I love my weather apps and this satellite widget is one of my favorites. It would be nice to have more than two custom images but the battery life would probably suffer.

Excellent app. Brilliant to see so few permissions. Would like a code for the satellite abbreviations so you now what your going to view. Very good

I absolutely love this configurable widget! It fits perfectly next to my radar widget to complete my weather page. For some reason just recently it stopped updating. No more satellite images appear! So sad! Hoping it will be fixed soon. I use the true colors eastern U.S. satellite image.
