Android app called Weather Station.
« on: March 02, 2013, 07:23:16 PM »
Gets it's data from WU PWS stations, NOAA, Yahoo Weather and something called BBC Backstage. The screen shots look pretty cool. Especially the graphs. Just wonder if anyone has installed this. It does cost $1.33 so it's not a huge investment. It was rated at 3.5 stars in the Play Store.
Here's a link.

I saw and tried "PWS" app last year but could never get it to run on my tab. I like the way it sounded by being able to read your own PWS and display it. When I emailed the author and described my problem running my tablet, he couldn't help. Neat idea with an app just the same.

I did end up buying it for 1.33.
I have to say say I really bought it for the graphs though. It does however use a fair amount of data to upload the graphs. It does have an option to upload only with WI-FI.
The data screen is customizable for just about every parameter. 
Overall I would recommend it but the $3 plus price would be a deterrent.
It's funny how we'll spend $4 for a gallon of gas but a $3 dollar non essential app isn't worth it. Human nature I guess.
