WindAlert - Android Testing

Postby ryanroberts1983 » Wed Aug 10, 2011 5:02 pm

Interested in helping us out with our Android app development? Attached is a zipped up APK to install, we are looking for feedback from riders. Install it, and post your comments here for us to check out.

Please keep in mind this is an unreleased version and very rough as we are working hard to get things up to par with our iPhone app.

THANKS!
-Ryan

How do you install this on Android? I have Windfinder but that was straight of the market.

Make sure you have "Unknown sources" enabled.
Download Windalert.zip to computer
Extract Windalert.apk file
Copy Windalert.apk to phone /sdcard
Use Root Explorer or other file explorer, navigate to Windalert.apk, click on it and it will install.

Looks pretty good so far.

If you host the apk file on the web somewhere (ie not in a zip) you can just paste the link for people to click on from their phone and it will automatically install, no need to put it on the sd card etc etc

Alright here's a suggestion...

How about being able to move your favorites stations in the order you want? It would be nice to be able to move your most important stations on top.

You are able to do this from the website, but we can look at adding that. Thanks!
