app idea

[deird1]

I want an app for my iPad.

It will be called "Weather Watcher", and will know my location. If it's about to rain in the next five minutes, it will send me an alert, letting me know that I should get all the washing in from the line.


*has wet washing, and a certain degree of frustration*

I think that could be done. If you have any friends who already have an iOS development environment (which I do not, because it's too bloody expensive) and feel like tinkering, you should ask them.

Only I think you couldn't get a 5 minute warning, it'd have to be 10 minutes: that's how often the BOM updates its rain radar. And it wouldn't be totally accurate or reliable either. But better than nothing.
