In my example, Madison WI's time is also 5:58pm (same as my local time in Chicago area). So this does not seem correct.
I don't think BeWeather 2 and it's developers have control over that. It's like Weather Underground. Have you tried changing your personal weather station?

Never mind!

This is the best weather app....and I have tried most of them. I just moved it to my front page as my primary weather app.

A small request. I now like the darker themes as it seems to make all the reported info more readable. I would love to see the dark blue theme use a pure black as the background vs the very dark grey. Plus I would still like to see a light theme with a dark blue font. Love how we can customize this app.

pfluger,
I did not have to reset the iconset for the widget in NC after this update.
Everything is fine with the rest of the app as well.
Good Luck

I gave done both. Maybe it's my old 5 with the A6 chip. 3 stable sections is a big improvement on my phone. But I'll work with it some more. I tap on the widget, rub it, remove and add back, and switch to the Notification side and back. :)

Hmm I'm on a 5c and didn't encounter problems with the widget except once when the widget froze. That was after I deleted a few locations and the app crashed.
Can you give me the name of an icon set that doesn't work for you?

Actually the app crashed again after I removed locations. If I keep an location open while I remove it, the moment I scroll (within the app) to another location the app crashes.

Now I wonder if the widget froze because I had it on a location that I deleted within the app. Will check that later today. 4.50am now and getting ready to leave for work.

Also within the app, when there is a weather alert, the icon above the temperature is cut off (map closed). Changing the weather station for that location, opening the map or scrolling down the upper part of the screen fixes it.
Not a huge problem though.

Just encountered a strange thing. I have Map Preview OFF. In the app, on the GPS location, I opened the weather map. All was well. I tapped the X to close it and the screen got weird. The top half of the screen disappeared, the bottom of the screen was displayed at the top, and part of the map was left displayed at the bottom of the screen. I was able to scroll through the other locations, and they were fine. However, scrolling back to the GPS location did not restore the screen. I had to force close the app to get it back.

It can't be the phone. Just double checked on an iPhone 4s and it works with all sections and custom icons.

Do you have other widgets in the notification center? Maybe you can try using BeWeather only.

I have a few widgets. Launcher is my big one. I created most if the PNG images used. That may be it. I'll delete all but those and see how it does. If it's working for everyone else, don't worry about me. I doubt I'll use more than 3 sections at a time. Here's my Launcher:

Can you please tell me what is new in BeWeather iPhone app ?
It's a great weather app. It offers a lot of customization. Even a variety of font styles and many iconsets to choose. You can even create your own custom iconsets. There are 8 color themes to choose from. Plus a weather widget with up to 5 weather sections. It's like Weather Underground on steroids. It should be available in the App Store soon.

I've tried several icon sets and themes in the widget, all sections, 5 locations. No issues whatsoever, not even a bounce!

Great job with this update!

I spoke too soon...

The Savoye Let Plain font crashed both the app and the widget. I switched to it for the widget first, and it was too wide for almost everything and was cut off. I swiped to my last location, then changed to another font, but the widget froze before it could change. I tried removing and adding the widget to no avail. It's stuck.

I then tried using that same font in the app to see what would happen. it froze and force closed as soon as the font selection screen closed. Now the app won't open. It'll display for a second showing the menu with the old font still selected and then close down, even after I force quit the app or restart the phone.

I had to delete and reinstall. Selected that font again and got the same result. Now to reinstall again...

I spoke to soon regarding the app updating in the background. Not sure why it did it last night, but not doing it today.

We have everything in place for in-widget map, but it won't make it into the first official release. It adds too much instability, not ready for prime-time yet.

Did you every quit the app by swiping it up from the task manager (double clicking the home button)?

I was able to reproduce this. Thanks!

EDIT: Looks like that font isn't available on OS 8.1 anymore. We will remove it.
