Ratings and reviews

I really want to use this app because I don't want to support privatized weather services but it's basically unusable to me. First of all, the widget disappears constantly, which is my number 1 usage for weather apps. Second of all there isn't much forecasting available and the display doesn't show completely in app.

+ haas big potential + basic idea of local data aggregation and ad free/open access is very much paramount + screen orientation adaptive + weather map incl. satelite + uncluttered, clear, non flashy interface ? aeronautical units would be nice ? needs nicer graphs ? confirmation buttons f.ex. in Favorites list editing ? meta data such as data resolution indication, etc. would be nice ? pollution indication would be nice (at least some educational variety)

It's working good ******
