are you seeing something similar to the last screenshot in the OP? (or in the play store). if so make sure that you pull down on the notification to expand it (1 finger/2 finger swipe). Android expands the top notification automatically for you and collapses the rest. you will need to expand the notification yourself if you want to see the full 4 day forecast.

There are two different timestamps shown: One in the collapsed view and another in the expanded view.

The time stamp in the collapsed view (second screenshot of Moscow) shows 18:53. This is the time that the app woke up and checked the weather. This is provided by the android system.

The time stamp in the expanded view (first screenshot of Moscow) shows 1:58 AM. This is the time that is reported by the server and signifies the time of the weather observation. You can think of it as it was 5 degrees in Moscow as of 1:58 AM (hence the 'As of'). This time is also reported in the local time of the city, not the user's local time. For major cities yahoo updates the data every hour, for smaller towns it's not as often.

First thing is the one or two finger swipe don't work. But the one and two finger swipe does work for my gmail notification.

The timestamp thing will confuse a lot of people which will get you a lot of bad reviews on the market.

No such problem with previous ver. I agree with swiping two fingers feature
[Android Apps and Games] gunswick:
I bought Pro - its awesome!

+ Please add "accuweather" as a provider - they are consistently the most accurate in my experience in the UK.

+ Please add a refresh upon screen on option, so that I can choose for it to refresh ONLY when I turn the phone on (i.e. no timed sync) or whenever I turn the screen on AND using the timed sync

+ allow others colours for the text using a colour wheel or the big square HEX colour chooser some apps use

+ different symbols for night vs day would be good too (i.e. moon and cloud at night time instead of sun and cloud)

* Also the pro version has a bug where the time at 00:15 shows as 24:15 - weirdly I think the free version does not have this error.

the time at midnight to 01:00 should show as 00:xx rather than 24:xx

I'm currently analysing which providers to add next. Accuweather is one of them. no ETA yet.

Day/night symbols are determined by the provider (YAHOO) if supported or at 7 AM/PM for those that don't have sunrise/sunset data.

I also noticed the 24:15 bug. it's aleardy fixed and will be release soon.

[Android Apps and Games] orbar:
When you select the 'No icon' option your priority settings is being overridden to Minimum. this means that the notification is most likely no longer the top 1. Android expands the top notification and collapses all the rest. Try to expand it with 2 fingers.

No, the temperature in the notification bar is an icon (picture) so it can't be changed on the fly. I will however change it to Roboto when I have time.

Re: [App][4.1+]Notification Weather[Nov 10][v0.7]

Great app, went with pro since this could be great. Couple questions/suggestions: Anyway of keeping it in the ongoing section? Whenever a new notification pops up, the app falls down to notifications.

Also would be great if the progress bar when refreshing is changed to fit the minimalistic nature of the app. Something like a white bead of light bouncing back and forth.

Oh and, small thing but for future users: since Free and Pro are actually 2 separate apps, would be great to turn the Pro version in license both IAP or on the Play Store. Not a big thing, but appreciated.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Android Apps and Games] orbar:
Hi,

The position of the notification by the priority assigned to the priority, and by the age of the notification. so if a newer notification of equal or higher priority is posted then, older ones will move down.

Design Issues

Hello,

I'm a great fan of your app and bought it within the first 10min of trying out the free one... but my play store ratings never seemed to be recognized, so i'm now writing here in detail...

unfortunately i'm not able to take screenshots of the notification list via powermenu (CM10), otherwise i would have provided you with some annotations and a comparison of free/pro... if you need them, i'd take photos, if necessary...

The overall design of the app is wonderful, but there are some major flaws, that should be easy to correct:

1.) i find the refresh-"icon" (there's no optical indicator, so you can't even call it button, although you have to tap it) quite disturbing for the overall design, so i inactivated the pro app and still use the free one just to get rid of it. i'd prefer to have an option to refresh weather on tapping the notification instead of launching random program... :o

2.) on my 480p screen the left and right whitespaces have different sizes. so temperature is more pixels away from right screen edge than location from left screen edge. in pro app this is even heavier due to refresh-icon. :( also the weather icon seems not to be in the exact middle of the screen.

