that a number of our users go straight to the graphs. I recall one suggested here that we have an option for the graphs to be the "main" screen, with the numbers behind a menu.

Programmatically, I think this is a fairly simple thing to do, maybe even as easy as tying one number to a control which switches between 2 and 5 days forecast.

On the widget translated in French :

1. In French, there is an unbreakable space before the char ":" a. Pression: --> Pression : b. Humidité: --> Humidité : c. ...
2. There is a remaining "\n" which is not interpreted and displayed before "Dernière mise à jour".

Play Store Version is strongly outdatet. There is still the "location defaults back to London" bug. Please update.

(My Work Phone is restricted, no unknown sources no root..... So i'm forced to use play store.)

I don't have any maps on my new phone. I don't think it is a big deal because I don't really use the maps feature. I am using a new phone configured the same as my older phone but have jumped from Android 8 to 10.

I have applied the Universal Android Debloater on both of my phones if that is of interest.

A notification would be very useful. Something similar to Weather Notification would be great in terms of appearance and functionality. I particularily like the mini-forcast in the drawer. Thanks for any consideration.

See screenshot. With portrait orientation, the Android virtual keys are over the bottom button bar.

Also, the top title bar is empty.

I notice now that the whole app does not have a title bar; I am not sure if this is a recent change. I think this could be related.

I have my length units set to inches. I noticed this morning that the rain amounts reported by Forecastie were impossibly high: 3.16 inches for the current conditions, 13.69 inches forecast for 2 hours later.

Upon switching the length unit back to the default millimeters, I saw almost identical numbers but with the unit label switched (which resulted in much more realistic measurements): 3.2 mm for the current conditions, 13.7 mm forecast for 2 hours later.

It seems that Forecastie is not actually converting millimeters to inches when the length unit setting is changed (but perhaps there is different rounding behaviour being applied to account for the slight change in the numbers). It only swaps the unit label.

The rain graph is not affected by this. When inches are selected, the y-axis was labeled 0 at the bottom and 1 at the top. The first bar was about halfway up the axis, which makes sense for a forecast of ~13mm aka ~0.5in.

Hello, the app is wonderful. I use it to keep track of the weather on another country, however the widget displays the time where I am, not the time at the location I selected. Is it possible to implement the matching time? I use the widget to keep up with family, and daylight savings means the time difference isn't consistent throughout the year. Thank you!

Hi. I have a feature suggestion for Forecastie that may be too ambitious. I would love to access historical data of past weather events over the span of a year or multiple years. To view this data represented on a graph with a resolution of perhaps day or weekly basis.

Weather prediction is important, but past weather events are fascinating. It would be lovely to see at a glance the rainiest or windiest day from the previous year.

If the issue with this is the limited amount of API calls available, perhaps some compromise could be made? Such as downloading the data slowly over time (since the data is not dynamic). I am fascinated to learn about past weather events, I think Forecastie or a spin-off app would be perfect to represent this data in neat form.

In the current version of the application, if you looked at the forecast for a place other than the current location, the forecast of the found place will also be displayed on the notification drawer (not the current location, as the user expects).
