The Galaxy S4 and Note 3 are the only Android devices right now with ambient temperature and humidity sensors. This Weather Station app I developed (free and with no ads) utilizes these sensors and additional ones to the full delight of amateur and pro meteorologists:

----------
String resources from this app are attached for translation only. Do not assume you can use them in your own app without talking to me. If you want to use the strings in a revenue generating app please pm or email me beforehand for permission.
----------
Translating strings and arrays in res.zip:
All who help with translations will be acknowledged in the app. The res/values directory contains the files strings_localizable.xml and arrays_localizable.xml with the English (US) words and phrases that would need to translated. As an example here is how the translation to Brazilian Portuguese worked:
Step 1) Copy the strings_localizable.xml and arrays_localizable.xml files from res/values to another location.
Step 2) Complete the translation of the words and phrases inside the xml tags.
Example 1:
<string name="app_name">Weather Station</string>
becomes
<string name="app_name">Estação Meteorológica</string>
Example 2:
<string-array name="pref_notifications_when_entries">
<item>Rising</item>
<item>Falling</item>
</string-array>
becomes
<string-array name="pref_notifications_when_entries">
<item>Subindo</item>
<item>Caindo</item>
</string-array>
Step 3) The translated files are placed into a new directory inside the res directory called values-pt (or values-pt-rBR). I can take care of this last step I just need to know what language it is and if it is limited to a regional dialect.
Works in other devices?

That's cool. I'm going to give it a go.
works good on i9500, loving it , gr8 work!!!
why always with the crappy "auto start" on phone boot?

The pressure will work on any device that has a barometer (e.g. Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, etc). The temp and humidity will only work on a Galaxy S4 b/c it is the only device right now with a ambient thermometer and hygrometer.

As I explain in the Google Play listing, the auto start permission is to run a very short service to re-set the alarm so background readings can be taken. The service only runs for a split second and then kills itself. If you disable background readings the service won't run on restart.
I am very interested in knowing how accurate the temperate sensor is working on the S4. Can someone test this out with a dedicated temperature reader and tell me how accurate it is or how off it is in Fahrenheit? Thanks.
if u can add a temp warning notification , then it will be perfect...
like i am able to set it to warn if the temp goes over xx degree..
Oh thanks mate! I got these readings, first is in my home and second is from outside. That second is littlebit weird because internet shows that there is only +4 celsius.

How long were you outside for? Perhaps the phone needed to stay outside longer in order to read the temperature correctly (away from other heat sources like yourself or the sun)?? Or worst case scenario is that the S4 temp sensor is not that accurate (we would need to find some specs on the sensors that Samsung is using).
Adjust Temperature
Is there any way to calibrate the temp sensor.?
Currently most readying are way higher than actual readings
I spent half an hour trying to find out why the thank you button is not available for me but couldn't find out why.
Thank You.Vry nice app.

About 10minutes. Maybe i need to try later, but usually i'm outside only 5-10minutes when i walk to train station or to grocery shop.

This was debated by me when I was making the app and I decided not to include it (but may put it in a future release if it is greatly demanded). The logic is that the temperature sensors are supposed to be calibrated to high accuracy at the factory and should not lose accuracy over time. Thus the "actual reading" you are referring to IS the actual reading that the thermometer on the phone is reporting. If it is higher than another thermometer nearby, it is higher for a reason (probably because of your body temperature heating the sensor, or the sun, or some other reason). The question is why fudge that?
i guess your mobile must be in your pocket.. try expose it to the weather..

This will be in the next release.
I've noticed that the temperature on the S4 is always higher. The reason is probably that the S4 is a heat source in itself! Unless the temperature sensor is incredibly well insulated from the rest of the phone then it will always be affected. I might test this and take a reading but only after having left the phone off for some time like 30 minutes (to let it cool sufficiently) then switch it on and take the reading before too much heat has built up in the device.

