Weather Station Pro
Most Android devices still do not have a barometer, ambient thermometer, or hygrometer. See the (probably incomplete) COMPATIBILITY list below for devices that this app is useful with.
This app does not simulate ambient temperature based on cpu or battery temperature and does not provide faux readings or internet based readings. There is zero internet/network usage; internet/network permissions are never requested. We respect your privacy and have no desire to profit off of your data.
For those who desire more, consider donating by purchasing Weather Station Pro. PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE FREE VERSION OF WEATHER STATION FIRST to make sure your device has the sensors for the types of readings you want.

I paid for the premium version of this application simply because the free version works so beautifully and does not require subversive permissions. No ads, no junk, accurate rains of the sensors that my phone contains. (Whether or not those sensors are providing accurate data is my phone's problem, though so far there have been no issues.)
IMHO, not really worth it. I bought it to have more exact measurement, however, temperature calibration for battery does not work reliably on my Samsung S4. with "experimental" feature enabled, it shows 5-7 degrees less than mercury thermometer. other than that, it's almost the same thing as the free version.
Good app, works great BUT Widgets are ugly and temperamental. Font size and orientation is ugly and can't be configured properly. Why centered texts in Widgets? Colour are out of wack, there is no minimalistic setup and elegance. Font sizes are crude. No way to change fonts. "Everything you are complaining about is customizable":- NO IT IS NOT- can't change bold fonts, or font type, centered text cannot be left or right aligned, colour icons cannot be changed. Waits for GPS lock and not install widget.
I updated my xperia z2 to android lollipop then it cannot read temp sensor anymore. Other sensors are ok
There is a bug in this version that causes high Cpu usage and drains the battery quicker. Used clean master to identify why my phone was over heating
Director. Can't get anything to work on my Samsung Note 2
Galaxy S7 clearly has a temp sensor and humidity sensor. Go do some reseach devs. Why your application does not support it who knows. You should fix it quick and u might make some more $$$. Until then im getting my refund..
A good learning tool thanks.
Paid for pro version. Stipped working so uninstalled . Went to reinstal and its askongme to pay again
the pressure widget shows N/A after the pie update
This is a great app. What I like: I like the fact you can get easy access to measurements with the widgets. The App is very configurable and the developer is responsive to Emails (most important). Improvements: I would like to be able to zoom in on the graph.
Makes you phone a portable weather station. It is not a forecasting app. It gathers raw data from device sensors. Good job.
Works great on my galaxy note 3.
Currently 48 degrees and raining. App says it's 85 degrees with pressure rising. Seems like there is an issue with the app. I like the idea. Too bad it doesn't work.
It seems that everything else is a cheap clone. Active development on this one from simple to involved but easy to use. Well done, dev!
Even though the Note 3 is slow to respond to changes, this app is very useful.
The main reason I downloaded this app was to be able to get readings on my ambient conditions. It has served that purpose well. There have been numerous times when I've prepared for weather by looking at it's readings.
Best weather app I have used. Humidity reading makes it so but I think it may be limited to note 3 and s4 only. Check your compatability first.
I bought a Galaxy S4 just because of this app. Seriously. Once I found out the S4 had all the sensors, and I wanted to use this app, it became an easy decision. Never got the free version, but the pro version is well worth it. I was actually trying to figure out how to donate more in hopes that more cool stuff could be added somehow. I've been playing with it for the past 3 days and I keep finding new stuff. It's amazing.
Love this app. Very accurate, no bugs, does everything it claims. Keep up the good work.
I wanted to be alerted to temperature changes that could effect my sleeping baby. As Tasker doesn't yet support temperature events I tried this app, and it works a treat.
I have been using the free version for a few days and love it. The author deserves recognition so I bought the pro version (very good price!).
Seems as thou it was well worth it
Never could get it to display or read outside temp. Very disappointed.
I get no data at all. There's not even an option to select the source for the weather data?? Also, where's rain information?
