I use https://widgets.meteox.com/de-DE
You can add it to grid from browser, then its like a standalone app but opens in browser.

  1. Choose region
  2. Create Widget-Code
  3. Copy url from src= to yourbrowser url and open the preview
  4. In browser hamburger-menu choose “add to appgrid”

How about this?

@lakeboy:
Please, before recommending apps, try them out by yourself. Or, at least, read the comments in the repo.

As interesting as rainviewer from openrepos might be, it just doesn’t show anything besides a basic map. So, unfortunately no rain prediction.

Nice :+1: Did you try it out? GPS isn’t actually necessary, just enter the place,where you are and you get the resp. prediction. GPS is only necessary, if you have no clue where you are. But then, internet access is needed to get the prediction.

Um, so you’re assuming I’ve never opened or used the app at all?
You can’t predict where rain will fall, only where it is falling, at least for Australia
And I can see rain and maps fine.

Intersting, in the Europe it only shows the maps and the rain/precipitation function of this rainviewer app stopped working suddenly a few months ago on two different SFOS devices. Same is true for the Chum version.
I also use the browser with a national weather service provider because this app fails to load or display data…

I think rainviewer did an api update. I just noticed that the rainviewer page in my German weather service app stopped working recently. I’m looking at it.

Yes, Rainviewer doesn’t work anymore in France either.
A pitty, as it was really nice.
I took a look into the app but it seems the provider can’t be changed in the settings.

Heh. So the dwd app, aka. German Weather Service has been updated to use meteox until I can, or if I can repair rainviewer.

Thank you for updating your app. However, is it possible to format the float values using German punctuation, such as 3,9°C instead of 3.9°C? I’m not very familiar with QML and Qt, but in Lua, you can achieve this output with:

lua
StrReplace(temperature, ".", ",")

Also, the wind speed displayed on the cover and main page lacks a unit. It’s shown as 5.5, but it should specify the unit (e.g., m/s or km/h).

15

Hm, in Switzerland, we use the dot instead of the comma. To fulfil all desired ways of showing country specific, the app should use the system settings, doesn’t it?

16

Sorry, if I wrongly assumed so. I am not too familiar with such details in programming and it influencing even the ways of presenting information differently, depending on the country you are uusing it in. :frowning:
But thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn something new :slight_smile:

The app is called German Weather App, so it’s appropriate for it to use metric units. If it offers weather forecasts for other countries, your suggestion to consider system preferences is a good idea.

Additionally, my example above may not represent the best programming practices.

18

I would prefer a ‘Rechtsschreibreform’ worthy of the name :slight_smile: I’ll put it in the next release.

19

Nope. Although my mother tongue is German, I deeply despise some of it’s current ‘features’. Still, I can localize those, as I mention above.

Wind speed is in Kilometers per hour. As metric as it gets.