Hi everybody,
I would like to present you my new app. If like me you forgot everything, I'm sure you will enjoyed it
It's called Goldfish Memory, so the goal is quite obvious It's a todo list, but a todo list mostly based on the location. I've noticed that when I've something to do, I know where to do it (at home, work, when leaving the subway, etc.) most than when to do it.
So with Goldfish Memory, when you create a new task you can set it a place and when you arrive at this place, you will receive an alert that you have something to do, whatever the time. Next, you can ask to be alerted again in 5 minutes or the next time you will come back to this place. It's quite simple and you can set any address you want.
As it's a todo list you can also simply define a date and hour at when you want to be alerted. If you combine both date and location, you will only be alerted when you arrived at the defined location, the day you've setted or, at the latest, at the hour defined.
It's a nice and simple app and I've just finished it so I would be happy if people try it and more if people like it ! Don't hesitate to give feedback (goods or bads) !
The app doesn't use GPS (too slow, not battery-friendly), only network location. The algorithm adapt itself to the current accuracy (which vary a lot) in order to find when to trigger a task. So don't worry, it will not drain your battery and it will work even inside buildings or underground.
The next fonctionnalities I've planned to implement are :
- synchronisation with some online todo list services (Google Tasks, RTM, etc...)
- add action buttons directly in the notification on Jelly Bean
- the possibility to repeat a task every days/weeks/months
- improve the algorithm for triggering a location-based task using the speed
- and more !
If you have other ideas, I would be glad to hear them.
It's free and on the Play Store so, if you are interested, you can try it now : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fourmob.geotasks
Great idea and app...but lets face it. GPS lock is slow on most devices and it kinda stops the whole purpose of this app. Now apart from that its a whole lot better then the paid apps that just give normal to do lists. Good job

Hi, thanks for your comment.
You're totally right, that's why I don't use GPS, only network location : always available and battery friendly. Accuracy isn't always great but I've made a small algorithm that adapts itself to the current accuracy. I tweak it regulary to improve it, it's also why I'm looking for feedback. I'm quite happy of it for now.

Great job, great idea, great design. :good:
Like gmaster1 said, its better than all paid apps I tried. Moreover, its free and without ads (very enjoyable).
Sometimes, Goldfish alerts me too far from the location I set. Not too bad because I snooze for 5 minutes later but it could be better! It would be interesting to accurate the position with real GPS fix. You can do this occasionally, randomly (with a heuristic) or thanks to an algorithm. What do you think about that ?

Thanks for you comment
Due to the network location provider used by the app, accuracy can vary a lot (from 200/500m to 1500m) so, with my algorithm, the trigger radius varies with the accuracy. I prefer that the app alerts you too early that never. If it's too early, you can always snooze it like you said.
But I'm actively working on this part. In a future release, I think the app will sometimes turn on the GPS or Wifi in order to have a better accuracy. I'm still working on when to do that and it will be optional because I know a lot a people don't like that apps turn on/off sensors without asking. So, stay tuned
very good and user friendly design. I like the app and its very helpfull

Thank you very much !
To be user friendly its one of my main goals. I've tried a lot of todo lists and if I've ended up making my own it's also because they tend to have too much options. In the end, they are more organizers than todo list. But me, I only need a todo list. So : Goldfish Memory
I like the orange fonds but try using the Light theme which is a white backround. It may look better than the black. Or give the user the option to switch between several as I dont particularly like blackish backrounds

Why not. I will try it in a future release. Maybe an option to change the widget background too. Thanks !
Ok. Had it for 3 days now and no probs but...the widget. I feel it should be resizeable on ics (like fb widget on ics tablets) im not sure if this is too much to ask but its just that when i only have 1 task the rest of the space take up too much space i could use for other widgets. Maybe a small scrollable widget would be easier to make then resizable. So i can have the big widget when i need it and a small one when i want it. Or maybe widget buttons that keeps the widget small but changes current task the widget shows with 2 buttons. And maybe (just as a widget extra) add +task , delete task and edit task buttons for a better widget ui (the app ui its self is great)

