## Description

Meteo Weather Widget is a highly customizable weather app that displays detailed forecasts directly on your smartphone's home screen through a sleek meteogram. Unlike basic weather apps, it offers clear visualization of temperature, precipitation, wind speed and direction, air pressure, and cloudiness over short and medium-term periods.

Easily add a compact 4x1 widget to your home screen, set your location or allow automatic detection, and get instant access to concise weather data. The paid "donate" version expands features with long-term 10-day forecasts, humidity, sunrise/sunset times, moon phases, wind chill, enhanced graph visuals, and more. The app uses reliable weather data from MET.NO and NOAA (US only), making it a trusted tool for weather monitoring.

## Review summary

Meteo Weather Widget is praised for its clear and attractive weather display, being an effective replacement for earlier apps like AIX. Users appreciate its configurability and developer responsiveness. However, the app struggles with automatic updates stopping unpredictably, has limited widget size options, lacks extended forecast and notification features, and can be initially confusing to set up. Battery saver settings on devices often impact its proper functioning. Overall, while issues exist, the app is valued for its accuracy and user interface once configured correctly.

### Pros

- Clear and attractive widget graphics with 48-hour forecast.
- Provides a neat, configurable, and user-friendly widget with detailed meteogram information.
- Good replacement and successor to older AIX weather widget app, with accurate forecasts.
- Developers respond quickly to user feedback and update app accordingly.
- App is stable and useful once correctly set up with battery saver exceptions.

### Cons

- Widget frequently stops updating automatically requiring manual refresh or device restart.
- Limited by only two widget sizes and no landscape mode, making some displays too small.
- Lack of features like longer forecast periods (5 days) and day/night cycle visualization.
- No notifications or alerts for significant weather changes.
- Initial setup can be confusing; some users face difficulties placing or opening the widget.
