### 3/5 — Current location?

*2026-02-04*

When traveling it does not show current location? Is there a setting?

### 5/5 — Widget please!

*2026-01-27*

So beautifully simple. I want these as widgets!

### 5/5 — Add more widgets please 🙏

*2024-11-05, version 1.9.1*

Please add more and more widgets

### 5/5 — Efficient and stylish

*2024-02-02*

My go-to weather info because of fast efficient presentation of my chosen information. I use it for lake season to determine ‘sail or ski’, but this app title is catchier. The developer even said he’d work on all those pesky negative signs on our winter weather (super responsive).

### 5/5 — Great Uncluttered Weather App!

*2023-10-23*

I love how simple and elegant this app is. I can pick just the weather information I want to see, and the best part is that there are no annoying ads. Thanks for putting this out there!

**Developer response:** Hey, thank you so much for the kind words!

If you have any feedback at all, or features you’d like to have, reach out to me at help@shortsorpants.app

### 1/5 — 💯 I like it

*2023-07-15*

Exactly what I was looking for … you can choose the info you want to see displayed as a card ( humidity , wind speed etc.)  on the Today Screen or on the Home Screen .  Your choice of day , two days or ten days , as well as more than one city . 
      I would like to suggest more clothing , perhaps a short , sleeveless dress for summer , some boots & hats for winter , a flannel shirt for autumn  … any weather related items such as a ski  , 
swim , baseball for spring  , sunglasses .
     👗   👢  🕶️  🌂  🌵  🍁  🌪️  🔥  ⛄️  🏈  🪁   ⚾️ ⛷️ 🛶 ☢️  🧢

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! 

More options in addition to shorts or pants is absolutely something we’re thinking about. Stay tuned!

### 5/5 — All the weather info you need

*2023-03-06*

### 5/5 — Widgets?

*2023-01-23*

Great app, love that it’s free. Would be cool if there was an option to add widgets to home and lock screen since that’s how I typically like to check the weather.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks!

Widgets are now here with 1.7. Give them a try and let us know how it goes!

### 5/5 — I love love love it.

*2023-01-15*

Great app. Love the simplicity and accuracy of it. Top notch app and it’s free!!!!!! I had to give 5 stars because it’s THAT good, even tho it’s missing the widget feature😉!!

**Developer response:** Hey! Thanks so much for using the app and so happy to hear you like it! 🥹

If you can think of any way we can make it better, please reach out to help@shortsorpants.app 😁

### 4/5 — I love the app but it needs some improvement

*2022-10-04*

I love the app, but I wish it had an option to see later into the day.  So then I can see the day overall and decide what I wear to school. If you could add that, that’d be great

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for the review and for using the app!

If you tap into the shorts or pants card, you should be able to see both an hourly and daily forecast. Please reach out if this isn’t what you’re looking for or if you have any other questions at help@shortsorpants.app

Thanks!
