    @isazi - unfortunately my wife refuses to move eletronically like that, so would get a text/whatsapp with it, assuming I have connectivity in the store.

        Don’t know yet but it doesn’t seem bad, I typically charge 1x per day anyway.

          I found a fantastic Altimeter/Barometer app that was posted on another thread here, sorry for not looking up the reference. It has a storm alert and tiles. This one has to be side loaded with adb tools, easy on a Mac or PC. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-alti-barometer-app-w-tile-auto-calibration-notifications-and-more.4136449/

          I also like it, but found that the storm alert goes off when taking a cable car up the mountain… Something in the code needs to be improved…

            Wearable widgets (install on watch and phone) - you can then set one of your tiles to wearable widgets. Then on the phone set a widget you have that you have on your phone you would like to see on your watch - and hey presto that is now available on watch.
            Basically casts it to the watch.

                @jamie-bg you can have several weather radars in one tile. I love this app. 👍

                By the way, the most precise weather app for me is Regen Vorschau, with an arrow showing the real time until the rain will start. Wind and satellite view are included too. For Germany only.

                    I really need to get back into Android development. Time to learn kotlin I think!

                        @isazi all new projects at work are currently using Kotlin so I’ll be using it sooner or later. I haven’t had a chance to work with it myself yet as I’m still mostly working on the legacy systems written in Java. I’ve been reading their PRs though and I see a lot I like in Kotlin.

                          This article is interesting on what might be possible with an update, and it refers to the S7 and its potential: https://the5krunner.com/2021/03/13/wear-os-custom-tiles-soon-watch-out-apple-watch-faces/

                              @egika it’s installed on the smartphone and via widget available as tile on the S7.

                                @egika - sounds like its for GMBH only, and may be limited to that playstore only.
                                Try using a web browser - often find that works great, and often enables you to load without needing phone (if app doesn’t require phone app to be installed too - if does need phone app, will advise you when you start app, and pull up the app in the phone’s play store, making it quick and easy to install).

                                          With wearable widgets it is possible to have more widgets on one tile on the S7.

                                          Android phone with wearable widgets is necessary.

                                          On the phone configure for your S7 the widgets you want to have on the tile on the S7. I choose two weather apps, one with a live radar and the other with a rain forecast.

                                          In WearOS app on the phone add the tile “phone widget” to your preferred widgets.

                                          Then you will get the configured widget from the phone app on the tile of the S7.

                                          A few pictures will show the process. Two pictures are showing the tile with two widgets, I can swipe between the two weather apps on the one tile.
