My “favorite” app is the Offshore App is PredictWind. It’s the app through which I get my weather forecast and through which I upload these narrations.<\/p>\n
The connection can go either through my IridiumGO satellite phone or the mobile phone internet connection.<\/p>\n
Why do I call it “favorite”? Keep reading!<\/p>\n
Recently, I updated the app on both on my mobile phone. Results: my Huawei phone did not connect anymore to the PredictWind server. Neither via the mobile phone internet connection nor via the satellite phone connection of my Iridium GO.<\/p>\n
The app in bq phone connected only via mobile phone internet.<\/p>\n
However both phones connect to the Iridium server to exchange emails. My conclusion is the Offshore App doesn’t connect to the PredictWind server. Such a bug is simply annoying.<\/p>\n
Recently, I observed and tested the most funniest bug I’ve ever come across.<\/p>\n
I used my bq phone and the internet connection via the hotspot of my Huawei phone to upload my narrations.<\/p>\n
This because with my Huawei phone I could not reach the PredictWind server. Then, accidentally I saw a narration uploaded via my bq phone in the Offshore App of my Huawei phone. How can this happen when I can’t connect to the PredictWind server to upload\/download narrations?<\/p>\n
Thus, over the next days I performed tests. Whenever I uploaded a narration via my bq phone I opened about 2 min later my Huawei phone and saw the narration on the Huawei phone as well. How can this happen when I could not get a connection to the PredictWind server to upload a narration with my Huawei phone at all?<\/p>\n
My assumption is that the Offshore App is permanently open in the background and downloads data by itself. Conclusion: a “perfectly programmed” app or another bug in the accumulation of bugs.<\/p>\n
I uninstalled the up-to-date apps and installed an older version for which I fortunately got download link from Keryn of PredictWind support. Without Keryn, I would have changed my weather forecast already.<\/p>\n
The newly installed older version on my Huawei phone connects now again to the PredictWind server via mobile phone internet and satellite connection.<\/p>\n
The app in my bq phone I need to reinstall again because it doesn’t work. The PredictWind Offshore App, an accumulation of bugs which works somehow if one knows a few tricks, thus my “favorite” app.<\/p>\n
For fairness reasons I want to mention that the older version runs on my tablet PC with the normal, never removed bugs and I can get my weather reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
