Help Beautiful Widgets (Weather)

[jamor]

I have a couple different weather apps.

I recently purchased Beautiful Widgets.

It has been raining hard all day, and even with GPS update activated, it said it was cloudy all day and it seemed to be about 4-5 degrees off every other site.

Is anyone else having Beautiful Widget mis-weather info?

My 24hours is up so it doesnt really matter. But I'm curious.

Same here. It is close but it is not as accurate as other services/the HTC widget/products. But I love the Beautiful Home Smaller so I can live with it. It says it is 74 but it is really 80 here. The difference really doesn't bother me. I'm still wearing shorts and a t-shirt lol and I have Accuweather as a bookmark.

+1 I tried it and uninstalled it.

maybe they have a guy locked in a room and he's manually updating all the weather by himself

Maybe they have their servers set to sync weather data every three hours to save on battery life?!?

True enough, slightly off topic but when weather apps sync (or Google/Gcal) it is a battery HOG. I had those apps syncing every 10 minutes by default (didn't realize it) & got maybe 9 hours on a stock battery. Changed those sync settings & wham! am getting 19+.

+1 Absolute rubbish!!! Google weather is absurd. My wm with sense and accuweather was "beautiful". Now I get a current tem of 39 with a mx showing 32!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in the Himalayas with glorious clear crisp tangy weather and google and beautiful widgets says just this day after day...HAZE and Fog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great accuracy..........

I use the "Beautiful SMall Home" and have it set to every 2 hours. I'm not a weather freak so I have it set so when I hit the sun. moon, clouds, whatever it opens up a 3 day forecast which then manually syncs. It's been spot on so far.

With the Beautiful Widgets app, are the weather effects still there when you unlock the phone? I like how the rain drops show up on the screen...

just increase the interval it checks

My weather has been spot on ever since.. not sure what was wrong that day but it's been doing well.

The Beautiful Home animation doesn't work on my home screen. Any suggestions?

It's not supposed to as far as I know (if it is mine doesn't work either lol)....but hit that little sun/moon/clouds/etc...and you have a sweet little graphical display of what the weather is doing

It works when I click on the Sun, Moon, etc in the extended forecast screen, just not on the home screen
