  • Thanks . Tried it out but the widget I Wowz ‘Current 2’ does not display the barometric reading when I place on home screen.

    Only displays two of 4 meausurements on that particular widget.

    The measurements I would like displayed on my weather widget are

    1. Barometric Pressure
    2. Relative Humidity
    3. Dew Point
    4. UV Index
    5. Air Quality
    6. Basic measurements like temp, wind speed, etc.
    7. Severe weather alert indicator

    Bonus would be precipitation chance percentage. When Ilookeed through WEOWOW options didn’t see one where I could customize to get my list of wants on one or twowidgets setup.

    I am willing to pay as in one time payment for this weather widget.






  • KISS launcher

    Especially when pairing it with the Panels App

    KISS has a small footprint is very fast and really makes my smartphone experience super efficient. I toggle minimalistic on, change search engine to Brave/DuckDuckGo, set my six most used apps as favorites which then show as icons at home screen bottom, assign tags to shortcuts such as favorite websites or tools such as compass, barometer, speed meter, distance calculator, etc.

    You can have a tag category show up as a window from the bottom right settings menu.

    Kiss also has a very effective search component. Literally the only scrolling needed will be doom scrolling on ones favorite social media app.

    Widget functionality could be better but can be supplemented by said Panels app.

    I have used hundreds of Android Apps since my first smartphone around 10 years ago and KISS is my most favorite of all (open source or regular) due to how its impacted how I use my phone.












  • Most of the people that I know who have Iphones do for family chat or teens and college age because everyone in their circle does.

    But IPhone owners have no call to be looking down on android users.

    Some of the greatest apps, PowerAmp and Photo Studio Pro do not have iPhone versions. Also IPhone runs behind Samsung in innovation. I mean IPhone finally added widgets but the functionality on IPhone pales in comparison to Android.

    Also can’t change defaults in IPhone for launcher, music, dialer, and pretty much everything except, browser, and email.

    I could never own an IPhone because they think they know best for users. With Android I have autonomy over my device.

    Some areas of this country do not get reliable cell signal that is where an FM tuner can still receive emergency alerts but no not IPhone because they disallow their customer base from having and essentially force their power users to utilize their cloud services because once again they fail to offer expandable storage as an option. Shaping their own market but it essentially is anti consumer.

    Despite these things Apple is relatively successful with these business decisions (especially in the US) but Samsung Ultra has eclipsed the IPhone Pro with the 23 version and IOS is still playing catch up with Android.
