Are there any decent navigation apps for Android that can overlay a weather radar display on the same map? Such a feature would be extremely useful when traveling through inclement weather and trying to avoid the worst areas.
This is a pretty good example of what I am looking for, but sadly it's built into a specific infotainment system rather than a generally available app. I don't care if it's a paid app as long as the price is reasonable.
That's what ChatGPT says:

Thanks but Google Maps ands Waze do not currently have weather overlays despite being a long-requested feature, as discussed in this thread. I've looked. And apps like Acuweather have the weather radar but no navigation. know plenty of apps that do one or the other, but nothing that does both on Android (although it appears to be a thing on other platforms like ios or infotainment systems; heck, pilots have had weather + nav since the 1950s).
AFAIK Google Maps includes real-time weather data, though It may not be informative enough for hardcore weather geeks, but it is sufficient for getting through the day and planning short trips, IMO.

I'd like to show you Ambient Weather, a very simple extension for DashClock Widget.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It shows the temperature, relative humidity and pressure directly on your dashclock widget without the need to enter into specific apps.
I tried lots of apps of this genre but... I always finished deleting them because 90% of times I get bored to find and open an app just for reading the ambient temperature.
With Ambient Weather everytime I access the lockscreen, I see the current situation right under my eyes.
The app is meant to do not drain the battery with continuous readings. All the data are retrieved only once everytime the screen turns on or DashClock auto-updates the widget itself (every ~1h).
Obviously this is not for pro-meteorologist users. The readings are not cleaned from the heat/humidity given by the human body (or CPU).
*The compatible devices (ATM) are only Galaxy S4 and Note3
I leave you with the Play Store link (published some minutes ago ):
Let me know if you notice bugs or you have any kind of suggestions. I'll try to help you as soon as I have some free time.
Hey thanks a lot for the extension! I've been looking for this! Where can I find the source code?
Holo Twitter app concept
The Twitter app has a tolerable design, however it is not very practical (few elements in wrong places) and it is not proper Holo! There are a few 3rd party apps but they're still not it. This is why I designed this concept. It's similar yet different from Twitter's current flat UI parts of it are based on the latest update of the Google Newsstand app. The first two photos show the phone version, the rest show the tablet (Nexus 7) version in portrait mode.
Also keep in mind that I am not a developer so I can't make this app, but I decided to share it if there is a developer who could! If so make sure to contact me.

Please tell me what you think!
Those who have seen my Holo Facebook concept (which you can find HERE if you haven't seen it) can probably tell that they are very similar (except for some mechanics characteristic to Twitter/Facebook), and indeed they are, but I really believe that this design would work really well in both cases.

All photos here are broken?
EDIT: Nevermind, I think it was a problem with my browser
look nice :good:
Would anyone want me to design a concept for a Holo web browser?

Hi,
on my Samsung S4 with Android 5, this App measures totally wrong distances, even I have allowed high detail positioning, including GPS. Generally, my tracks are recorded way to low, when I go for a walk, my Garmin GPS says 6.1km for example, and Google Fit says 1.2km. Or I was wandering last weekend, GPS device says 20.1km, Google fit says 12.5km, and so on.
The only way this seems to improve is when I run a logging app like "My tracks" at the same time, but when only Google fit is active in the background, the values are totally randm, but always too low
Hi to everyone!
Let me introduce the Arounder application.

What is it?
Arounder - mobile social network that use geolocation features of your mobile device to show people, events and news around you.
The main difference from usual social networks is in using geolocation to any kind of content (photo, posts, messages and etc.). You have two types of newsfeed: usual (from friends and followers) and GEOfeed - post that left by users in your place.
It also has very high accuracy to show you people around: each next in list is farther from previous.
We have many ideas for further features
SCREENSHOTS:
REQUIREMENT:
Since this application uses your location for its many features, your device must have geolocation support (GPS or A-GPS) and geolocation must be enabled on it.
Otherwise, Google Play will say something like "your device isn't supported".

The app looks great! I will give it a shot!

Great idea!
Hi everyone,
I'm just a guy from Russia. For a long time I have used some android apps to understand what's going on with my money flows - and all of them didn't have something. One has not the ability to sync with a cloud, other has some terrible interface, third was done without a mind of material design guidelines... As a result I decided to learn a bit of Java and write an application for track my money which will completely satisfy me. So, here it is - Beardly Finance Manager. Look at it if you need something to manage your money and feel free to reach me if you found a bug or need some new feature - I will be glad to help you. Your opinion is actually really important for me as it is my first application based on Android technology stack.
Main features are:
• Material Design
• Cloud synchronization
• Ability to add your own currencies, projects, payees, budgets and so on
• SMS parsing based on pure regexp - you can parse just anything
• Customization themes
• Integrated calculator
• Rich reports (more than 100 different ones)
• Nice budgets representation
• Complex operation types, such as transfers and splits
• Multicurrency
