Doesn’t update automatically, not worth the two dollars

The app is absolutely not worth the 2 dollars that it costs. Even as a free app I wouldn’t use it. There’s cheaper and better options out there. The widgets don’t work at all and/or don’t update every hour

I really like the app. Any chance you could have a menu in setup to choose between C° or F°?
