Weather location

[tnep...@gmail.com]

I am using Calengoo on my android phone. When I enter my location under "Weather" I am entering my hometown. However, there apparently are 5 cities in the United States with the same name. Openweathermap.org selects whichever one of those cities it wants, I cannot pick. The weather location report it is giving me is wrong by about 700 miles. Is there a way to better define which city and state i live in? Is there a way to use a better weather service, i.e. Dark Sky?

Hi!

I am using Calengoo on my android phone. When I enter my location under "Weather" I am entering my hometown. However, there apparently are 5 cities in the United States with the same name. Openweathermap.org selects whichever one of those cities it wants, I cannot pick.

Thank you for your email! You can probably add the name of the state to choose the correct city. In the future I will make it possible to automatically determine the correct city by using your current position.

 

The weather location report it is giving me is wrong by about 700 miles. Is there a way to better define which city and state i live in? Is there a way to use a better weather service, i.e. Dark Sky?

Dark Sky is a paid weather service whereas OpenWeatherMap.org is free. I can add support for Dark Sky but it will cost money, maybe $1-2 each year. Would you be willing to pay $1-2 each year for a better weather service? I will add this if enough people are interested in it but it seems that most people don't want to pay for a better weather service and unfortunately better weather data is not offered for free by Dark Sky and the other companies.

Kind regards

An alternative to paying $1-2 would be to use e.g. Google Opinion Rewards ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.paidtasks ) to earn Google Play credits or maybe to do a Pollfish survey every few month.
