Basically the problem is that from time to time, the widget stops updating. The main application still works and brings up an up-to-date forecast, but back to the desktop and the widget still shows old data. Reboot kicks it back to life but that seems like an overkill.
(Sorry to revive an old thread, I hope it's better than creating a new one. And please, no "use app X instead". I've tried them all and prefer Foreca's simplicity, friendly UI and small size.)
