Good clean app with accurate weather info. My only issue is that the widget opacity keeps showing as 0 (solid background) on the home screen despite me setting it at 10 (clear) in settings... UPDATE: tried opposite of above with glitchy results. After uninstalling & reinstalling, and setting opacity to 0 (which the developer said is opaque) it is all working fine now! Thanks.

Great Australian weather app using the generally more reliable BOM data. Fan of the transparent widget.

Now my favorite weather app. The 5 x 1 widget is absolutely perfect, and exactly what I have been looking for. The developer is very helpful and responsive to suggestions and questions.
