Diminished after update. The last update, "added 3 new widgets", actually meant, "replaced existing widgets with these new ones", and as a result, the useful, to me at least, "4×1" widget was removed. I had this in a stack with 2 other 4×1 widgets, but that is not an option anymore. I don't want a widget that requires so much vertical space, so the App is less useful than before. Was my preferred weather App, now time to find another.

Hi David, thanks for your feedback. Some improvements are in the pipeline, including how the daily weather widget re-sizes. This means the smaller option will show the data that you're used to. The larger options will continue to provide extra details, such as forecast rain and 'feels like' temperature. Keep watch for these improvements soon.

5jan26 used to love this app. lately it's been absolutely plagued by issues for me. constantly can not load weather throwing a 'no internet connection' error. use to be resolved by clear cache/force close and reopen, but not even that works anymore. so I just use the website instead, new website is basically the same at the app except it consistently works. Update: 18sep26, still the same issues. new phone. everything works perfectly, but this app constantly says check your internet connection.

the radar doesn't work much of the time nowadays and when it does it is not very accurate. I have ended up in weather I shouldn't have been exposed to according to the radar which showed no rain but the reality was significant rain. wind data points used also are misleading app shows very little wind but actual wind a lot higher in actual location. Still have to use the old websites of tables of data points to get some semblance of what is actually happening weatherwise.
