Ratings and Reviews
Tracking for Severe Thunderstorms
Flash floods can be a big problem in the Australia’s Northern Territory and Uluru gets the spectacular lightning storms and same does in Alice Springs and be safe to watch at the Ayers Rock Resort village in Yulara and so many trees are attracted to lightning strikes. And do not swim or boating in the water in places of Australia when the water conducts electricity when lightning strikes. Lightning is one of the most powerful forces of nature. I love watching lightning storms.
Handy weather info
It's really nice to be able to cycle through the "confidence level" of the rain predictions. Most times I just want to know what's likely to happen, but sometimes when you make plans you need to know if there's any chance at all of rain.
Great!
Pro tip: make sure you have “precise location“ turned on or the widget won’t work properly. Otherwise great!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your rating and feedback on the widget release. At this stage the widgets are set to show the weather mood, so after sunset you should be seeing darker backgrounds (unless you have widgets set for locations or timezones that are behind yours).
