    So Flowx is back on Google Play now. There was no notification that the changes were accepted or the appeal was accepted of that the app was live again. Nothing. During the 1-2 day…

    Thanks for the reply. The store blurb lists the data models available in the app, for example, NOAA HRRR and DWD D2, which only cover certain regions in the world. This is importan…

    Apple did not build the ecosystem alone. The ecosystem is made up of the platform, the developers and the users. Lose one of these and you don't have an ecosystem. If all the devel…

    I read RNZ news and came across this article. I don't know this couple and I don't know if they did anything wrong, but what really bugs me is that major tech companies can do this…

    Hi all, I've spent the last 2 years porting the Flowx weather app from Android to Apple using Kotlin Multiplatform (KMM). It's in beta testing on TestFlight and I've included a pub…

    I changed DEBUG = False and I get an "Internal Server Error" - you can check it now while I have a quick go at finding the cause. I want to try static page generators (Hugo) instea…

    I've actually already looked into the DEBUG=True issue just now. Setting it to false causes an "Internal Server Issue". So do I spend hours looking for a fix, look into replacing i…

    Flowx dev here. I'm not sure if the 404 page or the Debug = True is the concern?? but there are two privacy pages in the help section: https://flowx.io/help/privacy/ https://flowx.…

    BTW, I'm in the process of porting Flowx to Apple. It's not as complete as the Android version but it's in beta testing if you'd like to join. Just message me and I can send an inv…

    I'm in the process of porting Flowx, an Android weather app, to iOS. It is currently released for beta testing. I've added most global and European data and am planning to add NOAA…

    You have to be careful you aren't comparing apples to oranges. You might be looking at the Meteoblue MOS (statistically corrected) predictions which might be based on their regiona…

    Comment #33361872

    I've been working with weather models for 10 years and I often get asked "How accurate is X?" or "Which model is more accurate?" Many people think "accuracy" is a single number or …

    I have a weather app on Android and, as a New Zealander, wanted to include NZ data. MetService made it difficult and costly. When I asked how much for radar data, they essentially …

    I have a product that does of what you ask, e.g., no ads, no tracking, no "Dear valued customer". Unfortunately: - competitors use revenue from ads, tracking, selling data to their…

    No, there are no notification. I plan to add a notification editor one day where you can configure any notification you want. That said, the to-do list is super long so it might be…

    I felt a little slighted (in a cheeky way) by the "zero good weather apps for Android" comment. Started writing then decided against it. Then I got this email in my inbox from a us…

    Rainviewer is working on a similar output as Dark Sky where they are a predicting the radar images forward up to 2 hours. I don't think this feature is released yet but with this s…

    I develop Flowx, an Android weather app, and I agree, it is difficult to pull data from NOAA and other weather services around the world. Depending on your needs, I may have data y…
