Rainy Days 1.7 released

Update: I've released 1.8 to fix a force close issue when loading the European overlay.

Another update to Rainy Days, my weather radar application for Android! This version features a few new options and fixes.

First of all, it is now possible to change the opacity of the clouds using the on-screen slider, for example if you like to see the map better. This is a per session setting, which means that the normal opacity is restored the next time you start the app.

There's also a new option to show your location on top of the radar images if you like.

Another change is that Rainy Days is now scaling properly on high dpi devices like the Droid and the Nexus and on lower dpi devices such as the HTC Tatoo. Short summary: it should now look a little bit better :) Also, on high dpi devices the image quality for Scandinavia and the US will be slightly better, reducing blur that was in the previous versions. Rainy Days will automatically select the higher quality images if your device supports it.

I hope you like this new version! Also if you like other areas to be added, let me know!

First I want to say what an splendid app this is, when I first discovered it I used it loads. However recently I have been having issues with FCs each time I open the app. Strange as I havent changed anything and there have been no updates for Rainy Days! Any ideas? I have a HTC Hero. Thanks

Hi Rich, I got one other report of crashing and I'm working on a fix. Could you contact me at android at neenbedankt dot com to confirm it is the same bug?

Great app - shows radar on location like I've wanted, but not as bulky and full of advertisements like WeatherBug is. I also like the looping capability very much. My only thought for improvement would be the possibility of loading higher resolution images from some individual radar sites, or even finding a higher resolution source for the USA NEXRAD imagery. I might have a few ideas, if you are interested.
