Hello everyone!
We have released pressureNET 2.1 and are excited to hear your feedback. The app is mostly only useful on devices with barometers, such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 10, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy SIII and Xoom, but all Android 3.0+ devices can run it. We've built a worldwide network of atmospheric pressure measurements and have collected more than 8 million so far. We hope to use the data in order to improve short-term, local weather prediction. If you check out our blog below, you can see a teaser of the incredible resolution we have for events like Hurricane Sandy.
The new update brings important bugfixes and a new UI along with the announcement that we're going to be releasing a fantastic tool within a few days that lets you view all of the data on the web.
You can download pressureNET from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.cumulonimbus.barometernetwork
And see the source code for the app at https://github.com/JacobSheehy/pressureNET and for the server https://github.com/JacobSheehy/pressureNETServer
And if you're looking for more details, check out our blog entry at www.cumulonimbus.ca/pressurenet-2-1/
Thanks and have a nice day!
We have just released our first Data Visualization tool for pressureNET. This is also open source (github.com/JacobSheehy/pressureNETAnalysis) and it lets you view the data that we're collecting.
Until now, it was very difficult for our users to know what kind and what quality of data we were gathering. Now you can go to http://pndv.cumulonimbus.ca and view our archive over the last year. The page shows a couple of datepickers and a google map as controls: move the map around, change the dates and watch the graph load. You'll see a plot of all atmospheric pressure measurements we've collected during the timeframe you specified and within the latitude/longitude grid visible on your map selection.
We are working now with atmospheric scientists to make use of this data in the best way we can. Our primary goal is to improve the state of weather prediction for everyone, especially smartphone users .
Enjoy! And if you have feedback, please let me know. We are working every day (especially during the holidays, since this is all done in our free time) to build the best products we can. Thanks again for your time.
Another quick update for the XDA community: We were recently featured in Wired Magazine!

Hey guys,
I'm not the dev for this one, but it seems like an interesting app to show application analytics from data available in the developer console.
Would be interested to know who's using it/how accurate people are finding it.

It literally uses your developer console it just hides that via page scraping. Its pretty slick though, however, it does have some draw backs such as you can only see comments in your language, right now it has issues seeing more than 9 apps according to the comments, and if you want to track comparisons between your app and apps from other developers this has no way to provide that for you.
Overall its definitely a solid app right now.

It does more than simply screen scrape the developer console. It saves HISTORICAL data. That means it shows you day on day changes in downloads, ratings, and active installs.
Anyway, it's working well for me, and highlighted that someone has spammed my app with 20 1 Star ratings in a single day!
Well yes but thats not how it works thats just what it does with the data after its retrieved. Sorry for the confusion. ;-)

Hello everyone!
I've just built and released pressureNET 2.0, an app that collects user-submitted barometer readings with hopes that I'll be able to use the data to improve short-term, local weather prediction and eventually give users a personalized, 30-minute-range weather forecast. While only the Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Xoom have barometers, all Android devices 3.0+ can run the app and view the map.
Currently we attempt minimal interpretation of the data since we have only about 1,200 active users. However, as we grow our user base we will overlay useful weather information on the map, such as changes in atmospheric pressure over time. This can be correlated with radar imagery to provide improved weather forecasting.
The source code for both the Android app and the server side is on our blog at cumulonimbus.ca. Thanks,
Jacob

Testing now....
I am downloading it now to check it out.
This app is pretty dang cool!! There are a lot more devices with a barometer now. Galaxy Nexus is one of them. Everyone who has a Galaxy Nexus should download this. Once it gets big enough cool things are going to happen from it I'm sure!
The OP has asked me to post the market link:

and his blog post announcing the 2.0 release:

Hi everyone,
I want to update you quickly: we are now receiving almost 500 barometer readings per hour from our users, which means we have grown massively since the launch of 1.0 and even since the 2.0 launch. For some perspective, just two weeks ago we were receiving only 80 per hour.
We really want to grow this to be a large network that will enable us to improve short term weather prediction as well as contribute to collecting global climate data. And so, pressureNET 2.0 has a whole bunch of new features:
- My Info button to show personalized statistics and your recent submission graph
- Log Viewer to see your last day’s worth of submissions
- Pressure tendencies viewable on the widget
- Export user data now available in CSV
- Multiple UI improvements and fixes, including a fully revamped widget
You can read more in the blog post and download the app from the link 0vermind posted above. Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I have just released a free app named TestYou. What is it? An app that offers cute and fun tests to discover new sides of your personality and test your knowledge on a particular topic.
Now is available the Beauty&Wellness test suit, shortly we’ll release many more tests on various topics (we anticipate that they are gonna be about Sports, Fashion&Shopping, Music, Movies and much more).
How clever are you?
TestYou is the test app which has two or more questionnaires for suite on a topic you want to check your training about. Each test consists of 6 questions drawn randomly from a large database, to give every time different pools. At the end of the test your profile will be displayed: if you are not satisfied redo it and find new results!
TestYou:
• is multilanguage (ita – eng)
• has an intuitive and friendly GUI
• is optimized for the last generation devices such as Samsung Galaxy S II
You can find TestYou on Android Market and SlideMe, shortly on GetJar and Mobyhand.
Enjoy it and Merry Christmas!!!
I can't find it?
Hello everybody,
Today I would like to introduce you my weather application (Weather Online) that I'm developing since eight months in my free time. The idea of such an application came from a personal need to know the detailed weather over several days to a specific point anywhere in the world.
Indeed, in addition to accurate weather for a specific point, such an application can be very useful when you want to go on weekend or holiday, by giving us an idea about the kind of clothes to take or outright if it is not better to cancel the stay, etc., and thus avoid surprises once there.
The main features:
• Detailed 9 days forecasts (morning / afternoon / evening / night)
• Temperatures and also feels like temperatures, wind speed and direction, atmospheric pressure, cloud cover, precipitation levels, humidity and fog
• Sunrise and sunset
• Sunrise and moonset and moon phases
• Different ways to search and add cities to your favorites list
If you wish, you can go to the Google Play Store to get more details on my application, and then install it on your Android phone.
Don't be afraid, it's FREE!
Link: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nanosoft.android.weatherfree
If you find any errors, defects, dysfunctions, or even if you see some interesting improvements that could be useful, don't hesitate to let me know on the forum or contact me at my email address [email protected]
I thank you for your participation in helping me in improving my project, or even to give me your first impressions, and also if my application can serve you, I'd be happier yet.
PS1: If you like the application, please feel free to share it with your friends, or even to rate it with 5 stars
PS2: New features are currently under development and will soon be available.
Top Picks: Betting Tips
The app provides the best betting tips and preview predictions for sports. The main focus is on soccer picks but occasionally there are also picks for tennis games, basketball and ice hockey matches.
Our selection of betting picks is based on experts research and analysis of statistics.
We also use a little bit of help from artificial intelligence and machine learning.
However apart from the complicated algorithms and calculations there are many different things that could have big impact on the match and completely change the game scenario. Therefore we take into account other bits and pieces such as:
previous games from historical data
current form and fitness
general motivation to win within the team
missing players and injuries
weather conditions
Key Features of the App
betting tips are provided on a daily basis, depending on the market availability
each pick include date, discipline, theoretical odds and sometimes name of the competition or league
configurable odds format where you can choose from American, Decimal or Fractional odds
automatic push notifications whenever sport picks are available, you can disable it in the settings
monthly statistics where you can check how successful are our predictions by tracking things such as yield, average odds and profit
you can share sport picks with friends via different communication channels
