I understand. The only thing that worries me is the system warning me about the fact that Overdrop could read all my notifications, all of them, "including those regarding personal information, like contact names, and the text messages" that I could recieve. It doesn't seem to be very good for the user privacy :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
As I said, that's how android works, we can't do much about it, users asked us to add an option to hide the persistant notification introduced on android 8, so we made it possible, and the notification access is the only way. Don't worry about your privacy, we cannot read or see anything.
[Android Apps and Games] sieghartRM:
I updated to latest version of Overdrop and Overdrop Pro Key but the app cannot find my current location even with location on (it does work for other apps in my Sony Xperia XA2 on Lineage OS) and the hourly forcast in notification does not update unless I toggle off/on Hourly Forcast in Settings.

Also can you make dark version of Smoothie Pink battery widget?
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
I had that issue when I updated to the key + free version. Only solved it by getting a fix in GPS Tester from the Play Store.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Hi, we are still working on a fix for the localization system, it's not optimized yet.

About the notification that doesn't update the informations, please update the app to the 0.9.6.4 version, we made a fix that should solve this issue

Which app did you use in order to fix the GPS?
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest

I used this to get a fix on a satellite and after that the localization in Overdrop started working. :)
[Android Apps and Games] sieghartRM:
Is the forcast suppose to be every two hours in the notification, if hourly forcast settings is enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Yes, you will have the forecast of every two hour in the notification
[Android Apps and Games] sieghartRM:
The Swash widget does not open corresponding apps (clock app, calendar app and weather app) in landscape orientation.

Turning on/off hourly forcast causes crashing or reloading of settings in OverDrop.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
What version of the app are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] sieghartRM:
Overdrop version 0.9.6.4

Overdrop Pro Version A
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Are you having issue on your xperia x a2?

Would you like to join our telegram group in order to analize better the issue and test a fix? It would be very useful. If you want to join just send me a private message here please
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
Darksky is horribly inaccurate. Without the option for other providers, this app is not going to be very usable for me. I hope in the future you will reconsider adding other providers.
[Android Apps and Games] naeledge:
First off, l love this app. Since last update the widgets are not resizing as they used to. When resizing the text would increase in size to accommodate to the new surface area. Now the widgets will remain the same size and just move around depending on the resize.
[Android Apps and Games] DominatingSystem:
Hope that other weather Provider will join this app...darksky is - sry - the last alternative for a "good" weather forecast.

If we can change it...I pay...at the moment... i`m out..

if it fails in the cost, it would be worth considering the project to end.

because for the current performance of the "pro" app, this is simply too expensive to wait for important features that should actually be standard.

Sry but that's a fact
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Can you please show us what does happen when you resize the widget because I didn't understand well the issue.

Are you a pro user?
[Android Apps and Games] Razorsoup:
I'm not the user you responded to but I very likely would be a pro user if I had the option to choose a different weather provider. Around my area, Accuweather and Weather/WeatherUnderground are the most accurate. Honestly, even if you made the alternate weather providers a pro option that'd be better than not having them at all.
[Android Apps and Games] jatt101:
app is amazing but dark sky is unreliable in Canada which ruins overall experience
[Android Apps and Games] naeledge:
So both picks use a 5x3 widgets. The first one is how it looks like when you resize the widgets longer to a 5x5 before last update. 2nd picture shows what it looks like after then update. It no longer increases text size to use new dimensions.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
This happen because there is a method that decrease the size of the widget if there is a text too long, so it won't be cropped in this case
[Android Apps and Games] naeledge:
Is it possible to add the ability to toggle that feature off? Before the update there was less wasted space due to the widgets resizing.
[Android Apps and Games] NuzaStudio:
I like it , Very useful . Nice UI ;)
[Android Apps and Games] DominatingSystem:
Nope, but we know why, right ?

Sry but I don't pay 2,39€ for an App that gives me inaccurate weather informations. i could better go out than use darksky. :/

And I don't know why u ask me if i´m a "Pro-User"... why ? may only express a pro-user criticism?

I like your app, i like the style - nice UI - much wow...its fantastic and smooth...but i miss the core...and that's the changeable Weather Provider.

I'm not the only one who sees that, if I read through the comments, the feature is wanted by a lot of people.

don't understand me wrong - but I think u know exactly what we want and especially what I want / mean
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Nobody asked you to pay us and buy the pro version, you're more than welcome to stick with the free one. If you need a wider selection of weather providers, install one of the numerous apps on the Play Store which offer such functionality. You're talking about this feature as if it were easy to implement. In reality, it requires a lot of research. Adding it would completely change our current business model.