Thanks for the feedback.
Yes, the widget is definitly something that will evolve in future releases. But, it is already resizable. Do you mean that it should be more resizable horizontally ?
Scrollable widget is already planned. Concerning more actions directly in the widget, I will think on how to integrate that.
I've planned a new release for the end of the week, so I will try to add the widget stuff in the next one.
This is an amazing idea. I love the concept and design of it. I have never really use any task reminder app before, but if i want to use one, that will be this app.
Thanks for developing and sharing the app here

At which point it failed ? Are you using the quick task button or do you use the full form ? It's a strange bug because the only thing I can see now is that the app can't access to the internet (needed to make the translation from the coordinates to an human address). Do you have ICS with a quota for the network data ?
don't need this app. but came in to show support. this app looks so beautiful. awesome job on the design. flawless by the screenshots.

Yet Another Auto Brightness (YAAB)
A small open source application designed to enhance user control over screen brightness. Initially it was developed to make the screen as dim as possible to save battery on old devices. AND to provide a simplest possible user interface without any complicated calibration procedures and so on.
It is Beta version now. It has ascetic interface and very simple in use.
Source code, issue tracker and latest APKs are available here: http://bitbucket.org/gyrussolutions/yaab/
Google Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=biz.gyrus.yaab
Any feedback is highly appreciated, especially from other Android developers
Tester initial impressions
A nice small download and a simple and clean interface. Started service and it immediately started dimming my brightness. A few points to begin with:
The manual slider does not seem to work as there was no change in the brightness.
It doesn't seem to alter the brightness in different lighting (unsure if it is supposed to do this or not from documentation).
It is making my screen too dim, I have a GT-I9300 and the auto brightness on it is excellent and always keeps my screen at the good readable and useable settings.
Will run for an hour or so now and update this with further thoughts then.
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------
Ok it's keeping my screen to dim to be usable so have had to uninstall for now. A few further points though:
Application Force Closes when you stop the serverce.
The manual slider does not work.
Handset - GT-I9300
ROM - Paranoid Android 2.51
OK log wouldn't upload, here's a link for it on dropbox.

Good report, thanks a lot.
Looks like the app incorrectly reads light sensor data on your device and thus brings brightness to minimum.
I'm working on the issue now.

I did some research tonight and found out that many people have concerns about light sensor behaviour in your ROM.
I wrote a very simple app that shows sensor parameters on the screen and displays all subsequent updates received from the sensor.
APK is here: https://bitbucket.org/gyrussolutions/lightreader/downloads (sources are available there also)
It doesn't require changing settings and it will not attempt to change screen parameters also. Minimal discomfort
Could you please run it on your device and post here its output in a dark room and under strong light?
Thanks.

Bright light:

I've not read much in relation to sensor issues on this ROM, will do some digging myself now. Hope this information is useful to you.

I have just done some digging and found no Liight sensor issues mention in the CM10 threads or known bug list. There was a light sensor issues back in September for Paranoid Android but this was fixed back then. Where have you seen the information about peoples concerns with the light sensor?
I have attached a link to the CM10 known issues bellow.
http://teamhacksung.org/wiki/index.php/CyanogenMod10:GT-I9300:Nightly:Known_issues
I saw several mentiones of light sensor problems here on the forum, like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801837&postcount=2862 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801837&postcount=2862
Some other mentiones on other forums/blogs.
But anyway your readings are very good, so the sensor isn't a culprit any longer.
I just had to make sure that the app has valid input data and the problem is somewhere in the algorythms. Because in the log file you submitted yesterday contains very strange values.
Thanks again. I'm going on with my investigation.

Yeah those were two months ago and the bug was fixed in a few days, there have been about 10 version updates since then as well.

