Re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

New beta has a fix. Maybe.

Yes. The BeWeather 3 Beta has fixed the overlapping issue on Zoomed effects.

Thanks Pfluger

Thanks @Spencerdl for confirming the fix works.

The official release should be available on the App Store in a couple of days.

No problem. You think maybe we can get a BeWeather homescreen widgets implementation on this beta?

Any possibility of Apple Watch integration?

After updating to version 3.1.27 (new icon!), forecast only extends 24 hours from update time. Forecast now ends at 1600 ET, today Feb. 1. Deleted and reinstalled, now no forecast or current conditions (USA) at all.

Update: Seems to be working after a couple more force-quits, and adding London UK as a location. Switching between locations seems to help.

Further: Several SIGSEGV logged while trying to update settings. Seems to be working OK after some bouncing around.

Mine is a mess as well - possible that some changes might be afoot with its Weather Source ie Dark Sky after its acquisition by 

I'm not having any issues here in the USA, however I was hoping for a new homescreen widget with this recent beta release.

Tentatively, seems to be fixed after some rasslin' with it. BTW, I'm on iPadOS 14.4. I suspect there are some problems building the internal settings. I know that settings/preset mangement has changed with iOS 14, so that may be the cause of these glitches.

The location switching ( for me) didn't fix the problem. I'll leave it several hours though and report back later.

Just curious about what exactly is BeWeather doing or not doing on your iPhone?

This is an easy one - it was still missing most of the hourly forecast data etc around 10 AM this morning, but is fine now 13:50.....

There's some sort of problem updating either the first location, or the current location. Can't tell which since they're the same for this home-bound iPad. Opened the app just now and the last update was 3 hours old. Swipe to another location, updates promptly. Back to first location, still old info. Go to Home screen, swipe right to view widget, updates fine. Then the app also has current data. It seems as if opening the app does not immediately trigger an update, nor does any subsequent action. But the widget is implemented to work as you'd expect.

Edit: If I leave the app running, it updates promptly when opened. The problem occurs if I force-quit the app. Then when I open it the first location remains frozen at the previous time it was viewed. Apparently, starting the app does not trigger an update. I choose to force-quit BeWeather because it holds as much as 13,000 pages (16 KB) of processor memory (not storage), which is inconvenient for my other apps. That's 200 MB of useful space.

A new beta is available.

There are some big changes coming to BeWeather.

- We have changed our weather data provider to OpenWeatherMap.

- We are making BeWeather free (Future premium features might only be available as a subscription, but if you paid for BeWeather previously you will keep all the features that you have paid for.)

The free version will show an ad banner on the forecast screen. If you are seeing this as a paid user please go to BeWeather settings and select 'Restore Purchases'.

Re: BeWeather v3 (Beta) for iPhone

Are the changes only in Beta versions or also for general release??
Openweathermap is a first class source and is either now the default in free versions or at least a choice for 'Today Weather' as well. From my location in the Caribbean it's accurate & I believe is UK based. I will watch for the App update as Beta isn't my thing. Thanks for this!

We removed the old legacy widget. If we bring widgets back it will be the new iOS 14 widgets.

Well I do miss the widget - it was one of the best legacy weather widgets - and I hope you bring it back in iOS 14.

Also in iOS 14.4 the 7 day forecast is missing data in the latest beta

This is what I found on Forecast Advisor for OpenWeatherMap in my area. I downloaded the OWM app on my iPhone and it does not have a radar. Will BeWeather have a radar? Check out your accuracy on forecastadvisor.com

We removed the old legacy widget. If we bring widgets back it will be the new iOS 14 widgets.

Is there a reason why we can't have both?
