Two material widgets coming in a couple of days :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
Are you really arguing for $2?
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Overdrop Free update

As requested we created the dark version of the "Simplistic" and "Oblik" widgets!

Now the clickable widgets are fixed and we added some function to them! Hope you like them
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Overdrop Pro update

As requested new material design widgets! Light and dark version now available
[Android Apps and Games] BlackopsAgent:
Hi. This looks great. Do you have any plans to add a "Feels Like" temperature option?
[Android Apps and Games] jmblazquezh:
I think I'll test PRO version of this weather app in coming days, because default stock weather app and weather widgets are very bad and ugly in OnePlus 6. This weather app and widgets are very interesting...

Suggestion to the developer....weather widgets with translucent or transparent background...

Greetings from Spain.
[Android Apps and Games] Gaarfnar:
I have a few issues. 2 to be exact for now.

It says the loading weather data and is stuck here. Never loads anything and the app was open for quite some time. The second problem is the app crashing after trying to add a widget to the home screen.

Any help for either of whose problems? I do love the simplistic look and would like to buy the app to show support if you could solve these problems.
[Android Apps and Games] Toxic17:
would love to see this app also read realtime.txt files from web sites that run their own weather stations.

is anyone getting the following error when starting up Overdrop:

check your internet connection and swipe to refresh

I phone has internet 4G, and Wifi internet. yet this app thinks I dont.

PS, HPa pressure should be shown like so in settings menu selection: hPa
[Android Apps and Games] fiffan86:
On LTE and wifi it says to check my Internet connection on my pixel 2 XL Android 8.1
[Android Apps and Games] Toxic17:
same here, obviously this app wont work on certain Android OS's. My OnePlus 6 is on Android 8.1.0 too
[Android Apps and Games] kpirnie:
works fine on my view 10 on 8.1
[Android Apps and Games] CandyAndy:
When you get your "at the glance" widget up and running I will buy this. I need that kind of widget with the upcoming event function. Otherwise I do love the clean interface of the app.

I keep the free version installed so I will see when the updates are rolling in.
[Android Apps and Games] 2LoT:
Widget "Today is Friday" does this widget display a random day? And the screenshot just shows a coincidence that the selected day is today. Could it be possible that this widget displays something like "2387 days ago is Wednesday" or "In 57 days it will be Sunday"?
[Android Apps and Games] 2LoT:
Can you add a widget which

displays clock

quick summary of today

weather of a few days ahead.

configurable hotspots (tap on day = opens calendar app of choice, tap on clock open clock app of choice)

Example screenshot taken from Weather Timeline (top half is the WT Small Clock widget, top bottom is WT Small Week widget).

WT needs 2 widgets to do such a thing.

Basic, functional, but very little configuration to change style (like font)

Also the Weather info page should be pleasant and easily readable. Best are Today weather (but its widgets are ugly). Or Weather Timeline.

Would you consider having those features? If yes, I would buy in a hearbeat,
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
the keywords are "minimalistic" & "stylish" (quoting from the OP description), and thats what attracts me to the app..

if i want another feature-packed (but ugly-designed) app, i would have chosen Today Weather..

do not turn this app into a bloated beast.. keep focusing on your intended keywords..

my two cents..
[Android Apps and Games] room511:
Exactly!
[Android Apps and Games] KoalKillerUbU:
nice and simple app.

I also recommend weatehr underground as a weather data provider.

on Android 8.1 with op6 the geolocation request doesn't appear automatically when you search the city or the first start of the app (download version google play)
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
IMPORTANT

Yesterday, due to a massive increase in the number of active users, Overdrop experienced a server call overload, causing the app to be down for all the users during the night, with weather information not loading correctly. Our working connection to the weather provider API has now been restored, meaning that all issues should be resolved. All users who encountered impediments are kindly asked to refresh the weather info within the app. We apologise for the inconvenience caused. Should you have further questions, we'll be happy to help all of you

Hi, the feels like temperature and the uv index will be probably added soon.

Thank you! We are preperating all the strings of the app to be translated! Your help will be very welcome :D

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the suggestion I will try some cool translucent widget soon!

Sorry for the inconvenience, can you tell me what device are you using and its android version? Thanks

You are right! Thanks for the feedback we will fix the unit!

I explained why you couldn't be able to use the app in the first sentence, sorry guys!

This widget is on our TODO list, so be sure that it will be available soon with other new widgets!