Maybe you should restrict app installation to devices that have a light sensor? Because Google Play allows me to install it even tho I don't have one.
HTC Wildfire S (Marvel)
Works as intended on HTC Wildfire S (Marvel) 510e.
Brightness is applied 1/2 secconds after screen is on and with correct levels acording to the external light and manual adjusment seting.
I like the simplicity (pls don't change that) and, so far, I didn't noticed any bad impact on battery life.
I'm curently on custom SENSE 2.1 rom but I switch often so will test this one on them too.
Tnx,

We are working on automatic/manual "night reading" mode and manual range adjustments now, but we intend to keep the main screen and the defaults in this way, so most of the users would not even need to open menus and dig deeper into the settings.

I've uploaded current version to the downloads section: https://bitbucket.org/gyrussolutions/yaab/downloads
Check this one please when you have time.
To be honest I still don't know why did it set brightness to minimum on your phone and didn't ever rise it again.
But your log revealed a number of thread synchronization issues that I fixed in this version. I believe there could be connection between these issues and your dark screen.
UI is a bit different, it is my current development version. But start/stop buttons still do the same.
Don't wait long, 10-15 seconds is enough, if it doesn't track ambient light changes right from the beginning - it will not start after some minutes.
Thanks.
Hi andrvo,
Yaab works on my Nexus 7. It is also very easy to use. But I have two remarks.
First the app starts in portrait and I only use me tablet in horizontal view. The app not only starts in portrait, it does also not change to horizontal. This would be nice, if the app would start with mentioning the position.
The other point is, that it only needs one more option in my case. There is automatic and manual brightness. If I can use the manual slider in the automatic mode to set a basic brightness, this would be handy. Hope you know what I mean.
Thanks for your work. Would be nice to find Yaab on Google Play to get updates automatically.
Thanks, checking it out...

Well, it works almost as you describe. "Manual adjustment" actually set the base line for the automatic brightness formula.

Everything looks working. Closing the sensor with my hand causing the screen light dim.
Not sure what idea I can give though, probably you can check 'smart stay' feature at Samsung S3/Note 2. Although it's not a screen auto-brightness thing but it have same objective about saving battery from screen consumption.

