Ratings and reviews

Information is detailed and accurate. App respects my privacy and encrypts sensitive information. My only complaint is that the widgets are ugly and cluttered while also not even displaying enough useful information to be worth keeping on my homescreen. It would be nice to have separate widgets for air quality, wind, precipitation, and pressure and more sizes. Right now both widget sizes only show temperature, wind and weather. The text is also too small to be accessible.

Most accurate for my area. Either get rid of the metnotes or change them to a banner rather than a popup though, because it covers the percent chance of rain on the hourly scale and I can't turn them off. Makes only the vertical scale viable. If you fix it, 4 stars. 5 stars for more data on the map.

Something has happened to the Android widget. It seems to have vanished in the most recent upgrade. The widget started doing some odd formatting and so I erased it and went back looking for it in the widget list and it does not show up anymore. I erased and reinstalled the app hoping the widget would show up after that but it is still missing from my list.
