Works great for viewing my personal weather station data.

Doesn't set up right on my phone, and I don't like that there is no regular widget for the app even though it's just a widget

Two vital items missed. Please add for higher rating. Better icons (user replaceable icon sets) and placement would help as well. Update: Removed a star because "Removed the decimal when the temperature is displayed in °F". Somtimes it forgets the URL even though unchanged.

Samsung Galaxy S8. As of 11/2019 this Widget no longer responds in any way at all. No longer downloads data & no longer responds to touch input. Uninstalled & reinstalled. No luck. Basically dead now.

The graph behind the temp and the decimal in F temp need to be replaced, otherwise I like the update. Was wondering when heat index, windchill, etc. were going to be added!