Version 1.6 is rolling out to the Play store.
What's new:
night mode, manual and automatic. The latter will work only on new devices with high quality sensors which are able to provide accurate values in the lower part of the range. Manual works on any device.
range controls added. Now it is possible to shrink the actual range of automatic brightness values.
bugfix (of course)
Beta testing is still going on, all testers are welcome.
Fresh APK is also available here: https://bitbucket.org/gyrussolutions/yaab/downloads
"Should I Wear Pants?" is a novelty weather app that takes your location, gender, and temperature preferences, retrieves your local weather, and lays out for you what to wear.
In addition to the novelty, it really does save me time in the morning - I was surprised, we conceived it as just a fun little novelty thing. Previously, I'd go to the office, turn on my computer, go online to look up the weather, and infer what to wear; now, I no longer need to even enter my office in the morning. I suppose this is mitigated if you have a decent weather app already, but I never really found one I liked that much. Those also don't tell you what to wear
We tried to make the default temperature preferences sane, but they're easy to adjust.
Link:
Free version
Basic features:
Jacket versus T-shirt
Pants versus shorts
Temperature preferences for all available slots
Temperature units preference - Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin
Optionally, fun holiday outfits on major holidays (US holidays, that is - for those outside the US, we're open to adding outfits for your holidays, we just don't have them yet)
Premium features (in addition to everything in the free version):
Sunglasses
Hat
Gloves
Umbrella
Shoes versus flip-flops
Swagger mode - this, like Swagger Mode in AOKP, is a surprise
"I wear my sunglasses at night" mode - this is fairly self-explanatory
This isn't exactly a feature, but the premium version also doesn't have advertisements; the free version does
Upcoming features (in approximately the order we're going to do them):
Solar position during the day - a graphical indicator of the sun's position
Long-sleeve shirts - these would be used at some point between T shirts and jackets; possibly have a setting to control what point that would be
A dew point setting for flip-flops - nobody likes walking around in cold, wet grass with open footwear
A setting to weight the average we take between the low and high temperatures for the Today and Tomorrow tabs
Some live wallpapers with weather and/or wardrobe information
Home screen widgets - one per "slot" from the main screen
Changelog:
1.5.0 - 2012-12-20
Both versions
Added the capability for users to specify their location. To do this:
Open the preferences screen
Under "ABOUT YOU", uncheck "Use Current Location"
The "Location" option will be made available - open this to set your location.
Refer to the Help topic called "Specifying Your Location" for more information on supported formats, etc.
Added Christmas outfits; these will run from the 23rd to the 27th if you're in Calendar Fun mode.
Fixed a number of small issues with location and weather detection.
This was made possible by some new automated testing; we now have approximately 275 cities around the world verified as working and accurate, while ensuring no regressions occurred for the common case when fixing the edge cases.
Note that this doesn't cover the entire world; thus far, we have the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand covered. We are working to add coverage to the rest of the world.
1.4.0 - 2012-12-03
Both versions
Added a new system for reporting to the user when problems occur. This will make it significantly more clear what's happening when something goes wrong, and adds an easy way to E-mail a problem report to us.
1.3.5 - 2012-11-27
Both versions
Fixed an issue in holiday calculation that was causing the entire month after a given holiday to still be considered that holiday. This was presenting itself with the rest of November after Thanksgiving still displaying holiday clothing when Calendar Fun mode was on.
Fixed an issue with icon sizing causing the full 512x512 icon to be displayed in certain positions, in certain ROMs. In particular, we noticed it when a lock-screen shortcut to the app was created in CM10.
1.3.4 - 2012-11-22
Both versions
Updated the "Geocoder fail " error message to be a bit more descriptive and helpful.

Initial app release

Love this app!
Great job! I must say that I've been using this app since it came out on the Play store, and it's been great. I used to check weather.com every morning, and I would have to check the daily forecast and click through three pages of "hourly" weather predictions in order to figure out two things: (1) did I need to wear pants, and (2) should I wear a jacket--when I rode my bike in to work in the morning.
Now, when I wake up, I just open up Should I Wear Pants?, check "Now" and "Today", and wear what it says. I've already customized it for my style, and now that it's getting colder out, it's been critical to know when to man-up and drive in, and when to put on my gloves and ride my bike.
Useful and fun app
I was one of the first to download this app and I must say that it is very useful. I always use to go on websites on my computer or use some other apps (none of which I really liked) to get the weather for the day and still I had to figure out what to wear. This app not only pulls the weather for the location you currently are, it also (thanks to preferences and customization within the app) suggests to you what to wear.
When I frist got it, there were a few bugs, but since the original download, I have downloaded a few new updates (some with pretty fun features such as holidy mode, and swagger mode) that have fixed any bugs that I encountered.
I would overall rate the app a 5/5 for its purpose and the fun things you can do with it as well.
P.S. Listen to what the app tells you if you have your preferences right. I was recently in Atlanta which is a bit warmer than where I am from (the North East) and I wore jeans one day which is not what the app told me to wear based on my suggestions. Lets just say I was sweating a tad bit that dat. The app really works and is helpful.
Definitely reccommended!
Brilliant.
Just pushed an update that significantly improves the layout in landscape orientation. Feedback welcome!
Just pushed an update that adds American Thanksgiving outfits. These will be run on Thanksgiving and the preceding Wednesday. The outfits include roast turkey designs on the T shirts, oven mitts in place of the gloves, colonial pilgrim style hats for men, and colonial style bonnets for women.
Enjoy, and as always, feedback welcome!
This is just like Swackett! I loved that on my Mac. THANKS.
Damn, and here I thought our idea was unique =p
Glad you like it, thanks for the comment
Haha I like this

