Where Does Flowx Store Maps and Settings?
Flowx weather map cache, widgets and Gold settings on Android.
Last updated
Flowx (the nerdy weather visualizer) keeps map preferences, data sources, widgets and Gold status in app data with heavy map tile caching in private storage. Forecasts stream from models like GFS and HRRR on demand.
Tile cache is the storage hog: global model imagery accumulates fast. Settings survive reinstalls poorly without backup, so screenshot elaborate map stacks. Gold subscription follows the Play account across devices.
Where Flowx stores this, by platform
App-private storage (map cache plus settings in app data)
Prune tile cache from settings when storage runs low. Widget layouts rebuild quickest from screenshots. Gold restores through Play purchases on new phones.
Frequently asked questions
why is Flowx using gigabytes of storage
Cached model map tiles for every viewed region and layer. Clear the map cache in settings; preferences survive while tiles refetch on next view.
do Flowx settings transfer to a new phone
Only loosely. Rebuild map stacks from screenshots and restore Gold through Play. There is no full settings export, so document custom data source orders.