Of course you aren't the only person asking us to add multiple weather providers, but the decision belongs to us. This concern has already been adressed multiple times and complaining will not change anything. Adding more weather providers is extremely risky. A great example is Weather Timeline, whose developer was forced to remove the app from Google Play due to the high cost of offering multiple weather sources.

If you don't find Dark Sky accurate enough, switch to a different weather app. Nobody is forcing you to use a product which doesn't match your needs.
[Android Apps and Games] DominatingSystem:
It was only a feature request dude and you gave me the most arogant answer or question.

"Are u a pro user?"

Sorry, but that speaks for itself. and the last answer also says more than 1000 words.

the motto:

"go away and stop talking badly about my app. There are no feature requests and criticism is not welcome."

Nice dude. Really nice.

I wish u good luck on your future way.

Maybe I try your app next year. We will see.

And... a good developer does not compare with others. he does his thing (Like weather timeline)

Yeah, i'm not a developer and I have not the slightest idea how hard it is to develop such an app. But arrogance is something you should not hang out as a developer first

Sincerely

a ex overdrop user
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
I spent my time trying to explain to you the reason why we cannot provide multiple weather sources and you're brave enough to call me arrogant? I'm glad you're an ex-user, disrespectful and unthankful people aren't welcome here.

You're right when you say that you don't have a slightest idea of how hard it is to develop, that's why I explained to you why it is a problem to do so. If you believe that I was being arrogant and you aren't interested in finding out the reasons why the functionality you proposed can't be implemented, it isn't my fault.

Goodbye, ex-Overdrop-user.
[Android Apps and Games] iamkrishna321:
OverDrop

;)
[Android Apps and Games] JoroBo:
Hi, I am interested in why you can't implement that functionality. I am asking from the perspective of a regular user, I am not a developer. All I can say is, as mentioned previously in this thread, for Canada your only choice of weather supplier is not accurate and that stops me from using an otherwise great and beautiful app (congrats btw, great design and UI). So I guess I am curious why you would not consider making it a part of the pay version for instance? Also if the cost seems prohibitive, why not switch to a subscription based business model for the paid app instead of single payment? Have you thought about having 2 versions of the same app, one for the Play Store and one say on github for which any payments would not be subject to the Google "tax"? Of course it is your app so your call.
[Android Apps and Games] jatt101:
Just for my understanding alone, but if you were to add another provider, you would have to pay for access to their APIs which would add additional cost on your side. Right now, with your current user base, whatever that may be, it seems you picked dark sky since the pricing seems good (not sure how much other APIs are) as the app is still in development. Simple google search gave me this information below.

Do you forsee yourself replacing dark sky completely with another provider in the future once you establish a userbase or will Dark Sky be your sole provider? Just curious to see what the future for this app holds.

Looking forward to your response.
[Android Apps and Games] DominatingSystem:
u dont get it... I do not call you arrogant because you want to explain it to me....i call you arrogant that u ask me if i´m a PRO_USER before u began to explain me the Problem. That's what I mean. I understand the problem and the level of difficulty very well. but apparently you do not like criticism and that's reflected in your answers.

But...meh...forget it ;)
[Android Apps and Games] battler624:
I like it, visually stunning but I'd absolutely love if some changes were made. I read some of the comments here and I know some of my proposed changes aren't aligned with your business model but I seriously hope you can change that.

First off providers:

DarkSky isn't accurate in my location (3c off at best), I honestly prefer google weather (which is taken from weather.com if i'm not mistaken)

Secondly, Widgets:

I prefer the at a glance widget (I was using another widget before switching to this) and would absolutely like if you could make a at a glance v2 that includes a clock and is all clickable (preferable making the weather section opens google weather).
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
[MENTION=6013515]brekane[/MENTION],

I'm getting this constantly in my logcat:

Is this normal?

I'm asking because I've been having abnormal battery drain lately as well as overheating and performance drops (probably because of overheating).

GSam however shows Overdrop using 0% battery.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Seems a notification listener error, we will try to fix it in the next release, thanks for the feedback
[Android Apps and Games] jatt101:
Deleted the app and started using today weather, multiple weather sources supported and dev responds when questions are asked.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
​

Guess what? I don't care about the fact you uninstalled the app. Goodbye
[Android Apps and Games] sieghartRM:
I updated to Overdrop v0.9.6.6 but the Swash widget still does not open calendar, clock and weather app in landscape orientation of device and the other issue I mentioned in previous post of turning on/off hourly forcast causes it to crash or reload(not sure how to describe)the settings menu.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
I sent you a PM, please check it, so we can find out what's the problem and fix the issue, thanks
[Android Apps and Games] athenodorus:
I bought the Pro version but kinda disappointed at the accuracy of the weather. Its raining but yet the app shows partly cloudy.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
The reability of the weather informations are granted by the weather provider, in our case Dark sky. It can happens that the data are not correct sometimes if one of their weather station is not close to your actual position.

