Weather Widget &
Quick Settings Tile
Live temperature and conditions in your Android notification bar — always visible, never intrusive. One glance tells you the weather without opening any app.
Two Ways to See the Weather
Persistent Notification
Shows the current temperature, conditions (Clear, Cloudy, Rain, etc.), and feels-like temperature in your notification shade. Updates silently every hour. The temperature icon appears in your status bar so you can see it anytime without pulling down the shade.
Quick Settings Tile
Add StormCast to your Android Quick Settings panel (swipe down from the top of your screen). The tile shows the current temperature and taps straight into the app. Lives right next to WiFi, Bluetooth, and Flashlight.
Why It Matters
Instant Access
No opening an app, no waiting for it to load, no searching for your city. The temperature is just there — on your lock screen, in your status bar, one swipe away.
Zero Battery Impact
Updates are pushed from the server every hour. No GPS polling, no background data churn. The notification uses Android's built-in persistent notification system — designed for always-on, low-power display.
Silent & Non-Intrusive
The temperature notification never makes a sound, never vibrates, never interrupts you. It's a silent, ongoing status display — like a battery percentage for the weather.
