I am just a new user but I love Meecast already. What a shame that Sailfish does not have the concept of home screen widgets, or Meecast could replace Foreca I still use on my N900. One possible workaround could be showing the forecast for the next X days/hours on the cover, but that is just an idea thrown in the ring. I have also found I had to make some compromises when coosing the provider, but again I blaim the provider, not the app.

There are two tings I wanted to mention/ask that I believe are about the app and not the provider, BICBW:
  1. The sunrise/sunset, if they are shown at all, are only shown for today. That is somewhat less useful than it might be. It is more interesting when the sunrise is going to be tomorrow, rather than when it was today. Similarly for the lenght of the day.
  2. The air pressure is 101 kPa, not Pa as the app is showing.

That's it. Minor things. Congratulations on such a successful and popular app and... thanks!

Thanks for bug report. It will be fixed in next release.

2-nd kPa will be fixed.

Works like a charm now... On previous versions had to tap to update widget, now it all just works like it should

Nice app.
Also giving +1 to the idea of showing several days forecast on the cover.

I mean, I pretty much know the current weather at my location if I look outside the window (except of the exact temperature). I'd rather have the information what the weather will be tomorrow and perhaps some more days after that (space and readability permitting)

I also think this could be a cool option to toggle between in settings. Or maybe even better, change every few seconds on cover between the two states (now / forecast).

I have not any ideas how it can work for a small cover page.
