Just bought a HTC One phone after many years on an iphone but can't seem to find a Android App for Seabreeze, does one exist ????

Hope so as this could be the downfall of all non ITunes compatable phones from here on in !!!!!

I think you mean Android, not your phone model.
Bit of a first world problem really.
Use the browser app on your phone. Works just like a bought one.
I'm sure Laurie will let everyone know if an app becomes available.

Hey Rossal .. for sure, android app is late out of the starting blocks, and best bet is to use the web browser for the moment - really did hope to have the app out by now, but various things conspired against me, causing it's delay...

Let me know if you'd like a hand with that Laurie - writing Android apps is my hobby.

You make a valid point Mr. Panda.

There's just 4 apple products to choose from.

The sheeple are easy to spot, they out themselves. Thanks for your worthless contribution.

If you just want the forecast and observations, I've used metawidget for ages, looks like this, forecast may vary. It's not an app, it's a widget, so I just drop my local forecast charts and observations on one of my pages, much better and quicker than an app.

Gettin some bites fishing with smelly fruit in an android thread?

I looked long enough to notice your graph is for 2010 phones, a bit out of date isn't it?

I have a 2012 Samsung Galaxy nexus. I have root access. I can install what I like.
I have this thing called 'nandroid' on my touchscreen recovery (like a bios) which lets me rewind to the moment I backed up the phone, even if I brick it.
Every single thing gets backed up, the phone is exactly as it was at that point in time. I can rewind my phone to various points of time.
I have the very latest Android running on it.
Not only that, I have a ROM (called "BAMF Paradigm" if you must know) which has loads of features built in. My favourite is ad-blocking. I see no ads, ever.

Smelly fruit products are great for people who like being locked in and playing by the rules. You can have your official update when you get it, woo hoo.
I prefer having control of every aspect of my phone. And I can go out and get 50 fantastic versions of the OS made by very smart and dedicated teams. For free.

/looks like you got a bite after all.

Check out all the defensive fAndroids.
Just pointing out the differences between developing for iOS vs Android. There are plenty of articles on the web if you're interested.

Not sure about the querystring there (?n=1369271472000), and what it does, but you can make a widget, shortcut, home page ding-dong or whatever it is you have on your platform using the following address:

www.seabreeze.com.au/images/forecast/2/SYD1/rgg.png?n=1369271472000

That's for Sydney Metro of course, adjust for your location.
Basically right-click or equivalent on the image to get the address and do with it what you will.

The app is pretty cool and includes tides and swell, same as the site. I think I bought it mostly to support the site.

So what happened to the mobile seabreeze page? Still appears in the help section under mobile but seems to have gone. This one worked a treat particularly for older phones...


Edit, the 3 day graph fitted perfectly on the screen without zooming/ scrolling etc.
