Weather.com is off by several degrees. They list my town but they're temp is taken somewhere else, I think in a town about 20 miles away. weather underground is right on for my zip, 86326.

Are you on version 1.1.2?

I just tried it and it works fine for me 53 degree and cloudy. So the app itself works just have to figure out what's going wrong on your phone.

Yes, I am running 1.1.2 with all permissions set to allow. Could it possibly be something with my browser settings? my first guess would still be the fact that I'm on BES, although there are no IT policy restrictions....

Bought it and loving it. Thanks so much dmg~

I was running WB and SW for about four hours together and they were dead on with temp and actual icons displayed. Then I deleted WB, I only had a little time to compare the two but I was happy with what I saw.

Weather being my game, the reason why the current weather may only update once an hour is because most observations are taken at airports by automated equipment with human augmenters at some locations. If the criteria, such as ceilings, visibility, wind gust/direction change, etc, are not exceeded, then the observation will only take place near the top of the hour. Now if the criteria for a special observation is met, then new weather conditions can come out more often during the hour. Oh yea, great program! Got it.