I can't understand about what widget are you talking about exactly. The day displayed into the widget gallery is the day when we added the widget, but when you add it on your homescreen it will display the current day of course, is not random.

It's a pretty complex widget to create in a short time, yes I could created a cool widget with some of your request, because change the font is not possible for how we structured the code about the widget, at least this is not possible for now, maybe in a longer period when we change the code.

"Also the Weather info page should be pleasant and easily readable" I can't understand what do you mean, is the current UI not enough easy to read?

Yes sir! This is the main reason why we created Overdrop, because all the other weather apps have useless features, ugly UI and ugly widgets, we wanted to create a minimal and modern weather app, and this is what Overdrop is and will always be.

Thanks for the feedback, we will consider to add more weather provider in future.
[Android Apps and Games] cathlynn:
Love the app. Have bought paid version. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] jazzespresso:
while Today weather is still one of the best, have to agree with some of users commented that its widgets are not on top level. More unique widgets and different kind and size would make this app surely much more appealing and unique among the tons of weather apps in Play store..
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
What do you mean by "different kind and size" can you be more precise?
[Android Apps and Games] jazzespresso:
you know, there are still people out there uses Android Tablet, like my Galaxy Tab S2, so many of android developers really works towards to phone interface ( I don't blame them since tablets in Android world is not very popular), thus widgets not very optimized for tablet interface, it is either too big, or either too tiny, so most common widget size always 4x2, 4x3...etc......but not many has 5.x2, 5x4...6x2....

even if developer allow to re-size the widget, still some issue, resize it, the fonts still small..etc....you see my point...

not that all these a must...but I guess depends on apps, it makes differences, especially weather app, since many of us put weather widget on home screen as first one to put!:p
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
We were focused on create the best optimized code for the widgets, because we have had a lot of problems, widgets didn't update, didn't apply correctly, they drained too much battery etc, they where a good part of the entire development, also because they are not the standard widgets that the other weather app have, our widgets have custom fonts, icons etc, all this stuff take a lot of time to be created without bugs.

As you can see many people still have functional problems directly releated to the app and we are currently focused on them because we want to fix all the issue as soon as possible.
[Android Apps and Games] moralesnery:
Beautiful app, loved the simple design, the weather animation looks A LOT like MIUI's weather app.

If you need help with Spanish (latin american) translation I could help (I'm native speaker).

Thanks for your work!
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
IMPORTANT UPDATE

Some users experienced issues using the GPS location, we updated the app, now when you grant the location permission to Overdrop it should find immediately your current position.

App doesn't show on the family library of the playstore...
[Android Apps and Games] 2LoT:
I was referring to the widget at the bottom right of your post in page 1. The widget says "Today is Friday". Reattached below. None of the weather and clock apps I know need to mention that it's for "today". But your widget explicitly reminds the user that TODAY is Friday. Which gives the impression that this widget may possibly display a date other than today.

As you have clarified that the widget always display the current date. Maybe the word "today is" could be removed and leave room to display more useful info.
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
well just for the discussion, i think the prefix "Today is" gives a more human-like impression instead of a cold, machine-generated text.. though its not space-efficient it adds to the overall "stylish" goal of the app.. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
I have been doing widgets for years, I created some popular widget packs for zooper and kwgt called Trident. And no one complained about something like and in these packs there are a lot widgets that says "today is [current day]". It's just a way to create a more human-like impression as suggested by iamelton.
[Android Apps and Games] faffu41:
Again since I'm being ignored... Is it normal that the pro version isn't in the family library even though it should be? I don't want to buy the app twice...
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
you made a statement (and not a question) previously, so im not sure what response you expected to get from that statement..

and btw, whats the "family library" of play store that you mentioned? and why do you think this app belongs to that "library"?
[Android Apps and Games] kyzn:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7007852?hl=en
[Android Apps and Games] iamelton:
thx for the info.. i dont have that family option under accounts in my play store, probably due to my country is not supported..
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Sorry I didn't notice your comment, as you can see I try to help and answer to everyone.

Btw now this option is available, unfortunately no one required this option since now, this is why it wan't available.

Widget issues

After the piece in the news yesterday I thought I'd give the app a try. I've added a widget to the home screen and two quick thoughts came to mind

The big scary warning saying I should add widgets the usual way, not by tapping them in the gallery seems a bit excessive and well... scary :)

Haptic feedback when I tap on the widget on the home screen is annoying
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
We will add an option to disable the touch feedback of the widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Many of you asked to help us with the Overdrop's translations, now you can do that just following the site linked in this post.

