It's been nice to read comments from happy users and improvement ideas from others. I've been reading this forum a long time now and if we're able to allocate more resources for development in the future, I'm hoping to write something here and maybe get some interactive feedback from you guys. We're not a big bad company

This was a refreshing surprise! I'm glad you've come across the thread and decided to reply back. I also hope that you don't take criticism too personally. We're all spoiled critics. The OMweather guys have been at it for quite some time and it shows--they've made a quality product. I hope that you can take to heart and keep the features that have been complimented by the users as well as consider the criticisms as constructive.

I for one look forward to seeing what you do with this application. Despite the commercial tinge of the watermarking and closed-source nature of the application, I'd like to see where you go with this. Different implementations of a good home application like a weather widget serves to provide diversity to people who might otherwise prefer one or the other implementation.

Thanks again for posting into the thread and letting us know that you do read the comments! Be well!
