Hi the overall look is great and could be excellent. But news doesn't work very well if at all and issues with calendar which is a shame, it would be great if you could remove the ads also with a paid version. I'd pay for it if these minor issues were fixed. Keep going with it...

Why won't it show what is on the calendar that I added. It shows holidays and a birthday that is a week away not the anniversary that is today? It shows that Halloween is October 30. What is wrong with this!!!

There's a clock with the WRONG time. It constantly says 10:08 regardless of the time. I realize it's meant as an icon not a clock but it's a clock that's wrong 23 hours 58 minutes each day. Absolutely useless.

Surprisingly, Better than I thought it would be. Gives you almost accurate Weather Forecast, Allows U to look up News RSS of ur preference as well as a Calendar option. It looks Good, user friendly and I Definitely Recommend This App. Great Job guys! 👍 @JesusChristLovesU #ShareSmiles #EveryLifeMatters @Joemurder666 ™ ♈ 😉 👍

Tapping on the center panel will start Activity containing three tabs:

1. First (and default) tab is weather. As you can see from the image to the left it contains the following elements:
- Location weather data is gathered for
- Panel with current conditions and
- Links to five days weather forecast

Default is current data, to see panel with forecast for any of five given days just tap on its icon. To return to current conditions tap on the detailed data panel.

Second is News feeds:
It contains the list of all news from all feeds combined. If you want to see just one particular feed tap on the select button on the top of the list and choose the desired feed.

Last is Calendar. In this version Calendar tab shows:
- In the upper part of the tab - current day, date and year, week number and leap year status.
- List of incoming events.
While in this activity pressing on the Menu button on your android phone will pop the menu with two menu items:
- Settings: Described in detail bellow.
- Refresh:

1. Refresh menu item starts update for news feeds and weather. After you tap it a progress dialog will pop up showing the state of the update. If you press the “Back” button on your phone progress dialog will disappear, but update will continue in the background. When running in background there is no notification when finished, it’ll refresh news and weather data instantly.

2. Settings: Settings is another Activity containing four tabs as shown on the image above:

General tab - handles settings for:
- Home time zone – set your home time zone. Application will offer the time zone set for the device.
- News refresh interval - data will be updated automatically in chosen intervals or manually only when refresh menu item is chosen.

News tab - lets you manage news feeds:
- Use cached data first - opens cached texts of the news items. For some feeds that's only a sentence or two, but for some it is the whole article, by using the cache you avoid downloading it twice. It is especially useful during poor data connection conditions.
- Below the cache setting is the feed management where you can add and remove feeds. You can add localized Google feeds or search for new feeds by term you are interested in or by URL of the feed you would like to follow.

Calendar tab allows you to choose which calendar(s) you want Fusion Info widget to use.