Thanks in advance to all the people that will help us.

https://overdrop.oneskyapp.com/collaboration/project?id=146887
[Android Apps and Games] faffu41:
Oh I see... Unfortunately I can't still download the app... The weird thing is that playstore says the apps is enabled for family library and the toggle is on but idk why on another device with another account (obv member of the family library) asks for payment... Really weird...
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
For such things you should contact the google play support, I don't think that I can help you about that.
[Android Apps and Games] agnul:
:D

We'll that makes me ask one more thing! In the default theme (non amoled) the system soft keys (back, home, recent apps) are almost invisible white on light gray.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
We already know that, the light grey was necessary in order to not ruin the UI of the app, the dark soft keys were introduced by google on android 8.1, but if your device has an older version of android you won't be able to display them anyway.

Now we were working on the translations and some other small fixes, the dark soft keys will be added soon.
[Android Apps and Games] faffu41:
Spent two whole days on the phone and emailing with Google play support, they can't sort this thing out... Seems like I'll have to pay for it twice... Thanks anyway for the support :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Zentori:
Congratulations! Amazing widgets and design.

Do you plan to develop screensaver/daydream? I would love to see current date, time and weather plus some forecast when my tablet is in its dock.

I currently use Beautiful Widgets but this app could be a great replacement.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
We never thought about that, but it sounds like a cool idea, maybe when the most important parts of the app will be improved we could try to create some screensaver
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Overdrop update! Free and Pro version

What's new?

- Fixed missing widgets after a reboot

- Fixed background notification on Android Oreo

- Added temperature and humidity in the forecast section

- Improved animated illustrations of the light theme

- Added m/s wind unit

- Fixed the pressure unit

As always if someone of you have some problem can inform us here
[Android Apps and Games] sparex:
Looks very nice.

One question:

Why do you need access to my notifications?
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
The app needs the access to your notifications in order to remove the background app notification, introduced by google on android 8, that appears when you apply a widget on your homescreen
[Android Apps and Games] sparex:
Alright. Thanks for reply.

I'm in love with this right now. Woyld love to see two things:

1. Choosing what app to open when clock is pressed at the widget

2. What about an expandable notification ala oreo style. Check screenshots for reference, like the google weather notification (I love it cause it's minimal)
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
We will add the option to open the clock app when you tap on the time of the widget. We will also create a weather notification, of course better than the google one ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Na'onak:
Hi !

Great app ! I had a hard time finding a weather app with a sleek design (can't find any except Weather Timeline).

This is looking very good.

Ok now I may have some suggestions.

- The feature I miss the most is being able to swipe left and right to change pages. This is definitely frustrating.

- Considering this, I would get rid of that navigation bar at the bottom of the main page (also, this bar doesn't fit in amoled theme as it is not black...)

This would make the main page perfectly clean.

- I don't understand why we can access the list of widgets within the app itself as we can't add them through it.

I would replace that second page with a detail of today's weather hour-by-hour.

These are just ideas. I'm happy with this app for now and as the developer, you are free to go the way you want to.

Just keep this app minimalistic and beautiful as it is ! ;)

Congratulations! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Glad you like the app! Thanks

The swipe to change the city won't be possible probably, at least not for now.

We can't get rid of the bottombar since it allows you to switch through the sections of the app and its color it's not black in the amoled theme because it will ruin the UI

The widget list was added into the app because many people don't know about their existence and it help the people that see them the first time to understand what they are and how to use them, we know, it's not useful for people that already use the widgets, we will think about a better solution.

Btw we are currently working on the weather hour by hour, it will come soon.
[Android Apps and Games] NexusMT:
Hey there,

i really like the App, congrats :)

Are there any plans to add more data providers ? Dark Sky is pretty bad for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Na'onak:
Actually, I was thinking the swipe would change the sections (I said "pages", not sure about the right word, i'm french).

See attachment 1.

I can't see in what way a black navbar would ruin the UI, especially if you add a little white separator.

See attachment 2

But in my opinion (and I insist, this is MY opinion), getting rid of this navbar and beign able to swipe would make this app even more clean.

See attachment 3 & 4
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Yes, as I said in some earlier post we are planning to add more providers, but first we need to improve some other aspects of the app.

1. Swipe-based page changing, while it would make the UI cleaner, would only negative impact the UX. It is important for the user to be aware of what the pages' general content and functionality before deciding to switch to a different destination. The lack of clear indication as to said content and functionality makes the proposed user flow much worse.

