Installed on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1 and works well: it found the server on the LAN immediately and current data also popped up straight away.
I then changed units to Celcius, kph, etc. and started changing the order of the values, while also hiding a few variables I do not need.
While doing this, the App crashed. I restarted and had to redo the ordering bit. All worked fine this time.
I then tried to enter my URL and connect to the host over the internet. What are the requirements for this (on the server side)?
First impression is that this is a very nice App. Straightforward but provides the info I'm looking for (with frequent polling).
Many thanks!

Excellent, many thanks for all the hard work, I've got it working on my home network, eventually I'll understand what I have to do to get it working on the internet.
cheers

Great App,
One small niggle. I have the settings set to show the Current conditions but all that shows up in the app is (Current Conditions) Am I missing something here?
Version: 1.0 (120402)

It warms The Grand Poohbah's heart to see your enthusiasm for the App. Thank you.
An App's first 24 hours in the Apple App Store is always interesting, especially a free one. The WeatherCat App was downloaded 41 times from 11 countries. The US had the most downloads (24) with Saudi Arabia coming in second (4).
Callie, the cat in the WeatherCat App, thanks you too.
So pleased to find the WeatherCat App on the iTunes App Store I grabbed it, then wrote a review, and that's my first, ever. [woohoo]
Here's a link that describes port forwarding on an Airport Extreme:

Good thing I have the mobile version of my web site on my iPhone!
Thanks anyway,

Steve, How are you formatting your web site for display on an iPhone? Have you got some html that you can share?

although when I used Safari on my iPad, I got the full-size (not mobile) view. Is that what was supposed to happen?
any news on an update to the app? the ipwx iphone gui looks very simple and elegant so something along those lines would be great...
xtommo - you said
'to get it working over the internet you will need to Port Forward TCP 49250 to 49254 to your servers LAN IP and then enter your WAN IP into the iOS client.'
For a dullard like me can you give me bait of help how I might do the above.........http://athena.trixology.com/Smileys/default/sad.gif

Will you be releasing an update?
Can someone please tell me what is the function of the option to Show (x/y) in the iOS client settings? I can't tell what it does.
Thanks.
Hi there,
The client app does not appear to work with iOS 7. Will you be releasing an update? Thanks.
I can also see the EDIT button and SETTINGS 'wheels' as normal.
I havetwoone questions about the settings for Current conditions, Good comms, Bad comms and Sensor error.Thanks.
- The settings for Good comms, Bad comms and Sensor error are not sticky. You have to turn them on every time you use the app. Is this a bug or a feature?
ok, i have just paid for BOTH ipad and iPhone versions of weathercat app.
developer?
can we get gauges please on iPhone version?
So I don't know if Grand even has the required infrastructure from Apple, and it would make the name WeatherCatPad is smidge off. Nonetheless, if Grand could adapt WeatherCatPad to run on the iPhone 6, I would gladly pay for it.
I like your thinking -- that is a great idea, but I'm not sure how to package it as a product. Do I update the current iPhone app to have two faces: the current interface for iPhones 4 & 5 and another, pad-like interface for iPhone 6? The iPad version will only work on the iPad, that's an Apple constraint.
That's what I was afraid of. Grand, you cannot be the only developer facing this problem. Maybe the best thing do to is try to diplomatically suggest to Apple that something needs to be revised here. Trying to hack your way out of this false dichotomy may be more trouble than it is worth.
To be fair to Apple, they want iOS developers to develop "universal" apps that will run on iPhone and iPad. A universal app displays the appropriate format for the device. Apps like this have a little "+" near the download button. WeatherCat was first released before the universal app capability was available. Hence, it's divergent path.
Dear boracay, Grand, and WeatherCat iOS fans,ok, i have just paid for BOTH ipad and iPhone versions of weathercat app.
Well, you can only pay for the iPad app. The iPhone version is free.
???
not correct, it DID cost me for both apps

You are both correct. When the iPhone app first came out, it was free. That's when Edouard got it. It was later changed to a paid app which is what it is now.
I am paying for the hosting of my own domain. Instead of using and paying dyn.com, is there a way or an app I can use so that my domain will act as host for my WeatherCat stats so I may access the WeatherCat info on iPhone over the internet instead of getting the proper stats only via local Wi-Fi when I'm home?
Thanks Edouard. I have one computer, an iMac, that is running WeatherCat 24/7. Does that computer have an IP address WeatherCat can use or must it be only a domain server which provides the IP for WeatherCat?
