[Android Apps and Games] :
Hi!

I'm liking this a lot. I have a request though:

Would it be possible to hide the top picture completely (not just disabling it's animation)? Just like what Today Weather offers.

Or, in the future, what would be nice is a real time graphic of the current weather, a bit like the OnePlus Weather app. But that would require a lot of asset drawing beforehand of course
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Hi, sorry but this feature will never be implemented because it will completely ruin the app UI.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:

Is it possible to add yyyy/mm/dd mode? Some asia countries use yyyy/mm/dd instead of dd/mm/yyyy.

Also, if I send you non-English speaking country's font(copyright free), could you apply it to widget? Font right now looks really bad in asian lanuage
[Android Apps and Games] GtrCraft:
The app stopped working today. Stuck on loading or "check your internet connection" warning. Already reinstalled and rebooted
[Android Apps and Games] Prof. Yaffle:
I've got the same
[Android Apps and Games] Zentori:
Any news about screensaver for using when tablet is docked? I would love to have that working and will go Pro if available without doubt.
[Android Apps and Games] cliffr39:
Any plans for future of the app now that Dark Sky was bought by Apple and will close their API next year? I was going to download it (I don't usually do free apps, so was going to purchase), but stopped with the price and limited time of the API support.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Nothing will change soon, we will continue to use Dark Sky till the API will work. Also, don't worry Overdrop already offers 3 different weather providers, Accuweather, WeatherBit and Dark Sky, so you can choose the best one for you
[Android Apps and Games] dis39tif:
I'm really loving the app and just purchased it. I've seen some other apps get from their data feed the amount of precipitation expected (heavy medium, light). Do you get this data and if so could you add it? I like knowing the percentage probability of precipitation but that helps me to know how much is coming. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Hi! Currently Overdrop doesn't offer such a feature, but is not excluded that in a future release we will add it to provide some other useful information. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] subquotidian:
Hello!

This is an amazing app, but there's a few features that would put it over the top for me.

1. Radar. You mentioned that it was coming, is there an approximate release date?

2. Ability to toggle what information is visible.

3. Hyper-local weather visible within app (eg, rain will stop in 7 minutes and begin again in 11 minutes)

4. API that is as good or better than Dark sky (by end of 2021, obviously it's not necessary now)
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
UPDATE v1.5.5.2

https://treetop100babynames.com/exotic-baby-names-boys

Overdrop becomes even more complete with the new weather radar!

Yes, it took ages but, finally it is available, and I hope you will enjoy it.
[Android Apps and Games] pRuben:
Pretty dang awesome UI/UX man. Love and support this development. I am currently using both overdrop and DS.

As others are chiming in, I am adding my 2c here, and I would love if you could implement weather alerts like the one in DS.

Just second ago DS alerted me of severe thunderstorm but OD didn't. Rain/Wind alerts would be amazing too.

Digging the minimalist interface and icons.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
I know that the rain alert is really requested, but adding this features would cost me a huge amount of money in order to pay the weather API. The reason is because in order to make the rain notification you need to check if there is an alert coming from the provider every minute, and making a call every minute for 24h will increase drastically the number of calls per day. Such a feature would be possible to add only for a high priced subscription, and people already don't like them, now imagine if it would cost 10$ per year. That's why this features is not there, hope you can understand my position.
[Android Apps and Games] bokusen:
Any plans on adding hourly UV index info? I love the design of your app, but lacking hourly UV index info is a deal breaker for me, especially in Summer.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Sorry but we are not plannig to add such a features since we didn't have enough request from users.
[Android Apps and Games] yule dee:
Overall this app is very good, with some drawbacks. Visually it's great, there's a ton of widgets to choose from, and the subscription is reasonably priced. Unfortunately the radar is virtually impossible to use for rain because it doesn't zoom in far enough and doesn't show anything but the bigges
[Android Apps and Games] bokusen:
Oh well....Anyway, thanks for replying!
[Android Apps and Games] sovanyio:
Apologies if this has been brought up (I did do a thread search and nothing obvious jumped out), but the single feature that would get me to pay for this is the graph widget from darksky. I am ok with low-resolution data (not minute by minute like darksky's), though would be a great future enhancement.

