Same issue as others... everything with the exception of the temp badge seems to function great. I hope that the badge icon issues can get resolved as that is a great feature. Until that time... I am turning it off.
Okay, so where are the extra sites to go to and get more icon sets?

I don't have much of an issue with my badge. An occasional blip. Like this morning when I opened my phone, it said 1?. I knew it was cold, but not that cold. And the weather stations don't all say the same thing. One said 17?. Another said 23?. The airport said 24?. I use the airport as a second local location. Have you tried turning the badge off, then back on?The temp badge on my iPhone disappeared again and the one on my iPad didn't update since last night.
The app is so wonderful, hope this gets taken care of soon.

Has anyone figured out how to download a custom set with the right HTTP url?? If so could you pass on that info.
We don't know if the problem is because BeWeather fails to set the badge or it fails to run at all in the background. We will add something to an upcoming beta that will help to figure it which one it is.Thanks Pfluger. So since reinstalling both on iPad and iPhone this morning, the badge was updating and "behaving". But now(4pm) I've noticed on my iPad the temp hasn't updated since 2pm and the badge disappeared altogether about 3pm. So far my 5S seems to be ok.
As far as keeping the app active in the background, I've left it alone yesterday and then today since installing it. I hardly ever close out my apps in the switcher, but I know I didn't close BeWeather yesterday or today when I started having the disappearing badge and not updating the temp.
FWIW, I know I have a good wifi connection because I've been streaming iHeartRadio on my iPad since 9am without any cut outs.
Any other suggestions?

Yeah, this is a known feature. Lets you know the total number of unread messages of all apps within the folder ;-)When I added BeWeather 2 to my Wife's phone, I put it in the same weather folder with eWeather HD. Both had a temp badge. So the folder showed 88?. The temp was in the 40's. It added the 2 badges together. LOL!

This has always been like this.pfluger,
Is this something new?
I didn't know I had to have BeWeather in the app switcher for the badge to update.
Perhaps this is why it never updated even with the previous version several months ago.
Is this something you're working so that we no longer have to have it in the app switcher for the badge to update?
I assume it's a minimal drain on the battery.
TIA
Ledsteplin,
You and I both use another weather app that doesn't need to be in the app switcher for it to update the badge icon.
That's why I was a bit surprised when pfluger mentioned it
Regardless, I will use BeWeather which ever way I need to for it to work
.
Good Luck
Ah, well. I have already tried to get in touch with an editor at iMore for a review. Maybe one of the mods can help?Nice find, now for iMore to introduce the new BeWeather2 (hint, hint)...Smile
