## Review summary

Most reviewers praise the app for accurate and generally reliable weather data, with the icon sometimes displaying weather correctly on the home screen. The dominant pain points are lack of automatic updates for the home screen icon, leading to stale or incorrect temperatures, and perceived false advertising about auto-update features (especially paid options). Users also report slow updates and a desire for faster, more reliable refreshes.

### Pros

- Accurate weather information.
- Generally reliable weather data.
- Icon initially shows weather on the home screen.
- Overall positive impression of the app despite issues.

### Cons

- Home screen icon does not auto-update; requires opening the app or manual refresh to refresh data.
- Icon temperature is often incorrect or out of sync with the actual conditions.
- Promised auto-update (including paid option) does not work and feels misleading.
- Updates are slow and users want faster automatic refresh of the icon and conditions.
