Aviation Software (avitation weather/aviation calculator)?

Hi guys, I´m looking for some aviation software, espacially a weather program that shows METAR, TAF and SPECI weather reports of aerodromes by the ICAO location indicator codes.
Additionally I´m looking for an aviation calculator, some kinda E6B thing or so...
Concerning the weather thing it might be also easy for a skilled programmer to create a little app, because you can grap the necessary weather information easily by the web. There are certain sites like
weather.noaa.gov/weather/coded.html
or
de.allmetsat.com/metar-taf/index.html
and several others (via google)
that offer the needed weather information...
Regards,
insi

I want this too, plenty apps available for iphone...

Plz
Can someone plz make an apps for this service - I really need one.....

Is this something you would pay for/there is a market for?
Also where does this information come from? Can it be easily syndicated?
Let me know and I might be able to cook something up (though it may take a little while).

I would give $10,- for an aviation weather-app!

Google is your friend. Search for WXSYS That prog should do it.

Yes, it looks good.
However, after entering my e-mail address, I still can not send any query.
It does not work for me.

No problem on my HD2 with EDDF. It even gave me satellite images

there is definately a market for that ;-) And I would pay for this kinda app - I think I would pay up to 40 Euro for it.
I know wxsys very well but for german aerodromes, especially the smaller ones it is quite bad...
regards, insi

Hrm,
Ok, maybe I need to canvas an aviation forum to see what kind of response I get.
This is something I might be interested in developing but it might take a little while. I'll keep you posted.

Something similar to aeroweather on the iphone would be great.. Count me in and my $10!! flyingmarvo

Maybe you could have a look at SBSH PocketWeather. It includes METAR aso. Using it for quite a long time. Don't know if that's the right thing for you - maybe a beginning...

After migrating from an iPhone, i am desperately waiting for something along the lines of PilotWizz.
It was great for Calculations, and decodes the latest weather (TAFs and METARs) for easy and simple viewing.
TBH im fairly disappointed with whats on offer on WM in general....hope someone is able to sort something out!!!

I´ve been using the program that´s been said before with good results for Europe:

I´ve been searching for a snowtam program but without succes too..

Does anybody know a program to log flighttime (with a/c registration, callsign, flighttime, date of flight if possible)?

Looking for Twitter client with widget

I have tried almost every application available on market (in Sweden) but none supports widget in free version.
The purpose in looking for new apps for both Twitter and Facebook is that I'm tired of timescape and replacing it with two separate applications..
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I have also tried many free twitter apps.
I have to say that Twicca was the most suitable for me. Leaving running on background, and set interval to half hour, i get the most updates trough the notification. Also there is a widget, to bad it doens't show the last post/reaction of your following, but you have a nice neat set of buttons to make directly your own pic, search user, watch all the posts of your following.
The most best of all is that twicca can post your GPS location and post a pic directly from camera, or search your phone for a picture/movie or record a movie.
Twicca is on my phone for a month now... Still happy with it, only to save my battery drain i always kill the app when i am done xD

Im not into Tweeter that much.
Try these out. Didn't test by myself.

Tweetrait - A Twitter Widget
TweetMeep
Twitmemo

I recommend using the twicca app..I like it and it has a widget too.
It has a clean UI and is fast.

I am using tweetcaster version 1.9 by handmark. I actually preferred twiccas twitter interface just a tiny bit better than tweetcasters, but tweetcasters widget blows twiccas out of the water. The widget is 4x2 and has a text input bar for directly tweeting from the home screen, it also has your latest tweet from your feed on the homescreen, with a button to play your twitter feed, skip ahead to the next tweet, or back to the previous one (if not your most recent). It is the most useful twitter widget i have been able to find (on a free app) and the usefulness of the widget pushes it above all the other twitter apps I have tried. I have not bought any of the premium twitter apps to try their widgets (touitter, twidroid, etc.) so cant really comment on those.
Look for tweetcaster, if its available in your region, and give it a try. it is free after all, so cant hurt to try.

+1 for tweetcaster. Love it.

I use Twicca too, really like it.

[Q] [POLL] Favourite Twitter App

Twicca, Seesmic before

Using Touiteur and Twidroyds image viewer

Tweetcaster forever!

trying out Tweetdeck (lots of potential there).
Twicca's still my goto.

Touiteur, 100%.

Was TweetCaster until yesterday's services issues caused me to look elsewhere. In that time I fell in love with Touiteur.

Touiteur!

touiteur - ALL THE WAY! Great with all the updates!

The official Twitter app.
Why?
It supports everything; from my personal timeline to lists I follow. It comes with a widget which isn't that great (4*2 or 4*1) but thanks to its support for notifications; I don't use the widget.
Review and screenshots can be found here.

Instead of just posting the client you use, it would be nice if everyone could say WHY this your personal favorite...