I just saw the description and ran straight for the paid one! Amazing idea! Can`t wait to play with it.
One thing I can tell is missing right away, though.. WIDGET! Please make a widget for this. it`d be awesome to switch to my weather page, and see what I should wear right away without needing an app

That's one of the next things we're releasing I don't think it's going to make it into the 1.4 release, which is going to have a significant overhaul of the settings and an addition of several other items of clothing to each slot. I'm in the process of learning how to make home screen widgets, though - we're currently thinking one widget per slot.
If you have a weather page, though, one widget per slot probably won't work - in fact I'd imagine every slot wouldn't even fit on one dedicated page. I hadn't considered this use case - I'm thinking we'll also make a large widget that contains the whole thing.
Pushed an update yesterday that makes the "Geocoder fail " error message a bit more clear. People who have gotten this error message - please check out our help screen under the "Geocoder" section.
This app goes great with the Should I Change My Underwear app!

Pushed an update yesterday that fixes a problem with our holiday calculation - basically, every day of November that occurred after Thanksgiving was still considered Thanksgiving for the purpose of the outfit. We also fixed icon sizing - I noticed that our 512x512 icon was being displayed at full size when I put it in a lock-screen shortcut in CM10.
Just pushed yet another update - this one adds a new system for reporting problems to you when something bad happens. This will make it significantly more clear what's going wrong when problems occur - it makes it easier to fix problems yourself, while at the same time providing a very easy way to E-mail a report of the problem(s) to us for assistance.
Edit: Also, we would really love some feedback on this! And in addition, if anybody in this thread is someone who 1-starred the app because things weren't working, I implore you to re-evaluate the app now that we've (A) solved the major issues and (B) provided this great new error reporting system.
Hi all
I've just released a (inexpensive 1.69$) Pro-Version of this Quick GPS Position Pro.
It is supporting a wide range of configuration possibilities:
Position:
- Decimal
- Degrees
- UTM
- MGRS
- QTH
- Ordnance Survey National Grid (UK)
- SWISSGRID*CH1903+ support
- Gauß-Krüger support (Germany only)
- GEOREF Support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_...ference_System)
- GARS Support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global...ference_System)
The Speed:
- km/h
- mph
- m/s
- knots!
Elevation/height:
- Meter
- Feet
Heading:
- Degree (not reliable in low speeds)
Vibration:
- Option to turn on or off Vibration on GPS capture or loss
Option for 'app always on' available
Option to show either the time of the last known position OR the time ago (in sec/min/hours) since then
Option to show last known position on Startup
IMPORTANT:
If you have a Bluetooth connection available to your phone and GPS on on your phone, it is using your phone's Position. Turn off Bluetooth (and GPS on on your phone) to use the phone's GPS.
Thanks for the support, I will try to implement more things soon!
UK OSNG System
Nice app just downloaded to gear s3. Any chance of adding the Ordnance Survey National Grid system at some point as in the UK its useful for cross reference to Ordnance Survey maps which divide the UK up into squares of size 500 km by 500 km. There is a overview of the system if you Google 'Ordnance Survey National Grid'.
Thanks John
One minor niggle I've noticed is that when I select MPH as the unit of speed it displays mps next to it instead of MPH.
Thanks.
I will have a lot into the "Ordnance Survey National Grid System"
There is an update underway which Supports "QTH Grid System" and "SWISS Grid System"...
Will fix the mph/mps soon.
Good News JohnGearS3, I will implement UK OSNGS in Version 1.1.0.
EDIT:*Just implemented it, so it's going to Samsung now and should be available in a few days (certification takes unfortunately some days)
Lots of more stuff to come in Version 1.1.0:
- QTH
- Ordnance Survey National Grid (UK)
- SWISSGRID*CH1903+ support
- Gauß-Krüger support (Germany only)
Version 1.1.0 is NOW available in the store with the above mentioned new features...!
Hi
Excellent app, the sort of useful app that makes the S3 worth keeping! I did start having a play trying to make my own GPS app, you have saved me the trouble!
Might be nice to be able to customise whats displayed, and to have the main bit of info (the location) across the centre of the screen where there are more pixels, possibly in a larger font, ditto the ability to change the colour - eg to have the grid ref obvious in white.
An odometer & overall height gain/loss would be nice too - but possibly on another screen accessed with a bezel twist?
I am in the UK, and can confirm that your OSGB calculations come out just fine for central Scotland.
Also, 10 figure grid ref (eg 1m resolution) is beyond the capability of GPS, your average UK hill walker will be using 6 or 8 figure grid refs (100m or 10m resolution). Ability to choose would be nice - and also free up screen space for that larger font!!
Nigel
Just curious, what do you use this app for? It does seem like a really well done app, lots of features/capabilities, but I wasn't exactly sure what the use-cases are? How are those of you who use it making use of it? How does it help you? Thanks.

