This update is all about weather. You can now create weather widget exactly to you liking. Combine weather maps, symbols and text of the current weather and/or prediction of the next few days. Of course can can show the weather of multiple places at once or make a widget for each. Features: - Weather maps: Add weather maps for temperature, precipitation, clouds, pressure and wind. - Weather text: Show description, temperature, humidity, UV index, sunrise time, sunset time, pressure, rain, snow, etc. - Weather symbols: Show weather icons. Other improvements: - iPhone devices will now show a Tab Bar instead of a Sidebar for navigation. This should be a nice quality of life improvement for all users. - Text components in the Widget Builder can now be aligned left, center or right. - And of course multiple minor fixes and improvements under the hood. Note: For consuming weather data you need to subscribe to WidgetWorker Pro within the app. You can do this in the Settings view or on the prompt when adding weather components in the Widget Builder. This is necessary because getting weather data actually costs money. Besides it helps me continue developing this app. Thank you in advance!

New Widget Builder components: - RSS feeds: When providing a link it will display the feed in the widget. Of course you can customize it by selecting fonts and colors. In the settings of the widget you can set a reload interval so it refreshes periodically. That way you can for example create a widget of your favorite news outlet and stay up to date with current developments. Selecting a link in the feed opens your web browser redirects you to the related article. - Website: Show any website inside your widget, position it size it as you like and select a refresh interval just like for the RSS feed component. Of course all theses components can be combined in one widget. For example you can have an rss fedd on the left half of the widget and a website on the right half.