I just want a 4x1 widget that has the day's temperature and rain chances graphed out, so simple and elegant a display. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like anyone has implemented this on android other than dark sky..

Edit: The app has this on the main screen, so hopefully it is a quick thing to do :)
[Android Apps and Games] madman:
I have one feature request that can be useful.

Overdrop currently shows max UV Index for upcoming days and only current UV index for the today. I see that Dark Sky on website have a graph (like rain and temperature). Is is possible to have something like that besides Temperature, Wind, Rain graphs that are already present?

Of course I understand that this may be limited to if available from current provider in use.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
NEW VERSION AVAILABLE 1.6.0 BETA-3

In the last couple of months there were not a lof of significant updates because the Overdrop software engineer was busy studying for his University, but we are still here and finally we found some time to work on the app. We changed and improved many aspects of the app, to make it run smoother and faster, we made some changes based on users feedback collected here and on Google Play in order to achieve a better result. Hope you will like the new update.

What's new?

– Redesigned, information-rich weather radar.

– New onboarding interface.

– Replaced gifs with mp4, now the illustration animations run at 60fps with higher color quality.

– New theme: Realistic.

– Refined illustrations in Light and Space themes.

– Themes button moved to More Options.

– Revised Albanian, Chinese, Spanish, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, and Italian translations.

– Upgrade to Pro in notification settings now opens plan selection as the Pro Key has been discontinued.

Feel free to test it, and let us know how it works, thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] jm700wx:
Love the new realistic theme. Would like a dark version of the realistic theme that changes in conjunction with the system theme. Would also like to see hourly forecast for a few days in advance like the Google weather app does. For example, it's Wednesday and I would like to see Saturdays forecast on an hourly basis. For example, I'd like to know if it's going to rain at 11am or will it be sunny. Hope this helps. Overall I really love the app and I'm glad I paid for the premium version.
[Android Apps and Games] RockerAlex:
Can this apps Widgets update without GPS active? I think there might be a bug with it keeping Nova Launcher alive in the background ...
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Time to resurrect this thread. I hope you will be happy to know that after long time we are working on some big improvements under the hood and a lot of UI/UX changes are coming as well.

Below, you can see the new animation for the weather graph, making the data more clear and the graph more interactive to use. There is a new feature as well, the air quality index (AQI), when expanded, you can check all the 5 different pollutants that the app offers: PM2.5, PM10, CO, NO2, O3.

The next step we are currently working on is the city manager, we are improving our backend to make it faster and more responsive, and a UI redesign is also planned to make it easier to use and more interactive.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
In the next update will be included a new 3D theme, called Serenity by artofuros, specially made for the Overdrop's users. We are still refining the details to make it even better and to be ready for the release.
[Android Apps and Games] umibozu78:
This app is simply amazing.

which framework was used to create it?
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Hi, sorry for the very late reply. The app was made by using the native Android framework, all the components and fragments are native.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Hi! Dark sky also has the Hyperlocal data, we tested this feature before the app release and we have had some problem with it, Dark sky can say you how far is the closest precipitation, but we had to remove it because for some reason the data were incorrect. Probably this feature will be available when we finish to implement the feature in our todo list. Hope you will follow the development of the app! :D
[Android Apps and Games] :
Why not? Try implementing this feature from other apps. There are lots of other apps that does this too.

Anyways, its your apps and i'm not forcing ya. Take care.
[Android Apps and Games] room511:
Looking forward to the update!

Great job developing this app!

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] ardonhs:
Awesome app with cool widgets

Thank you :D
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Lol I told you why this feature is not still available, we have other more requested features to develop first! :D

Thank you very much!

