Ratings and reviews

The widget seems to be constantly refreshing, with no ability to (that i can find) to set an interval and or time out. Run once an hour and if no response in 30 seconds give up and try in another hour. If i desperatly want to know the weather & cant look out the window... I'll refresh manually. Might be effecting battery life for me ?

Utterly useless. Almost zero advanced warning of severe weather. Impossible to enlarge the Rain Radar map enough to see my area. All they care about are the ads. The whole thing is completely covered in ads. All of this also applies to their even more useless website. And I can't see why they can't improve the resolution of the Rain Radar map at 120km so we can at least see the outline of the coastline clearly.

On the whole an excellent app. However, the new One UI update has caused the size of Metservice's 4 × 2 widget's text to shrink so it isn't anywhere near as easy to read. Is there a possibility of the font size increasing slightly?
