PYKL# on new Samsung phone

I don't know if this is of any help to you guys, but I ran across this post a while back.


I haven't tried it myself so I can't comment on it.
I have wX. It is not as robust as PYKL3.
 
I believe that thread is about a user who rewrote the code for wX, and turned it into something similar to Pykl3. I haven't used Pykl3, or tried the modified version of wX to know if it's worthwhile though.

I use Radarscope for radar, and wX for everything else when it comes to mobile weather. Gonna be purchasing GRAE for the laptop shortly, although there is another product called WSV3 that I'm still considering. Unless you can find someone with coding experience to dig into the Pykl3 issues, the best you can do is keep trying to run it, and hope someone gets it up and running.

For what it's worth, the Radar Omega suggestion seems good too. There are few apps out there that have mostly the same features for a price... but again, I don't know how they stack up against the features Pykl3 had, or what your requirements are. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I've used the modified wX.
I used to have it on my tablet, but over time the various functions of it slowly quit working...I eventually had to give up & instead install the standard version instead.
There were a couple features it had that I preferred over the standard version, but overall its basically the same.
 
Ok..
I played around with it today, and definitely believe someone who knew what they were doing could make it work.
I think the maps issue truly is the file/data locations where its looking have changed, rather than "it won't work on modern devices" . (that would have to be updated in the code - something I obviously don't have access to .lol. (I'm not a coder, but if it was just a matter of updating URLs or something simple in the code I could do that))

Fact is, while not useable in its current state, it can still show radar (this screenshot was just taken from the storms tonight, on a fairly new Samsung phone)
(the SPC outlooks part still works too)
