Description

This is a very useful widget for ham radio operators. It provides an overview of the current solar data retrieved every 3 hours from NOAA. The displayed information is a combination of the "Daily Solar Data" and "Geophysical Alert Message" products published by the Space Weather Prediction Center.Only an overview of the solar data is provided and not complete space weather info.

The widget displays the current solar flux (SFI), SESC sunspot number (SSN), and planetary K-index/A-index as well as the observed and predicted space weather storms.

Note: Due to the way Android handles widgets, a device restart is required on some Android 4.0.x devices after widget installation.If the widget does not appear immediately after install, you may try a device restart or try to uninstall it and install it again.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

1 ★It says : please add the widget to your homescreen. And it won't launch.
1 ★Cannot open, "please add widget to home screen"!!! Something no working properly.
1 ★Home screen widget error
3 ★Nice, simple widget that displays basic propagation numbers. That part is great and would rate 5 stars except for one flaw. This takes up a 4x2 block on the screen when it could probably get by with 3x2, or even less. If they could add an extra widget in a smaller size, I'd rerate this a full five!
5 ★Thanks Dev, been using this app for quite awhile & he fixed it when it lost data & replied right away.
5 ★Very nice... just what I was looking for, but without all the "eye candy" of some of the other apps out there, cutos to the DEV for keeping it simple... de WX6Y
3 ★Skip alert
2 ★I COULDN'T READ SOME OF THE WORDS on widget itself. DUE TO THERE WAS A MIXED IN THE 2 OR 3 WORDS. I thought it would be a good app. BUT I was WRONG due to this. If the words WEREN'T MIXED TOGETHER I would be using it , would have gave it a better review. And would have NOT UNINSTALLED it.
