Description
This app will be updated for the March 2020 announced changes! For the 2020 season this version will function. By Nov 2020 it will be updated to the latest Android version and will include the reporting functions. Rapid Report will be rolled into this app at that time. Chaser Location will live on as your solution! Update your location to SpotterNetwork automatically. Open it up set your SN user id in the settings, close it down and it runs in the background. Rock Solid. Run it for months! Updates your location, speed, and direction to SpotterNetwork just like the windows client. Set update times from 2 minutes to longer with the onscreen slider. Also use the Celltower triangulation instead of GPS to save on battery power.Also includes a button to launch the SpotterNetwork Reports page in your cell phone browser. Authenticate once and save your cookies in the browser and it will launch into the Reports page with your GPS coordinates already filled in.
In Settings add your SpotterNetwork Spotter ID to the setting menu. Be sure to add your encoded number/characters, not your Name or Callsign.
Be sure to also get Rapid Report for Storm Chasers. The first app to provide a simple mobile interface to the new SpotterNetwork reports API. Chaser Location is the official Android client app for SpotterNetwork.
*** Important! *** Android phone vendors (Samsung, Nokia, etc) have added battery life optimization in Oreo and Pie versions and are killing background processes. You must disable this battery saving feature on a per app basis. Vendors and versions are slightly different but basically you follow this (this is for Samsung Galaxy 8 and 9):
Go to Settings -> Apps -> find Chaser Location in the list -> press Battery (Allow background activity may be checked, ignore that setting! ) -> press Optimize Battery usage -> set pulldown to All -> Find Chaser Location in the list again and UNCHECK the setting.
That will let it run in the background without being killed off after a couple hours.***
Note: If you are not seeing your location on SpotterNetwork or any of the feeds but this app shows success. Please go to the SpotterNetwork website and manually enter your starting position once. New accounts must do this only once and then you will show.
Also: Be aware that you must submit 5 quality reports before you will show up on the map. Please make sure you meet this requirement before looking for your dot on the map.

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.

4 ★Had trouble on my s3 but seems to work now.
5 ★Easy setup. Was online and streaming in mere moments. Well done!
5 ★EDIT: The developer responded quickly to my previous comment and helped me get the app going on my phone. Looking forward to using it on my next chase. :-)
5 ★My name is Sean Kiaer from Trucker Weather Watch. I am not much of a techie so when it comes to apps and stuff and getting them to work I am kind of lost. Any how I just bought a new Razr Maxx from Verizon and I love the phone. I am also a NWS mobile storm spotter. Any how I was having troubles getting the app to work and so I sent an E-Mail to Verne the developer of the program. He went so far as to stop his Bicycle ride and chat with me to get things figured out. No mind you how many customer service people have contacted on a sund and they really don't give you the time of day let alone answer there E-Mail. Well Verne stopped what he was doing with his mom none the less and took the time to get me up and running. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Product now that It works and Even better customer service. As such I am proud to announce that Chaser Location is the Official App for Trucker Weather Watch. PS I wish there were more stars to rate this Product and Service Because I would make sure that it had at least a million Stars.
5 ★Ran it on the first chase this past week, and it was super stable the whole trip...turn it on and forget about it. No more need to run several boggy applications just to stream video!
