Users can configure temperature units (Celsius or Fahrenheit), wind speed, barometer, rain measurements, and the 'feels like' temperature. The widget supports http and https URLs to fetch weather data and features options including background and text color customization, text size adjustments, icon display and transparency, and the ability to set auto or periodic updates while the device is active. The integrated temperature chart illustrates hourly variations with daily highs and lows for quick reference.

User Reviews

Users praise the Weather Personal Widget for its clear display of data from personal weather stations and its simple, easy-to-read widget, including a well-liked temperature graph. However, recurring reliability problems dominate feedback: updates often break updating, cause freezes, or render the widget unresponsive. Settings access is limited or broken, making customization difficult. Requests for more customization (icons, placement, widget types) and occasional data/config retention issues further hinder consistency. Overall, its value hinges on reliable operation and expanded customization options.

Pros

Works well with personal weather station data and supports external weather-display programs (e.g., Weather Flow Tempest).
Simple and straightforward widget for quickly viewing weather data.
Temperature graph/visualization is a valued feature.

Cons

Reliability issues: the widget stops updating or becomes unresponsive after updates and can freeze or crash, requiring reinstalls or downgrades.
Settings are inaccessible or missing, with no clear way to adjust options; changes may require force stopping the app.
Lack of customization: no regular widget option, limited icon/placement choices, and other feature gaps.
Occasional data/config retention problems, such as URLs being forgotten.

Recent reviews

I've been using this widget for years and was very happy with it but recently it had stopped updating - it just stated 'Updating' but it didn't update unless I pressed on the temperature (setup screen) and then back to my home screen and then it would update just the once but then revert to 'Updating' again. I checked the version number and discovered that it I was using v 2.8.15 which is presumably the latest so I reverted to 2.8.12 and this solved the issue
