Seems to work with the API key.

Only showing integers for temp, no decimals.

great to know, there was no other way (ex. data mining from website).

and unfortunately yes, there are only integer values, like in api source. I reported this to WU, but you know how it works with support...

WU only provides integer temperature values via the API unless you set the 'numericPrecision' parameter to "decimal".  Maybe 'buffy' hasn't done that?

Here's the API docs if you're interested...

I tried it with decimal parameter and got "invalid JSON parameter". But I tried again in another possition in URL and it's working. App is fixed also. Thanks for help.

I actually found your app a few weeks ago when I got my new station and bought it.

Nice app, been using it a lot for quick looks at conditions when I'm at work overnight.....

So - I tried your app today after WU killed wunderstation - unfortunately it retrieves no data on iOS13 from my station KTXHOUS78 which has been sending Rapid Fire updates for years and continues to do so .

Is there any hope for iOS users?

Thanks for a great looking app - just wish I could retrieve my own data with it.

I know it's hard but don't pay attention to those reviews.  There are a lot of people out there who get off on leaving bad reviews even if they haven't tried an app.  I've bought it twice now. :)

great to know app is working :) in PRO version you don't need apikey in some cases. But everybody can grab own after registration on WU.

@Buffy,
Bought your App last Night. Working instantly for my PWS! I made and use my own weather widgets on my Android devices but I really just wanted to support your work. Thanks for your work!

So I got the APIkey error, but I went onto WU, re-requested it (it was the same one, okay), readded it and it works fine.

If anyone gets this error, appears to be the cure....

I use Kustom apps to make my personal widgets. Great Dev (Frank Monza), big community with help & advice, check out the Brandon Craft tutorials on YouTube. Play Store (& Reddit) have lots of free & paid for "presets" & widgets.

I know Kustom apps, but it's only for making widget in application (in phone). I need to make it own way... thanks, I will check it again.

I've been using the free version for about a month and just bought the paid version.  Great job!  I just don't understand why WU/IBM can't put something as concise and usable together with all the expertise they, allegedly, have.

It's most likely that they have determined that the ROI is insufficient to do such a project.

Except that they spent what appears to be quite a bit of resources developing and releasing a "new and improved" version of their old, much more usable app which is anything but.  Instead they should take copious user interface and display notes from this one.

thanks a lot! They have little team for WU I think. And also they only need meteo data...

I love this app and have just purchased the pro version however for some reason it's reading wind speed but not recording direction for me. I've got a VP2 and running the app on a Note 9 if that helps.

What about the wind rose. Is it showing 90 when graph only goes 20? [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
