Simple Weather Widget is simply the best weather widget in the App Store. It provides a highly customizable, very compact, beautifully designed widget in the "Today" view on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, which displays the current weather (and, optionally, a forecast) for your location. Finally a weather widget with NO WASTED SPACE on your Today screen!

A simple, clean, compact design with lots of options so you see as much or as little information as you want. Available information:

Current Weather:
- Temperature
- Clouds/Precipitation
- Relative humidity or dew point
- Todays high/low temperatures
- Wind speed and direction
- Sunrise/sunset time
- Severe weather alerts (premium users only)
- "Feels like" temperature (premium users only)
- UV Index (premium users only)

Forecast:
- Temperature (hourly & daily high/low)
- Clouds/Precipitation
- Precipitation likelihood (hourly & daily) (premium users only)
- Wind speed (hourly) (premium users only)

As much or as little as youd like of all that information, and it only takes up a tiny bit of your Today View screen space.

You can also change the colors, select from three icon styles, or add a background image.

The free version features high quality weather data for your area from OpenWeatherMap. With a "Premium" upgrade, the widget can access more detailed data ("feels like" temperature, UV index, forecasted precipitation likelihood etc.) powered by the Dark Sky weather data service (its a paid service, which is why the Premium option costs a bit more). Theres also an economical "Plus" option that simply removes the "free version" message and updates the forecast more frequently.

To add the widget to your Today view, once youve installed the app, just swipe down from the top of the screen, select the "Today" tab, and then find the "Edit" button at the bottom of the page. Under "Do Not Include", youll find an item called "Weather" with the apps icon. Tap the little green (+) button next to it, and youre all set!

Pros and cons of Simple Weather Widget app for iPhone and iPad

Simple Weather Widget app good for

Takes very little space on today view while providing both hourly and daily forecast along with lots of other info such as humidity wind sunset etc, updates when I pull down NC and the scrolling text never annoyed me like others complained!
The best weather widget! Complete, compact, with a nice design that can be modified with several options (icons, background color and text ...) I hope that the French language will be included in a future update. Essential Widget!
I love this widget because it displays all the info we need in a very small way. Awesome!!
This widget is great. The weather forecast is accurate the design simple and to the point. It packs quiet a bit of info into little space. This way one can see the weather and for instance also the calendar all on one screen without the need to scroll! Thanks. Keep it up!
Very nice widget ... But would be perfect if this app would be modified as an universal app giving us a proper iPad layout in the notification center and when using the app to configure its settings.
This app is great for the most information about weather in a clean compact way. Seems to be bug in 9.2.1 that the data disappears until I tap. Hopefully this is fixed soon!

Some bad moments

I loved this widget when it first came out, it packed a lot of info and options in a small space, but IAP creep and wildly inaccurate forecast data have made me abandon this for BeWeather and its widget.
Good info, but it doesnt update. Mine is currently sitting with a spinning wheel and a message saying that the last update was 4 hours ago. Sort of useless.
Its a really nice widget. My daily summaries just werent working for me. I can even include a picture and it shows up in my widgets, but its inaccurate compared to all my other data. I trust my iPhones preinstalled weather app the best, but since it doesnt have a specific widget I downloaded one, the temperatures are actually quite different.
It is easy to use. But its not accurate nor does it update regularly. If I cant figure it out soon I will have to delete it. Sorry.
This is the perfect weather widget. It shows all the essential information and offer customizable infos to view in the widget. It is also one of the few widgets that actualy shows the wind. What makes this app awesome is that it refreshes every time you open your widget to look at it ( unlike most apps ). It also shows you hour forecasts on the widget and daily lows. Awesome app !!!
Just what I was looking for. Takes up minimal space in "Today" view but provides all the needed info. Seems accurate and timely. The locations indicated seem strange and somewhat random. Not sure where they come from. I would prefer just the name of the city.