Glad you like the widgets! :D
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
The app looks promising. Any chance for different weather providers? Met.no maybe? :)
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Thanks! This feature was requested many times, we will add more providers for sure after some major issues will be fixed! :D
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
Beautiful app. :good:

Thanks for having the update frequency out this early in development.

I echo the suggestion of having additional sources for weather. Here are a couple -

weather.com

AccuWeather

Weather Underground

I love how clean the widgets are. But... a widget has a bit of issue - see attached. The words would overflow the background of the widget.

Is it possible to request the Pixel weather widget? Similar to the one above Overdrop's in the screenshot.

Thanks and again great start. :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Thanks! The widget from your screen was fixed, the new version will be available in a couple of days! Regarding the pixel 2 widget, it will also be available soon!
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Overdrop Pro now available!

What's new:

- Dark AMOLED theme now available

- New widgets available only in the Pro version (more widgets will come soon)

If you like our app consider to buy the pro version and support our work!

We'll be very grateful because you will support the app development and you will help us to pay our tuition fees :D

The price of the Pro version is reduced only for the XDA labs users!
[Android Apps and Games] Bigb12:
Putting the dark theme behind a paywall is a pretty poor decision. The widgets, and ad-free make sense. You will have many people that won't use the free version because of that. Myself included. That's ad revenue you could be getting that you won't be. Some is better than none. Just my 2 cents. I am willing to buy the app when it has more to offer.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
I'm sorry to hear that but the dark theme is just the first of a series of more themes that will be available in the pro version only because they take a lot of time and effort to be created. The pro version will also include new features of course that will be added in future updated.
[Android Apps and Games] wonsky21:
From what I see you offer one dark theme, and some promises. As far as I see there's only few users of this app, and starting development with pay version is not a good way imho. My humble advice is: make more features, themes, make some sales, giveaways to make your app more famous, and THEN make some features payable. Now it looks like you want to earn some money on promises.

I used it for couple of days, the app looks promising, but I'm not gonna pay for only amoled theme. Maybe in the future, when the app will be more feature rich.

Please don't feel offended, that is not my intention.
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
[MENTION=3673848]wonsky21[/MENTION] does have a point. The app right now is very bare bones. You have very big competition.

Weather Timeline which looks to have been the inspiration of your own interface. I'm not saying it is, but they look very similar.

Today Weather with its AMOLED friendly theme.

Both are already feature rich. With a lot more stuff to offer. And already fairly well know. Your target audience already bought into them. I have bought both.

Compared to Overdrop, right now $2 is a little steep. What does this app have over the other two? What will compel them to switch? The most it can boast about is pretty widgets. Which again, for most, if they want pretty weather widgets would have already bought KWGT.

When people ask what's your weather app if choice, guaranteed it's going to be one of the three. No one is going to say Overdrop. As someone who owns all three apps, I'm not convinced to buy another app that's too early development. It would have been better to have the app mature in development before offering a pro version.

Just something to think about.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Well, we have to provide promises because we need time to add the missing feature, we promised to create the amoled theme and we did it, now we are working on the other features that the other people asked for. Thanks for your advide btw, we decided to lower the price of the pro versione because you are right, the app is still in development.

The pro version was released mainly because the people asked for it, so they can get rid of ads, we added the amoled theme in the pro version because this is the first of other themes that will be created and because the pro version should have something that the free one hasn't. As you said Overdrop has a lack of many features that the other weather apps has because is still in development and because we focused also on widgets that took a lot of time to create, this is the reason why Overdrop still hasn't the weather features of the other apps.

[Android Apps and Games] Bigb12:
You didn't need to lower the price. What you are asking is a reasonable price down the road. I was simply trying to say what the poster below me said in that Weather Timeline, and Today Weather are already very popular, and offer more than your app. Put the ad free behind the pay wall along with the widget development. Get your name in the hat first. I think it would have been wiser to go with one app with in-app-purchases.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
We are preparing after long time a big redesign for the app settings, I know, they are total mess right now but not for long. Hope you will enjoy it. On the next beta version of the app you will be able to test it:)