2. The white separator is distracting - it uses the same fill color as elements of primary importance, such as headers and icons, while it is much less important. A dark grey separator could work better, but as of now we aren't planning to implement such a modification to the UI.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Overdrop Free and Pro update

Nothing special this time, we just added the Spanish language.
[Android Apps and Games] sykomaniac:
Is there a way it seeing a detailed 24hr weather forecast?
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Currently this feature is not available, but we are working on it so it will be available soon!
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
New update!

What's new?

- Now the "Details" are expandable, tap on the arrow to display the new infos

- Added UV index as requested

- Added Feels like temperature as requested
[Android Apps and Games] :
This app is awesome, great job!

Just please add more weather providers and what about animated weather icons? See this example, it would be hard to implement?
[Android Apps and Games] iam_delan0:
[MENTION=6013515]brekane[/MENTION] Hi, great job with the app, I have bought the Pro version, the only thing I feel missing is, the widgets do not open the app when tapped, for example, I want the clock app to open if I tap on the clock, or the calendar to open when I tap the date.

Otherwise, all is good, the widgets are amazing. Great app, keep up the good work. :)
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
We will add more weather providers when the main funtions of the app will work perfectly for all the users. We can't add animated weather icons because we should completely change the code regarding the weather, and too much animated elements would ruin the UX.
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
All the widgets with the weather open the app, just tap on the weather icon.
[Android Apps and Games] indestructible master:
Can you enable on kitkat
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Sorry but we can't because this version of android is too old and some functions won't work on kitkat.
[Android Apps and Games] indestructible master:
:crying: :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
On account of an exam session at his university, Overdrop's software developer will not be able to work on the app for the next two weeks. Therefore, please do not expect any updates over that 14-day period. I am currently preparing a brand new theme for Overdrop, and it will be available as soon as the software developer is able to continue expanding the functionality of our app. We're also working on adding an hourly weather view, which will be coming in a future update. Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
New update available!

What's new:

- 3 new Android P weather widget

- Improved the GPS system

- Fixed the City manager

- Fixed missing widgets after a phone reboot

- Fixed widgets on Xiaomi phones (Don't forget to grant the autostart permission!!)

If you have some issue please report it here or send an email at overdrop.help@gmail.com

HUAWEI TESTERS NEEDED

Seems that the last update is causing force close on Huawei devices and we are still trying to figure out what is the problem, we are working on a fix but we need testers to see if it actually works.

If you have a Huawei device on Android 7 or above please test the new alpha version, install it from the link below and leave a feedback so we can check if our solution works. Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
New small update v 0.7.3.8

Fixed wrong weather data displayed on the current location using the GPS

Improved the city manager click area

Improve the app stability
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
What do you think about this weather notification we are working on?

The notification will be customizable, you will be able to change the background color and the text color, probably the icon pack too.

We will also create different styles so you can choose which one you prefer, but this will be available after the next update because we need to test this one first
[Android Apps and Games] Nastrahl:
I love it.

It will be a very good addition.

Edit: since there will be a notification, an icon to the status bar will be mandatory too. Can you add an option to select what condition we want to be shown here, please?

One more question: is it possible to add two or more icon to the status bar to have a quick peak about different things like one icon for the temp, an other one for the weather condition, etc?

Thanks

Edit 2: I forgot to say that this notification idea is very nice.
[Android Apps and Games] yeezusv2:
AMAZING

Amazing app, working fine on the Samsung A5 with Android Oreo. Can you guys add news support also? That would be awesome. Or make a launcher itself and implement these features on there?
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
Hi, we will consider your request. The status bar icon are already done, if the notification will works fine we will try to add new features.

Sorry but we can't do that because we want to keep the app simple and easy to use, a launcher is a total different app, Overdrop is a weather app
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
UPDATE

What's new?

- New Ataraxia theme by Vukasin

- New Dark theme

- New theme gallery

- Stability improvements
[Android Apps and Games] agnul:
I'm not sure if that means that dark softkeys are already implemented (in which case there's a bug: I'm on 8.1 and I don't see them) or they wont be implemented because they'd work only in 8.1 and up (but then why bother with android P? :p)
[Android Apps and Games] brekane:
The dark soft keys are not implemented yet, it's not so simple and quick to do it in our case because we also have many themes where the soft keys color has to change
[Android Apps and Games] agnul:
Quickly reading android release notes somewhat made me think it would be as simple as flipping a flag. My bad.
