About: Simple Weather Widget is simply the best weather widget in the App Store. It
provides a highly customizable, very compact, beautifully designed widget in the
"Today" view on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, which displays the current
weather (and, optionally, a forecast) for your location.
Table of Contents:
With a "Premium" upgrade, the widget can access more detailed data ("feels like" temperature, UV index, forecasted precipitation likelihood etc.) powered by the Dark Sky weather data service (it's a paid service, which is why the Premium option costs a bit more).
It provides a highly customizable, very compact, beautifully designed widget in the "Today" view on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, which displays the current weather (and, optionally, a forecast) for your location.

I purchased your widget several months ago. It is a great widget: nicely designed and easy to configure.
Unfortunately it is problematic in its only function. For example, last Saturday It forecasted rain for my home town through to the end of the following week.
However, AcuWeather showed a more sunny forecast as did the local Weather Service.
So I think you need to look into receiving your weather data from a more reliable source.
Additionally, the email listed on your website bounced my mails.

It's good. But I wish SimpleWeatherWidget would make two rows for the information (ie hourly forecast for the day). It's info I love having in the today screen, but squeezing it all in one row makes it small, crunched up, and hard to read.

Simple, quick, no unneeded videos. Loads in seconds unlike the bloated Weather Channel. Far superior!

Completely horrible forecasting. It’s never really right until about an hour before hand. Cool looking app. Completely unprofessional and unreliable data.
By skversky
Does not work. App doesn’t even show up on the Add Widget List. Useless.

I've gone through all the weather widgets I could find and this one has exactly what I needed. It lets you choose exactly how much and what data to display in the widget and does so intelligently. It presents a large amount of data (if you choose so) but does so in an easy to understand manner. Apple would be smart to license this widget and build it right into ios. It was worth the price for me. One suggestion like another reviewer mentioned was for a slight color to the weather icons, for instance to make a rainy day easily stand out from a sunny day at a glance. Either way this is my top widget!

The clean compact design of this widget is so much better than the others in SimpleWeatherWidget Store. Lots of information in barely any space, and it looks nice and clean. The free version has an annoying banner so it's kind of useless except as a "preview". As far as the reviewers complaining about the price, The premium version is definitely on the pricey side, but I went with it anyway because I wanted the UV index and precip forecast. If you don't care about that it's only 99¢! So far, very accurate forecast, and exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommended.

I can't believe how few weather widgets there are available on SimpleWeatherWidget Store. Nevertheless, this is the only one that you need.
Unlike some other weather widgets, this one doesn't hog the entire Notification Center yet it still manages to provide far more useful information that the widgets from the big-name developers. It respects the fact that the Notification Center is a limited space. The widget is also customizable so you can display as little or as much information as you'd like.
Just one tweak is all this widget needs. It would be nice if the widget would list the city for which the weather is currently displayed. I travel a lot and it would be nice to have that information so I know exactly what city the widget is using (otherwise I have no idea if the widget properly updated for my new location).
Other than that it is a nice clean interface that looks great in my Notification Center.

I can't tell you how many weather apps I've tried looking for one that can do a widget with a multi-day forecast. This is the only app I could find.
I had to buy IAPS to get it to work because for some reason it couldn't figure out my current location. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt though, because I'm not sure if it's SimpleWeatherWidget 's fault or Apple's fault.
In any case, it works great now.

This is the perfect weather widget. It shows all the essential information and offer customizable info's to view in the widget. It is also one of the few widgets that actualy shows the wind. What makes SimpleWeatherWidget awesome is that it refreshes every time you open your widget to look at it ( unlike most apps ). It also shows you hour forecasts on the widget and daily lows. Awesome app !!!

This is a great app. Even though The free version has a scrolling upgrade message, it only comes up every so often. The developer did a lot of work to make this beautiful app and deserves the 99 cents to lose the scrolling message, really a small price to pay. The graphics are perfect, the conditions have been very accurate and it works flawlessly. Great app!

I have been looking for a good weather widget for some time and have tried dozens of them. This is the only one I've kept. Completely customizable, shows only the information YOU want! Accurate and follows your location so you always know the current conditions wherever you are. Go ahead and try them all but this is the one you'll keep.

I've been looking for a widget that shows both hourly and daily forecasts in a compact way and his app is perfect for that.
Only comment I would make is not sure how accurate the data source is - seems out of line with most other apps incl. the Apple one which seem to be pretty accurate in my experience. An option to select different met data sources would be very nice.
By ios 5 was the best
Takes very little space on today view while providing both hourly and daily forecast along with lots of other info such as humidity wind sunset etc, updates when I pull down NC and the scrolling text never annoyed me like others complained!
By RPNtys
Best weather widget I've found. Updates conditions fast, lots of info without taking up a lot of space.
New version seems much more accurate (thank you!) but still not quite as good as Weather Underground or NWS for my location.
By 73bludevil
Just what I was looking for. Takes up minimal space in "Today" view but provides all the needed info. Seems accurate and timely. The locations indicated seem strange and somewhat random. Not sure where they come from. I would prefer just the name of the city.