Satellites in view/use and SNR would be useful...along the lines of GPS+ for Android perhaps.

Interesting. I was having a quick look at the Native App API with a view to porting a golf GPS app I did for Android Wear and it seem you can get all the info through :
gps_status_get_satellites_cb)(unsigned int azimuth, unsigned int elevation, unsigned int prn, int snr, bool is_active, void *user_data)
and related calls.
Ah, I see nothing similar under the Web API...but I've only just started looking at it.
Thanks! Just bought it. I'll use it a lot, because right before I'm flying my Drone, I provide the near airport control tower, with the vicinity grid where I'm going to be flying, right from my watch! Thanks!

Thats exactly what is missing.
No Chance to get that info in Web API unfortunately...
Thanks for the app, I bought the pro version.
Will be a great addition for use in rural and remote areas when needing to give coordinates for fire fighting in the bush!
I really like the app. Is there any way to make it more clean looking. It just feels a little retro right now. I would like to see crisper text maybe the ability to adjust text size.
Version 1.3.0 now available:
- Possibility to force the usage of the Gear's GPS Signal even when the Gear is connected to the phone using Bluetooth.
- Possibility to set the precision: (Best, Good, Average, Bad) ... => means less Digits
Important: The force internal GPS is still somewhat beta. It's another API approach which is not well documented.
Version 1.4.0 awaiting approval from Samsung.
New:
- GEOREF Support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geographic_Reference_System)
- GARS Support (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Area_Reference_System)
- Fix for a rare calculation error using MGRS
Check Some Best Samsung Gear S3 Apps and Games really amazing .

Do you mean android widget? Why do you need it? What do you want to show on homescreen?
That's what I meant, widgets >.< (confusing).
For example, If I have 3 pages of homescreen, I can have one for extra apps, middle one for main used apps and third one for widgets, if I could see how my phone is doing just by swipping to the side instead of opening an app, it would be amazing.
(This app is great, if it were a widget to place on homescreen it would be really amazing, since most of those that exist are not very useful and very buggy).

Thanks to your thought, I have an idea that is easy for implementation. It is just simple 1x1 widget or some icon on homescreen for turn on monitor. So you do not have to go to the application, tap on enable and go back. You can just tap on icon on homescreen to show monitor.
I just uploaded a new version, which fixes some bugs.

I will add it to the TODO list, but at the moment, there are many other features that I want to implement firstly. You have to be patient
At the moment, I am working on battery current monitor and better compatibility with temperature monitor.
I added "Known issues" section.
Are you planning to show also CPU frequencies?

Thanks!
The new version with battery current monitor is in a closed beta version and it looks good.
New version with battery current monitor was released
Because of new version has better compatibility with temperature monitor, I added application version into device compatibility list.
I just released a new version of the application that fixes many bugs.