Official Twitter app for me

Tweetdeck Beta!

I have that apk...whats ur email..i'll send it to you..

Tweetdeck beta. Awesome app
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I was a TweetCaster diehard but Twicca you have won me over with your color coding ways, ability to edit my twitter lists, and most importantly remembering my feed position when I turn the phone off and then turn it back on...sadly I could never get TweetCaster to do that :-(
If you like pretty bubble UIs though tweetcaster's is really nice plus the have a nearby tweets feature which is really cool.
I am surprised to see the official did so well since at launch you couldnt even do something as basic as view your follow and following lists

Touiteur,
Reasons why;
Coloured tweets are great and I can quickly associate the colour with the person when scrolling through a great big list.
Very smooth
Notifications
Dark theme looks more professional than others
Reasons Against;
Sometimes have issues with viewing profiles, get a Read error or something.
Small price to pay!

Hey Guys
I got some of these cheap, so im going to be giving one to a random member of the community. But then that would be just TOO easy giving it away. So, i'm asking you to post your favourite modification or application for Froyo 2.2 JPH firmware.
Post An:
- Application
- Game
- Theme (For TouchWiz)
- Modification
or anything else you can think of that I would like. This is open to UK members only because I ain't shipping to outside countries that would cost me alot of money to post. Other members can still participate as I will be giving one person £2.00.GBP on PayPal to another member that is not in the UK. Picture of the case below!

What a VERY nice gesture, well done!!
It makes such a NICE change to read something like this post instead of the normal stuff that goes on.
If Im honest I could never post a favourite ANYTHING!! theres just so much and its all good.
Keep up the good work and once again, well done for doing this.

Think of it this way, if you had your JPH firmware, and you could only install ONE third party app, mod or things like that, what would you install? And i'm giving one or two of these away because I have learned alot here, made my phone awesome (Just like I did my Nokia 5800), and now giving something back!

Go on then, Ill have a go
So I go and look at my phone, on there are the things I cannot live without like:
Android Manager
Audio Manager
Beautiful Widgets
Dropbox
Handcent SMS
London Tube Live
National Rail
Home Switcher
Screen On
Shazzam
SMS Backup and Restore
Simply Lockscreen
Tweetcaster
WiFi Analyzer
There all the apps I ALWAYS install on any rom I have installed...
Think Beutiful Widgets is the top??
Maybe SMS Backup and Restore 2nd, I like to have my SMS backed up when messing with roms.
There ya go.. if I chnage my mind Ill edit it LOL
TrOjAn

not the most productive suggestion but the only app/game i seem to use on a daily basis is:
Lets Golf from gameloft.
it really is good fun and very addictive - and i also purchased this phone on its gaming potential over anything else.
i also play superheroes alliance daily but thats more of a thing to do when i have 5 mins free (add me jtjih)
also very nice gesture

Home Screen App - Launcher X Pro
Game - Angry Birds

3/4 repilies, leaving it until tomorrow night to decide!

Adam if it helps decide I love you lol.... could swap you a child even choice of 2, both make tea <jk>

New Vlingo App

I was chosen to do a survey of two different versions of the new Vlingo app, so I got some screenshots. Wondered what you guys think of the new version of the app that will soon be released in a month or so..
Version 1:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Version 2:
I love the new interfaces, not sure which version they will go with. That's the reason they wanted us to give feedback. I love the humor of the "way too loud" screen.
And no I will not share an APK, so please don't ask. I'm under very strict rules. Sorry guys. Which I could.

This much nicer than the old one.
I would love to try this.

looks a lot better

I think version 1 looks the best from a ui standpoint. Interested to see how the new release works
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

Looks really great - though would love to see a dark theme. Also hoping they've incorporated new features such as the equilavent of google's "listen to". Vlingo tends to be more accurate I've found.
I can't make up my mind over which version I prefer - both look great.

the UI looks beautiful, any ETA?

Version 1 for me.
Version 2's UI reminds me of the Edwin interface.

Personally i am happy with any UI... cuz i just HOLD the search key to run Vlingo... just curious about the features...
so in this new version, it seems you have more options as to what you can tell vlingo to do...
is this correct?
can you maybe list some features?

Yep. Through voice commands it can post facebook and twitter statuses (possibly other social services down the road.. who knows), it can send sms, emails, and can make phone calls, open up google searches, it can open up google maps and navigation with specific addresses and such (eg. "Navigate to 1313 Mockingbird Lane"), and it can open other applications.
As for the ETA, not completely sure. Could be another month or more.

excellent apps have been using it lately.
Like the 1st version but would prefer a darker theme as vlingo is most used app on my phone.

Version 1.
Love to have a widget that is customizable (transparent background, different colors, layouts, etc.)

niiiiiice....,

I prefer version 1. However both do look a lot cleaner then the current version.
