I've been playing with it on my iPad mini and it is working great. Changes are working with no noticeable lag or problems. I am using the same icons for both.

Sure. Send me a PM with your e-mail address.

Done

Looks very good. How long does Apple usually take to approve beta version?

From our experience anywhere between 6 and 48 hours.

I can't add many widgets and the BeWeather 2 widget remain stable with 4 sections. I had 12 of 20 from Launcher and a countdown widget. BeWeather worked ok. I added Neato, and BeWeather vanished. So to have the widgets I want in addition to BeWeather 2, I'll need to just use 3 sections. As a test, I deleted the countdown widget, and BeWeather came back to life. Is anyone else seeing this correlation between number of widgets and how well the BeWeather widget works?

No, I ran at least 4 widgets with Beweather widget.

I'm running eight different widgets including BeWeather2. No problems with 4 sections of BW2

Maybe it's Launcher causing my problems. I can cut those down to 8 and see what happens.

I have all 16 showing in launcher and haven't had problems with BW2. But I'm not using any custom icons in launcher either, so that might be your issue.

Ok back from our camping trip. Is the final app ready?

So it looks like Apple doesn't work on weekends. Maybe it get's approved tomorrow.

Maybe. I used PNG images. I created most myself. I really don't know. He said it's not my old iP 5. Maybe it's a cache issue. 16? I had 20.

It is strange that one widget does influence another one. That would be a poor implementation on Apple's side. It could mean that when other widgets run the maximum allowed memory changes for all widgets.

This is definitely the longest we have waited for beta approval yet. It just went from 'Waiting for Review' into 'In Review'. So somebody is currently working on it ;-)

Just got the notification for the latest update (2.0.31). Downloading now.

 

[Ledsteplin]

Yep! Let's Roll!

One issue with 2.0.31. It looks like the temperature on the main app screen is clipped just a bit at the bottom:

The move to add the weather measurement unit to the label was genius. I love it.

Still testing stability and other issues.
