Sorry, guy.
My only beef, as cool as it is, is how much space it takes up.

Also who is sourcing the local weather data?

It's coming from Forecast.io

I tried out Beweather 2 and I really like it. There are tons of options in the app and widget so you can show as much or little info as you want. You can also customize font, color, and icons.



It combines data from wunderground with a forecast of the next hour's rain from forecast.io.

To confirm, you are saying you can fully customize the widget? Or just the app stuff? This might be MY JAM!

Beweather 2 is worth it for getting the radar map in the widget, alone.

The complete disregard of widget size by weather apps is the reason we didn't have widgets when Jobs was around.

(I just want a simple weekly forecast like old iOS, drat it)

Isn't that what homey is claiming BeWeather 2 does/allows? Or is total customization not affecting frame-size?

Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding. You saying that since it *can* handle large widget sizes, it's always that size even if you minimize the data presented?

You can customize both. If you check out the widget screenshot on the app store you can see all 5 sections - current conditions, minutely forecast which is just what they call forecast.io data, hourly forecast, three day forecast, and text forecast. You can enable or disable any of those. My screenshot has hourly and text forecasts disabled. You can also change the widget theme(background color and text color), font, icons, margin, and you can customize what info is shown on the two lines below "overcast" in my photo.

Yeah, it has a separate settings section for the widget. Here is mine, a little smaller than the other one posted:



If all you wanted was a text forecast, you can do that too:

Yeah it acts weird for me. I think my location is only semi-supported for weather data (I don't get the current conditions other than temperature) and the Flickr photo is just a stock default one rather than a local one so I figured it was all related to that.

I've found it to exactly match my exact-location weather for Weather Underground. So it's very accurate, (IMO).

It also can be very big or very small depending on how much you want shown. Also in terms of Widget background color, text color, icon themes, there are like, what feels like hundreds...

It's very cool.

It didn't start doing that for me until a couple days ago but now, yeah, it's consistently saying "Unable to load" or just displaying blank space. I don't know what did it. Did an iOS update break it? Or an update to the app itself?

I'm gonna jump ship for BeWeather one day soon because that looks nice and I was never like a massive fan of the Yahoo widget anyway, it was just better looking than all the alternatives.

What's the fisher price app for podcasts? My mom is stuck on 6.1.6 and can't use the stock apple app. I'd like the simplest and most fool-proof method for her to start listening to podcasts.

Requires 8.0 it seems, which makes sense because it's not that old of an app.

also if you listen to podcasts a good amount, the $5 upgrade on overcast is a STEAL. Smart Speed has currently saved me an additional 43+ hours since overcast's release.
