Beautiful Widgets

Meh,

I bought it yesterday and for the price it's amused me more than enough. It looks very nice and if he adds some more weather functionality I will be happy. The flipclock that comes with Home ++ is nice but this one is beautiful.

Have you had a chance to tap the weather during a weather "event" to see the animation(rain, snow, smow accumulation, etc), it is most impressive and very creative. Makes me sometimes hope for severe weather just to see what else it will do, and believe it or not, I am not usually easily entertained.
 
This thread made me go and buy it. It looks cool, but it runs clunky for some reason. Does it cause things to slow down for anything else?

It also takes about 1.2-2 full seconds to load the weather animation screen when I tap it. Is that normal? I'm using PandaHome if that matters

Thanks
 
Sometimes the animation does lag but considering this app is for visual enhancement it does exactly what I would want... and for a dollar. I like the look of the clock... i'm kind of interested in Weather Widget because the face can be skinned but Beautiful Widgets stays syncd with time and weather very well.
 
Is there any reason to have a higher refresh time than lower?

Also, can someone explain to me what these options specifically mean?

- Geolocation
- Force English weather language

Thank you!
 
Geolocation uses your GPS. It's more accurate.

My weather icon is messed up since the update. It's currently snowing, it says "snow showers" on the widget, but the graphic shows lightning. When I tap on it for the animation, it shows snow. Seems a bit mixed up... anyone else??

"Geolocation" is the option to display weather information at your current location (based on GPS and/or Cell Tower location) vs Default "fixed" location as dicated ONLY by the zip or city/state name in the "Default City for the Weather"

Force English fix? Never remember getting an answer on that one.
 
Excellent, thank you both.

However.. can either of you answer my first question.. "Is there any reason to have a higher refresh time than lower?"

.. and what's the difference as far as phone memory usage for using Geolocation? Or is there absolutely no reason I shouldn't use it.

Thank you,

Yes the widget will update the weather info more often.

The downside is it will use a tiny little bit more battery... I have it set for 15 minutes I think..

Electric Snow! The end is near!!

Just delete your widget and re add it. it will be fine