3.) the blue progress bar doesn't fit Holo Design either, since there's no progress, only a loading state. For this purpose a white loading circle would perform better also in aesthetic regards, no matter where it's placed ;)

4.) now that there are ads in the free app, i would really prefer using pro one instead... :crying:

so i really hope you get those points fixed somehow :)

thanks in advance and many :fingers-crossed: for the future of this great app! :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] orbar:
Hi,

Thanks for the very constructive post. I'll try to address your concerns as best as I can:

1. I'm still trying to find the best way to do the refresh, as I also don't like the button because it pushes everything to the left and throws of the symmetry of the free version. I'm thinking of getting rid of the refresh button and setting the condition icon to act as the refresh button, although that is "less discoverable". BTW, the idea is to open another weather app, like accuweather, to get more detailed info, like hour by hour breakdown of the weather.

2. I do almost all of my testing on my galaxy nexus, which is xhdpi, so I'm not sure what exactly you are seeing. The distance from the left edge and the right edge is supposed to be the same but I'll take a look in an emulator. the weather Icon is in the middle of the city name and the current temperature, so the refresh icon pushes it off centre a bit

3. The progress bar definitely fits the Holo design guidelines. In fact, it is taken directly from the system. I would like to make it white though but I still haven't found a way to do that.

4. I know nobody likes ads but they due serve a purpose.

have a good day
[Android Apps and Games] Lawliet:
Whilst I appreciate the need to have ads in your app, having a full screen one that pops up every single time you launch the app is way too obnoxious. I was planning to buy the Pro version but seeing this in the free version is putting me off. May I suggest a banner ad at the bottom of the app instead?

thoughts on suggestions

hey and thanks for the appreciative reception of my feedback :)

1. you could implement that as an option: tap on notification either refreshes the weather or launches another program. i have beautiful widgets for additional weather forecast on homescreen and it totally satisfies my seldom needs to launch it from there if i want to. for me there's absolutely no need to access that redundantly from notifications :)

2. the distance definitely isn't the same, even without refresh-icon. and the weather-icon also is not in the exact middle of anything, neither the screen edges, nor position & temperature. i'd prefer to have it in the middle of the screen, because city names usually are longer than temperatures :) i think i'm going to take a screenshot, it should be possible somehow without the power menu :)

3. you are right, it's straight from the framework, but the progress bar is designed for progress indications, e.g. if you download 5MB, 1MB equals 20%. Waiting for a kind of short reply (e.g. a refresh) is usually indicated by the loading circle... and you can't change the color of the progress bar because that's the purpose of an optionally applied system-theme :) edit: just thought about the optimal position for a loading circle, perhaps left to the temperature could be very convenient...

4. i totally agree, i just wanted to inform you that i have to use the free app (and therefore be bugged by ads) just because of the way too huge wasted space on the right side of the pro app...

thanks in advance! i'm really looking forward to the optimizations, 'cause i love this app! :o
[Android Apps and Games] disadjusted:
screenshot

i finally managed to take a screenshot*...:

as you can see, there's some space & alignment distortion not only between the left & right side, but also between free & pro :p

* if anyone wonders, it's nothing easier than this: when pressing powermenu & screenshot, simply pull down the notification bar immediately afterwards, there's enough delay to capture the notifications...
[Android Apps and Games] orbar:
proposed change

I made a little change to the layout to address the symmetry issue of the pro version. What do you guys think?

The top notification restores the symmetry of the free version of the app by moving the refresh button to the other side of the temperatures

The bottom notification is the old way as it is in the store now.

the images are taken on a hdpi emulator and a xhdpi device

just some thoughts:

as you can see on this screenshot long location names get cut/split in 2 lines

(note: I'm on 240 dpi) fix pls if possible!

another thing is that divider line doesn't match the ics/jb android layout at all, a thin, simple line would be way better imo ;) here you have a 1weather screenshot as an idea.

Finally had time to address some of the concerns raised regarding the design of the notification, specifically the refresh button, and asymmetric layout issue.

Thank you, mate, it's so much better now. First time i really use the pro Version :)

Now that there's horizontal symmetry, might you please also care about vertical?

The 2 lines under city and temperature have different y-positions on the left and the right. know what i mean? on the right side they're a few pixels lower than on the left. if you can't reproduce it, drop me a message and i'll take a screenshot for you. hope you appreciate this feedback as well :)

Hi,

The Idea of the app is to have the most relevant weather information always be available to you while still being stylish and have minimal footprint.

If you are referring to Google Now, it only puts the current weather and condition in the notification, not the forecast. In fact, I don't know of any app that does the same, but I'm sure that there are apps that do the same
