Yay! For various reasons it has taken me a while to update Rainy Days, but now I’m pleased to let you know that I’ve just released version 2.0!
One of the top requests and bug report was that for the US the radar images sometimes where “cut off”, for example on large screen phones such as the EVO and tablets. I’ve now fixed this technical limitation and in fact changed a lot on how Rainy Days loads the images. A direct result of this is that the “loading” screen is gone forever, just like the “refresh” button. Rainy Days will now automatically refresh the images, to save you the hassle.
Radar images are now also more up to date and, depending on the zoom levels, load faster. There is no more distinction between high dpi devices and low dpi devices.
Another issue some of you run into is the location that is reported. Sometimes network location just isn’t accurate enough so I’ve added an option to also use GPS. You can find this option in the settings.
As for coverage: Puerto Rico was added and a big overlay from Eumetsat, covering places in Europe and Africa, really cool!
I hope you like the update, as always, feedback is very much appreciated.
