Glad you like it! And I have now made the requirement to get an API key even more obvious, as being displayed by the widget itself and having it at the top of the description wasn't clear to people that leave 1 star reviews!

It's clearly stated in a number of places that you must have a weather station that uploads data to Weather Underground to get an APIKEY. Their rules, not mine. While you make not be able to get a key, there's somewhere around 100,000 people that do, just in the US. Why give a bad review when it's clearly stated there's a requirement to get a key?

You wouldn't say that if you had a weather station that sends update to weather underground. There are something like 100k personal weather stations that do that! If you don't fit the requirements, don't use it. There's no reason for a bad review if you don't have what's stated as required.

Yes, and that is stated in the very first line of the description. No need for a bad review. It also say that in the widget if you try to run it without a key.

All you have to do is enter the APIkey using app settings. Is the issue that you can't get an APIkey?

Please use contact developer on the right and tell me what watch you have and what happens, as this really tells me nothing. Is it not working because you don't have an APIKEY for example?

No. That's a condition and it's Weather Underground that requires that. It's clearly stated in the app description and also if you try to use the widget without a key. I have a similar widget for Open Weather Maps where you can get a key without a problem though: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/6a740b9d-7bba-4ed8-bedd-2cabaef4bdcf

The change in getting an APIKEY was made by WU, and it's clearly stated for this widget. Not sure why you gave it a 1 star when you know you needed a key and weren't qualified to get one.

Actually, they changed their API and interface and this widget makes use of the new one. See the description. As stated there, you can only get a new key if you have a PWS that sends data to WU, but it works fine if you have the new APIKEY.

If it won't connect to the watch, please "use "contact developer" at the right, and provide info such as which watch and FW, as well as what you see on the screen. It could be that you haven't set the APIKEY correctly or something, or could be an issue with the connection to your phone.

Yes, as the app needs the internet to get to weather underground, so unless CGM is running, there's no way to get data. It should be OK if GCM is running in the background.

Thanks for describing the problem you are having in such detail! /s Seriously, use contact developer, and ask for help if you are having an issue. Leaving a review like this helps no one. What exactly "broke" and which watch???

Try removing the name of the weather station and then it will find the closest. What you are seeing can happen with a weather station that hasn't been sending data recently, or if there's a typo in the same. You can also press menu in the widget, and it will search for the closest..
