User reviews
I thought I had seen that the icon was changed to show the temperature but it's still the hours until sunset. One of the most useless extensions I've ever seen. I have to wonder why it's even being offered.

I was impressed with the opened etension until I realized that the extension icon shows # of hours until sunrise instead of the actual weather or temp. For a WEATHER app, you deserve a -100 for this. DISGRACE to forecast.io.