If you are not satisfied by the service provided into the app, you are kindly asked to send me a PM, you will receive a full refund.
[Android Apps and Games] papero68:
A very serious man!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
If you wish to support our work but you still didn't buy the Pro key, now is your chance. The app will be on sale for the next 48h!
[Android Apps and Games] Typhus_:
Hello!

I've loved so much this app that I've bought it. Great work!

Currently using Android P Weather Transparent Widget Theme. If you could add an option to set the level of transparency, it would be great. It's just that, on light backgrounds is quite hard to see anything written on the widget...

On the other hand, you could Merge Android P Weather light and dark into just one that would switch from light to dark based on daylight.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
An option like that requires a big amount of work, because of the way we structured the code regarding the app widgets, I can't promise that such an option will be added, but we will try our best
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
UPDATE v0.9.7.2

A brand new onboarding UI has been added to Overdrop, helping new users quickly configure the app upon first launch
[Android Apps and Games] redhunter22:
Hey [MENTION=6013515]brekane[/MENTION], thanks for the awesome app, I instantly bought the pro version. Money well spent!:)

One question though, can you make synchronisation between the app and the widget a little bit more consistent? I mean when I refresh the app, the widget needs a couple more minutes to display the refreshed data. Also, the app/widget should show when the data was last refreshed. Besides that, everything is perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] peritrima:
What is this notification ? I am currently not using the widget but stuff is happening in the background ? I don't get that .. I have the pro version !
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Google inteoduced this notification in Android 8 to notify when an app is working. Simply tap on it and disable the notification
[Android Apps and Games] peritrima:
That was not my point . I am not using a widget. My home screen is clean .. I started getting the notification after the update . Shouldn't be working in the background at all...
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Can you apply a widget, then remove it and check if the notification is gone. Let me know thanks
[Android Apps and Games] JonasVFC:
Can you add weather underground to the data providers?
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
After 7 months of testing, Overdrop is now officially released on Google Play. Thanks to everybody who has helped us improve the app. Within 72 hours of now, the testing deal will end and the Pro key's price will rise. Get it now!

Merry Christmas to everyone!
[Android Apps and Games] alphablue597:
Is there any plans to add weather alerts for Europe (from meteoalarm for example), and air quality index?
[Android Apps and Games] DrUnknownEMC:
Did you manage to get it working for Mirco G? I get no result when I typed in any city such as new York city, location is showing tick but doesn't find any city. Basically stuck on the setup.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Hi, what is your device and what version of the app are you running?

There are already weather alerts into the app, a triangle will appear next to the city manager icon when will be a weather alert for the location you selected, if you tap on it you will see all the details
[Android Apps and Games] jonnycat26:
I'm not sure if this is possible, but could you add the forecasted precipitation amount? If it's going to rain or snow, knowing exactly how much is forecasted is very helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] DrUnknownEMC:
My device is one plus 3t on 1.0.1.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Are you using a custom Rom on your device?
[Android Apps and Games] carlosmax:
Edit widget

Hi!!

Its possible to do our own configuration, like KWGT?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Hi, no it's not possible because Overdrop was designed as a weather app that also includes a widget collection. KWGT is a widget editor that was made specifically to make your own widgets
[Android Apps and Games] carlosmax:
Ok Thanks!!!

Where i can find more widgets? Its only the widgets that came it the aplicaction?
[Android Apps and Games] DrUnknownEMC:
Yeah msm extended.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
That's the issue, some custom roms don't have a built in geocoder, and the app is not able any position, if you will change your rom, check if it has a geocoder then the app will work normally
[Android Apps and Games] DrUnknownEMC:
Does this also effect custom location aswell?
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
If by "custom location" you mean the manual search, then yes, the lack of the geocoder makes impossible to the app to convert the city you are looking for into the coordinates this city is located
[Android Apps and Games] jackoboy9:
It's nice - I like the 'feels like' temperature display and highs/lows of the next few days. A couple of things stopping me from switching:

Wish there was a widget similar to the default light one but with a transparent background and the ability to make it thinner.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
What is the "default light one"? There are many white weather widgets in the app.
[Android Apps and Games] jackoboy9:
It's called 'Widget Light'. The first one in the list of widget styles.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
There is a widget similar to this one that is also transparent it's called "Android P Weather Transparent".
[Android Apps and Games] jackoboy9:
It's pretty much perfect other than it doesn't show 'feels like' temps. If it could show that instead of pressure, it'd be perfect, imo
[Android Apps and Games] GenericAsianGuy:
I just installed Overdrop and I'm in love with it. [MENTION=6013515]brekane[/MENTION], is there the ability to customize the name for saved places? I have multiple addresses in the same city that I want to keep track of weather conditions for but it's difficult for me to distinguish between them because they currently have identical names. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
I'm sorry, you are not able to edit the name of the saved places, but I will take in consideration your suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] brkrconqu3ror:
Crashes always:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
No it doesn't... Never had a single crash with this app.

