Topic: WeatherLink App for Android

[River Rat]

I have enjoyed seeing my weather information using the Weatherlink app for Android for a year now, but he latest update to Marshmallow is not playing nice with the app.  I have sent a trouble ticket to Davis, and they acknowledge the issue, and report that it is an issue with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and that the appropriate division has been notified.

Looking at the app in the Play Store, it says the app hasn't been updated since 2012.  Does anyone have any experience with how long it might take Davis to fix the issue?  This is not meant to be a rant on Davis--just seeking some information.

One potential problem is that AFAIK Davis do only a fairly limited amount of software development in-house. For apps whose development was maybe contracted out or perhaps undertaken by a developer who has since left then there may well be some delay in getting issues resolved, while some further contracting is budgeted for and actually implemented. I've no real idea whether the WLfA app falls into one of these categories or not, but perhaps don't be surprised if there is some delay.
