About wX APK
Table Of Contents
Description
wX is a free, no-ads, and open-source ( GNU GPLv3 ) advanced weather application that is geared towards storm chasers, meteorologists, and weather enthusiasts. NWS ( National Weather Service ) data is optimized for mobile format and provided for divisions not normally covered together in the mobile space: SPC, WPC, NHC, OPC, etc. Level 3 and Level 2 Nexrad radar ( single, dual, quad pane ) are provided and displayed using the mobile variant of OpenGL. This weather app is not affiliated with NOAA or the National Weather Service.If you *only* need current conditions and your local 7 day forecast then this app is probably more then you need although it will easily provide those 2 things as well. If you are looking for wasted screen real estate or fancy graphics this app is not for you. Given the depth of information covered there is a steep learning curve if you seek to use the program in it's entirety, help information is available and touched on below. Common weather acronyms are used throughout so you should be familiar with those as well. Currently United States locations are supported.
HELP is available from the main menu and by tapping on any text in the settings activities.

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.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

3 ★Not sure what happened, but after the most recent update, there seems to be a widget malfunction. You can drag them onto the screen, they occupy screen space, and you can touch them to open the app, but on the home screen, they're invisible. Stopping and restarting the app (and the phone), clearing the cache and data, have no effect. Otherwise, this is still the best weather app on the market.
5 ★This app is amazing. It shows wxr, level 2 and 3 nexrad data, and it has a usable interface. It even has dual and quad pan modes. All this is for free. 2 other apps of the play store that do the same thing cost 10$. My favorite is the velocity data. In quad pane mode I can see the normal rain (reflextivity), velocity data (to see rotation), and correlation coefficient (to see if debris is getting lifted into the air). And I can toggle the degree of the radar. Perfect
5 ★Fantastic app! I've long since been looking for a weather app that cleanly displays reflectivity and velocity without a cluttered UI. This satisfies that and so much more! 5 stars from me, the only thing that could make it better is if you could customize new quick toggle buttons on the radar screen for certain lvl 3 data, e.g. you'd have three buttons at the bottom- reflectivity, velocity, and SRMV, or tilt level toggle, or correlation coefficient etc to avoid pop-up menus.
5 ★Very useful app as it contains all of the SPC information, radar, weather forecast and more in one convenient place. What I especially love about this app is the ad free experience. Compared to most other weather apps, do I really need to have ads shoved in my face when there's a tornado warning? Much thanks to the developer for making an app that can provide potentially live saving information and isn't bloated with ads. Kudos!
5 ★This app is very in depth. It has proved invaluable to my family on two road trips. On two occasions we were able to change our route and seek shelter while encountering tornadic thunderstorms, once near Waco and once in the TX panhandle. Without the tools available in this app, we would likely have driven right into those storms unaware of their severity. Thank you for developing this app.
5 ★I agree with others that this is an amazing amalgamation of data and graphics for a free app! This has data and information that you have to pay for when using ANY other app that has the data, and many paid apps have less data. TREMENDOUS tech support. Developer spent a good amount of time helping me with a problem. Be patient and give yourself time to master the app and you will be glad you did!
5 ★Most comprehensiveness weather app on android! And it's free! And developer is very responsive to any concerns! 👍🏻
5 ★Not exactly the easiest to use, but the information available is by far the best in any free app. Just switched from iOS to Android, and had a similar app that I loved and I finally found an awesome weather app for Android! Also, no ads makes the experience even better :)
5 ★I like the minimalist design and function of this app, but i can't figure out why it is now giving me a radar preview notification all day long, and can't figure out how to get it to stop doing that. I dont need to be notified of an empty radar all day long. Update: Developer response worked. Found the settings to turn this off.
5 ★I'm loving this app the more I use it! As a weather enthusiast, soon to be studying Atmospheric Science, it's nice to have a ton of the resources within one app. Normally getting all the resources is a pain from having to go to many different websites flooding tabs in your browser. Radar is clean and gives you all the options: base reflectivity, velocity, etc - sometimes have to pay for apps to use those modes. For the regular person it maybe a lot, though for me it's perfect!
5 ★What I love are the WIDGETS that are included! The UI is complicated and designed for weather nerds and storm chasers, and takes some getting used to and quite honestly research to understand how to use it because of the immense amount of data available. Thanks so much, Dev, it is a fantastic and useful tool! And the widgets, bro; the widgets!
5 ★Best weather app for geeks! As a former meteorologist, I've been consistently disappointed by most weather apps since android came about. This app changes all of that! Level 2 radar, dual pol products, the entire spc sref model outputs, surface observations and a ton more! This isn't an app for someone just looking for a quick forecast, but perfect for those of us that know the ins and outs of forecasting.
