Unsurprinsingly. The crooks at rainviewer.com retrieve public radar data to sell various services on top on their closed app. They definitely do not want competition... Someone would need to do the same, retrieve public data, and write an open source code. Sadly, this sailfish app was doomed from day 0 :-(

The app stops showing the radar data, maps loading works still, but no precipitation data loads, app shows version 0.20 in settings, although 0.3.1 is installed. Someone reported this also on Chum. Any chance to get your wonderful app functional again?
It was so cute to have a working native rain radar app.

This app is really good. Can you maybe in the future also include lightning strikes, like in https://github.com/wuan/bo-android ?

thanks, however i did not find an open api for lightning strikes, bo-android requires some kind of registration if i read correctly.

This is a brilliant app, and I'm very glad you've made it. Initially I couldn't get the map to load, but clicking the 'play' button started it up and its worked great ever since. The only thing its missing now is the option to set the startup location so that I don't have to find my way home from Helsinki every time. Well done!

Thanks, i think i will make it safe the last used location and use that on startup.
But for now it also should jump to your location, once you get a gps fix.
