Australian weather radar images from the Bureau of Meteorology shown in a widget
Show Australian weather radar images in a widget. Radar images directly from the Bureau of Meteorology are shown in a widget on your device. Select the radar station and zoom level and you're done. Support multiple simultaneous widgets.
Free, no ads, light on system resources, and easy to use. What more could you want? ;)
NOTE: This is a widget. After install, go into your apps list, select the 'widgets' tab (not 'apps'), and add a widget of type 'BOM radar'. After configuration hold on the widget to enter resize mode, the widget can be resized to any dimensions.
PERMISSIONS: Network access to load the images. Play store billing for (optional) IAP donate function. Device start notification so it can start the alarm to update the widget.
This is not an official BOM app - it's a fan-made widget.
To come in future versions:
- UI overhaul. I know it's very bare-bones at the moment, but you don't need to use it after you setup the widget as the image is the only UI you see regularly.
