A simple apk (tested and written on vf696 android 5.1 'phone) that includes daytime shower calendar.
Version h6 (v3 signature, cert md5: 8741357d4dd11e5c4a3ca328594fc8b8) 18th January 2023
This program requires a fast Android at least 800px400 screen.
Above image shows a (very) rare Southern Hemisphere Temparate zone Sporadic E event coincident with a Daytime shower on 1st Feb 2021
This apk stopped working on Android 5 and Android 6 Some years ago with a 'SSL java Trust Anchor Error' FIXED:
By installing a (self signed) ISRG Root X1 , it can work again for DJ4PK cluster and wspr.
[With this program, the Android UI 'back' button is more reliable with Android 5 than Android 6, for Android 6, try the
UI 'back' button and then if no response use the onscreen < touch

26/6/2025 Works fine with Android 7 (prevent program from being backgrounded ?), run the program twice;
first time type in grid locator for 'placename'
second time, download beacon list (to enable bearings menu), then calculate a cirle map...
More than just the X1 was required, so I installed a bunch of certificates, (the E5 being required).
bunch of certificates.zip
The CRC here apply to these ones only, since a different cross sign would produce a different certificate.
Only install certificates from a trusted source (from the Issuer; 'Let's Encrypt').
Installing arbitrary certificates can prevent settings>security from working on Android (6).
The metrcal54 apk will work for meteor only without updating the certificate, here is example screenshot of the Geminids
