About Weather Free

Widget with forecasts from over 8.7 million places worldwide delivered by the norwegian meteorological institute (yr.no), updated several times each day. Search or show the forecast for your current location.

Shows forecast for the next part of the day (morning, day, evening or night) and forecasts for the next 3 days.

4x1 and 4x2 layouts with selectable backgrounds and lock screen widget available.

Precise geo-positioning even without using gps, with 4 area sizes (local area, district, community and county) and adjustable position update frequency.

Touch the widget to show the meteogram, a detailed graphical display of the forecast for the next 2 days. Touch the update icon (2 arrows) to manually update position and forecast.

Optional calendar with clock, day, date and week number or more detailed forecast.

Optimized for minimum data and battery usage. Tips to even further optimize this:
- Use network positioning, low position update frequency and forecasts for larger areas (less updates when moving).

Forecasts shown in english or norwegian.

--> If you have problems getting it to start, please make sure you have location services enabled! Go to your phone settings, select "Location services" and make sure at least location with wireless networks are enabled. <--

Tip: If the place you get when using "my position" is incorrect, try to search for the correct place, and choose this. When you select "use my position" the next time, it remembers this place, and uses it when you are nearby.

Ad free version available.

--> Many thanks to Jem for valuable testing and feedback!

Vurderte å ta betalversjonen, men helt "out of the blue", på julaften stoppet appen med meldingen "Getting forecast". Er ikke noe som tyder på at dette gir seg heller. Etter reinstallasjon virket appen i snaut 24 timer, og så var det tilbake til "Getting forecast". Er villig til å gå for betalversjonen dersom utvikler kan fortelle at problemene er rettet der. Fungerer utmerket nå.

...but the update of clock/weather info occasionly stops and does not start until phone is restarted. Galaxy S4. Can this be fixed?

The BBC weather app is the gold standard. This widget is slower to update and does not give you the same level of detail as the BBC app.

This looks great but even though its labeled as 4x2 it is rendered as 3x2 with no option to resize. Because of this it can't be centred on the home screen. Would be 5 star otherwise. This app has the distinct advantage over the BBC weather app of being available outside the UK.

Just installed this widget, looking forward to use this. I had 2 widgets doing what this one can do. Looks nice, but it would be nice to be able to customise the Clock and layout more Great work !!

This is great but I hate how its advertised for the Samsung galaxy S III as if that's the only android phone in the world. Regardless, the app works fantastically on my phone.

its a very nice app. a small request to developer to add an option to make the lock background dark . When we use light wallpaper,its very hard to see the time on the widget.i wil give 4 starts now and wil change it to 5 stars once this is solved

Rapporterer feil her i Las Vegas, NV.. Mener det skal snø og være rundt null grader... Resten ligger nok nærmere 20 utover dagen. Fungerer svært bra hjemme i Norge.

This is a great widget working for yr.no, which is most accurate weather app. However, the widget is little smaller for Samsung Galaxy Note. Is it possible to make the widget re-sizable in the next update? I am mailing the screenshot to you so that you will get idea how it looks like on the Galaxy Note.

Absolutely a Vital App !!!!!

B70%
by B####:

Yr.no seems to have the most accurate weather forecasts for my location so a widget for that weather station is very handy. The widget itself could use a little more feedback, for example on a low speed connection there you could hit the button several times to get the meteorograph and not know that that it is working at all. A few more widget backgrounds would be nice also (grey steel please?). After testing all the other weather widgets, this now has pride of place on my home screen.

One click to go from day view widget to the awesome meteo-weather-graph However even though the app finds my specific location (a town near London)..the meteograph sometimes displays the average weather of the whole of the UK!!? renders the 'find location' feature useless.. takes several refresh's to sort this out. Please fix, this is very frustrating and I will donate ..also...even after the widget updates, the meteograph is not downloaded or cached...and must re-download everytime after clicking the widget or nothing is displayed.

What i like: everything. Fast, detailed, precise What is missing: click on one for more distant (into tue future) forecast. What do the raindrops under the clouds mean?
