Old widgets are no longer supported and it says to update it. The app doesn't need an update... so I assume the widget itself is no longer supported. Any new widget is twice the size and I'll delete the app and use something else before I use a widget that takes up half my home page!!! The former 2x2 widget would show the current conditions and a 3 day forecast. Now both 3x2 widgets display the current conditions only, and most of the widget is blank space. A waste of space!!!

Weather portion is local and fairly accurate. Radar seems a bit "optimistic" , news portion totally useless. Good addition to weather app would be fireap.

Changed the widgets - too big now. Also too big of a notification in notif bar. I liked this app because it was simple and small, but the update has ruined it.
