CuteWeather: weather widget

This is a really great app, and I love the idea and how you can customize everything, but I have a pretty big issue with it. So, I live in the US, therefore I am accustomed to the Fahrenheit model, as opposed to the Celsius model. As such, I truly appreciate the ability to change which one the app uses. However, this does NOT apply to the Lock Screen widgets, which is a problem for me because the main reason I downloaded the app is because I was looking for some cool widgets for my new phone. Now, I’m not sure if there’s just something going wrong with my phone, but I have restarted the phone and it stayed the same, so I am not led to believe that this is the case. However, If it is the case, I apologize, but if this something on the apps part, I would love to see it fixed. Lots of love to the developers!!! ❤️

Yes, it’s cute, but it asks you to rate the app before you even finish opening it the first time and continually afterwards. It also tries to push a subscription; this doesn’t need to be done. Those who can afford one will subscribe if the features and user experience warrant it. The biggest problem I have with it is that you cannot naturally set your location. It constantly asks you to enable your location. The widget lets you specify a fixed location, but not the app. Also, they say they are the only customizable weather app, but this is by far not true. I gave both my Weather Channel app and the WeatherBug app customized and both of them let me enter more than one static location. The amount it insisted that I turn it on made me wonder if there are using that data inappropriately or are selling user info. Overall, it las so admitting that I deleted it within 10 minutes. I can’t seem to change the background color of the widget and so it clashed with my wallpaper, so it also didn’t serve the purpose I wanted it for—a weather app that fit a cute ascetic. If you don’t mind these things, then perhaps it will work for you.

Review for 1.12: They’ve made it just what I’d like!! Not only are the cute icons back and as cute as always, they gave us the ability to choose whether to have the widget change colors with weather/time, or a static color to match or complement your wallpaper as you please. I personally like to have it change! (Note: to enable that, you have to place the widget then long press on the widget to select “shuffle color”.) The weather is accurate to within a degree or two of other reports (easily a matter of where the data is coming from.) And conditions update appropriately. I love the windy one. Can’t wait to see snow!! Original review for 1.11: The last update broke everything good about the app (mainly the cute weather icons, but also location and Celsius versus Fahrenheit was broken). Thankfully they have patched it and it’s working again. It’s a very simple weather app, it won’t replace Carrot or Dark Skies or even the default Apple weather app. But if you just want a cute widget to give you basic temp and conditions this one is lovely.
