Every weather app has something that grates: ads, telemetry, three taps to reach the one number you opened it for. I wrote MyTeo to have none of that, and before it goes out on Google Play I need people who will actually use it.
What it does
It talks to Open-Meteo and nothing else. No ads, no analytics, no trackers, no account to create. It asks for your location only when you tap the button, and only the approximate one.
It keeps an hour of cache, so it still says something sensible when there's no signal. There's the Umbrellometer, which, if you turn it on, tells you once a day when the chance of rain goes above the threshold you chose, and there's a home screen widget.
What I'm asking testers
To publish a new app from a personal account, Google Play first asks for two weeks of closed testing. I need the people for that test.
I'm asking for three things: install it, use it for two weeks the way you'd use any weather app, and write to me at [email protected] about what's wrong. Small things too: a word that doesn't make sense, an icon that doesn't match the sky outside your window.
How to become a tester
- You email me and tell me the Google account you use on your phone.
- I add you to the testers list on Google Play.
- I send you the link to join the test.
- You install MyTeo from the Play Store, like any other app.
If you change your mind, you leave the test from the same page the link opens, and uninstall the app.
