Alpha Release 4.004 - Major Update and Testing

This release marks the beginning of the end for a major rewrite of Flowx.

This major rewrite was released to Apple a year ago and since then I have been working on getting this code to Android. After four years, we are nearly there.


Interested in being an Alpha Tester?

Please email me via the current Flowx app on Android.

I can add your email to the list and the app will update through the Google Play store.
You can always opt out by letting me know.

What needs testing

Currently testing is very easy. I am looking at:

  1. migration from old Flowx places, graphs, layouts, etc… to this alpha version. See if anything is missed.
  2. and just general daily usage. Daily use will highlight issues and find crashes. If crashes happen, the crash log should be uploaded automatically.

While testing and you want to contact me, please contact me via the app.

As the “Alpha” suggests, this release is in its early stages. There are bug and there are features missing.

  • the coastlines is only plotted on one side of the date line.
