  Semi-accurate Hard to read

  Not sure where they are getting their forecast data, but this app is right maybe 30% of the time in my area. Also, as others have mentioned it’s really hard to read, especially for someone that wears contacts or glasses already. The fonts are too thin, and I haven’t found a way to adjust the background opacity or font colors/sizes to make it more visible. Could stand a lot of improvements. *EDIT* I did find a way to adjust opacity, but it still needs an adjustable color background, and font size/choice to be viable in the future. I’ll hang on to it until the next upgrade and see if anything changes. If not, then it’s off to the trash bin for this one.😜

  doesn't do what is needed

  With one click on the dock icon, I want to have displayed several locations at the same time and not to have one panel take up half of the desktop or require me to enter each location each time I want the weather for that location. Make the panels smaller, credit card size with with a clickfor enlarged reading if wanted and allow, with one click, to display on the screen, all locations at the same time and with one click return them to the dock icon. These need, when displayed, to over lay any thing already on the desktop screennot as i am experiencing that they hide behind anything currently on the screen. Make the panels moveable on the screen. the iPhone weather display is just about perfect. Can. you get near that?

  good but hard to read

  I like what it does; very convenient. I don’t want it huge but the letters are really hard to read (too small, or maybe it is the font that is hard to read) and even though you can make the background more opaque or transparent, I can’t make it totally solid color, to make the letters easier to read.

  Temperature does not stay current

  The graphics are great and functionally it is exactly what I want in a desktop app. But the temperature is updated so infrequently that it is often ten degrees behind what the weather actually is outside. For example, at 8 am it will say the temperature is 55 degrees. At 1 pm it will still say 55 degrees, even though the temperature has gone up to 66 degrees (as multiple other weather sources confirm). Eventually it catches up - by 5 pm it shows 72 degrees, which is the same as the temperature outside (as confirmed by other weather sources). In short: if you want to know what the temperature is right now, it’s useless.

  Weather Widget Live Is Awesome!

  I don’t understand all the negativity with this app. I installed it and I’ve been experimenting with different options and found one that was just right for my screen. I also knew that viewing the widget on your desktop all the time wasn’t going to happen because it is a “workspace” and anytime a window opens up, its going to block it just a many do… unless you’re one of the fortunate individuals able to afford multiple computer screens where you have it showing on one of those “FREE” screens, you might as well be prepared to keep shrinking or moving your windows around. But I haven’t had any issues and I think this Weather Widget Live App is so Awesome and does what it states!! CrabbyOne53
