The initial idea was to revive old tablets, that are still working, but became too slow or too insecure because of the old Android version. Usually these tablets are still good enough to run WhatWeather. How long can I use the app for free? As long as you wish. It offers a basic set of features and can be upgraded with in-app purchases. What is WhatWeather Pro? WhatWeather Pro has become obsolete since WhatWeather provides the same features as an in-app purchase. You no longer have to install a separate app. Do I have to purchase upgrades for each device separately? No. Your in-app purchases are eligible for all devices assigned to your Google account. Do you offer 24/7 support? We give our best to check e-mails daily and to answer your requests. Why is feature XY missing? To contact us is a better idea, than to write a 1-star review. Give us a chance to put it on the list or to explain, why we don't want to implement it. There is much empty space on the screen, why don't you fill it up with bigger font or additional data? There is one layout, that has to fit all the different aspect ratios, time and date formats, languages and optional data, that you can turn on and off. Our reference is an old Google Nexus 7. We are improving the layout continuously, but it will possibly never fit your particular device perfectly. WhatWeather asks for the GPS permission. What do you use it for? The weather data providers need your position. WhatWeather tries to locate your device automatically. If you reject the permission or turn off the device's location service, you have to enter the location manually. There are no personal data besides the coordinates, language and app version submitted to the backend server. Icons from https://icons8.com were used in this app.

What WhatWeather - Weather Station Is Used For

WhatWeather - Weather Station appears to be an app for turning an older Android phone or tablet into a dedicated weather display. Based on the metadata, it is commonly used as a wall-style or desk-style weather station that stays on and updates automatically, making it useful for devices that are no longer ideal for everyday use but still work well enough for a fixed display role.

The app is focused on showing weather information at a glance, including current conditions, hourly and daily forecasts, and recent weather history. The listed permissions suggest it needs internet access and location access to provide local weather data, and it also uses boot, alarm, and wake-related permissions to keep the display and updates running on a schedule. It may also support more advanced weather sources and optional in-app upgrades, but the basic use case is simply repurposing an Android device as a weather screen for home, office, or bedside placement.
