Kairos - 2.1.7

Any plan to capture precipitation info (rain as well as snow) and store those numbers for graphing?

Plus, the storage & graphing capability needs to be extended to a full year and include an export function for archiving (other than manually saving the three XML text files) to be really helpful.

And if precip data is included, also please incorporate the ability to track cumulative data between any two user selectable dates. For example, if I've faithfully tracked and archived a year's worth of my Buffalo, NY data, I'd like to be able to open up that archive file (full year, not merely 28 days) and find out the cumulative snowfall between Nov 15 and March 15. Or maybe the cumulative snowfall data for that last 48 hour storm.

Or the cumulative last 60 days of rainfall in West BeJesus, TX.

Anyway, you get the idea. You're presently capturing four pieces of data that all armchair meteorologists want but for some inexplicable reason you overlooked an absolutely critical parameter...precipitation. I assume that data is readily available since the shareware WeatherMan X presents it but, of course, that program has no storage and graphing capability which is what makes Kairos a standout in this niche market.

This would be great as a menu item. This is something that I leave running in the background 24/7. I have to have the app icon in the dock, as well as the app window. It takes up too much space and it gets in the way of the stuff that I am working with at the moment.

If that issue were solved, the program would be worth having.

Works well and as advertised. Look forward to more display flexibility (e.g., different parameters, such as relative humidity) in future updates, but still 5 stars overall because it's so useful and, as far as I can tell, bug-free.

Documentation could use a little work. When my Mac wakes up from sleep the program appears able to "catch up" on at least some lost data, but the documentation seems to say that all the lost data is merely extrapolated: "When your machine awakes, Kairos will calculate how long it was asleep for and fills the data set with the last known data for the length of the 'sleep' so the graphs maintain the timeline. [FAQ]" Thus, unless I'm not understanding something, the program appears to perform somewhat better than advertised.

do read the comments here. We are quite pleased with the feedback we have had. Quite a few of user suggestions are already in progress or planned for future releases. We'll post the updates as soon as they are available. Rest assured we are working hard on Kairos. We'd love to get more feature suggestions - to ensure we actually see them we suggest sending them to kairos_support@lightsoft.co.uk. We do read every one and try to reply to as many as possible. Regards, Rob & Stu @ Lightsoft

a great little application, nicely implemented. It's not perfect though - here are a couple of suggestions: 1. Allow user to select different units for different categories. eg I would like Deg C for temp but MPH for windspeed. If the data is only provided from the source in metric or imperial then a conversion factor could be used. 2. The numerical values of the divisions on the graph are rather weird, which makes interpreting the data a bit less straightforward than it should be. And why in particular is there no horizontal line for 0 deg C?? 3. Provide a way to print the graphs - I was rather shocked when I went to print and ended up with reams of paper full of the raw data collected since I first purchased Kairos, but no graphs.
