In case you lost the link to the paypal button to pay your fee, here it is. ;)

Yes, the app will cost small money - is subject to a fee. Anyway you will get a full featured license for at least one day free of charge – so give it a try.

Note: In case you’ve still paid your fee, it remains valid! No need to do anything. :)

Be aware that it's a hard work to develop such an app and a fee is a kind of 'thank you' for hundreds of hours the developer spend.

The graph with the sun shows for timeframes of 3 hours over two days the sun minutes (bar) as well as the expected temperature (line).

The graph with the green man shows for timeframes of 3 hours over max two days the measured step count (bar) as well as the measured vigorous movement alias VMC (line).

FAQ

Have you seen the FAQ-Tab? More than often your question will be answered after reading the FAQs. ;)

The Panels

Beside the "TimePanel" two further panels are provided: The middle panel is a small one (alias "FixedPanel") the bottom panel is a big one (alias "InfoPanel").

The small FixedPanel was - as the name still says - intended as a static panel. You can choose between information such as course of the sun, weather forecast, current activity or health data values.

The big Panel at the bottom provides different InfoPanels. Means it's a dynamic and fully configurable content layer. The content either changes (preconfigured) every 60 secs, by tap or by accelerator control. In later case a simple turn of your wrist will switch to the next available content.

Note: A detailed usage documentation of the accelerator control can be found in the section "InfoPanel Configuration" - press the corresponding "howto" button.

The Settings

A settings dialog is provided in the pebble app. It offers a brunch of settings - nearly everything is configurable. In particular you can configure the InfoPanel switch duration, enable/ disable accelerator control, your individual language, a color scheme, graph sizes etc..

It’s worth mentioning that the visibility of InfoPanels can be configured. Have a glance to the "Service Configuration" section for all properties in regard to this topic. You have an opportunity to disable e.g. the daily step count, activity graphs and/ or the weather forecast InfoPanels in general.

In particular the weather configuration should be taken into account.

You have to select a fixed weather location because it's a fallback in case GPS can't locate you. To ease the configuration of your fixed location you can search either per name token or by GPS a weather station near to you.

Per default the GPS location is used to show an individual weather/ weather forecast. This can be disabled by enabling "Only fix location" in the settings. As a result only the configured fixed location is shown - your GPS location isn't used any more.

Note: You will find GPS options. Normally there is no need to change the options! Only in case your GPS can't reliable find your location, you can adapt the properties "accuracy", "timeout" and "cache time" of your GPS device appropriate.

Note: In case you want to change the "switch duration" of graphs you have to change the "Switch duration" below the "InfoPanel Configuration" section.
