When global?
Part of the reason this is possible for us is because the National Weather Service currently provides a free feed of raw (Level 2) radar data from their NEXRAD network (https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-nexrad/).
Assuming other national data feeds could be acquired and decoded at a fairly low cost, then other feeds could theoretically be added.
I suppose whether or not this project is successful is probably the determining factor in our case.

Oh I see. Yeah that could be a bit of a constraint couldn't it? Well I wish you luck.
"Your device isn't compatible with this version."
I hate that Google Play doesn't tell you why.
I know that some Motorola devices don't support Live Wallpapers. I'm guessing that's the problem because otherwise the permissions we use are pretty basic (coarse location, network access).

Yeah, this is not the first time I've run into app issues with my Moto phone. I won't be buying another one after this one wears out.