It's probably a problem with your device/setup.

Also, without providing logs there's no way of knowing what's causing it.
[Android Apps and Games] brkrconqu3ror:
i think solved the problem.i have been sending the crash report.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Is the app still crashing?
[Android Apps and Games] brkrconqu3ror:
Yep.it crashes when i touch the "weather forecast notification options" button.but except this; it runs perfect.

Just tested that on my OnePlus 3T running an AOSP based Android Pie custom ROM and it works fine.

Could it be ROM related?
[Android Apps and Games] hengA233:
The app is very beautiful.but i faced some location problem.i couldn't use GPS to locate.Even I informed my address manually.I couldn't get into the app.What happened:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
What version of the app are you using?

Are you on a custom ROM? If so, that's the issue, some of them doesn't have the geocoder and the app can't find your location
[Android Apps and Games] brkrconqu3ror:
im on android 7.0 stock rom and the app is correctly finds my location during start-up
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
I had that problem once.

Try this:

- Download the app GPS Tester from the Play Store

- Open the app and let it get a fix on a GPS satellite (you have to be outside)

- After that, close GPS Tester and open Overdrop and see if it can find your location or if you can sey one manually.

That worked for me when I had that issue. :)
[Android Apps and Games] hengA233:
I found that I needed to use VPN to get into the app.Is it matter that I am in Beijing,China now?Once I disconnected the VPN,the problem appeared again.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
In China there are restrictions on some connections, if the VPN fixes the issue, I'm pretty sure that the cause is the fact you are in Beijing
[Android Apps and Games] Timate5:
Thanks for the great app.

Is it possible to consider support wear os? :)
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
[MENTION=6013515]brekane[/MENTION],

I recently switched to another custom ROM (Havoc OS) on my OnePlus 3T and I've been having trouble with location related stuff in Overdrop.

Even my previous trick with the GPS tester didn't work.

I can search for locations but selecting one does nothing.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Overdrop and recorded a log on initial setup looking for the current location.

GPS Tester gets a fix on satellites outside and Chronus widget, Google Maps and Uber apps are also able to find the current location.

Could you please check the log and tell me what's wrong?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
Nevermind, it seems to be working now... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] rippledrums:
[MENTION=6013515]brekane[/MENTION],

I found out what was causing my issues with Overdrop! :D

It was AdGuard and HTTPS blocking for Google Play Services!

Disabled that and now it can detect my location and I can also choose locations I search for.

:good:

Hello!!

Its possible to change the text color and font of a widget?
[Android Apps and Games] tica02:
Agreed. I'd love to have it match my system font I've chosen.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosmax:
TRUE :)
[Android Apps and Games] slovenec88:
Hey dev, you made a beautiful app. I bough the pro version to show you some support.

I come from Weather Timeline which does not work for me since they removed HQ weather providers.

App is beautiful, but it lacks one thing in my opinion. There is no easy way to see the upcoming weather - no glancability.

Would it be possible to add a section like this from Weather Underground? I put it on attachment.

It is very easy to see the upcoming weather, rain and wind.

Please kindly think about it. I know it is a lot of work.

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] ClydeDroid:
Same issue here! Nexus 6P on LineageOS 15.1 with MicroG, Overdrop is just getting stuck on setup, unable to find a location either automatically or manually.
[Android Apps and Games] the_happy_cannibal:
The location in the weather notification does not seem to update correctly.

I have the Refresh Interval set to 30 minutes, and battery optimization is turned off.

When I drive to and from work the location displayed in the notification does not change (my commute is longer than 30 minutes).

I know that the device is getting location updates as Google's weather display in Android Auto will change location at least 2-3 times during my drive.
[Android Apps and Games] Drymarchon:
Can you make it possible for users to choose what weather provider we want to use? Dark sky doesn't predict well in my area, but AccuWeather does, so maybe make it so we can change using a list to dark sky, accuweather, weather underground, etc. And, maybe you could add some code to change the units to metric, imperial depending on where they are during setup.
