This is the perfect simple weather tweak I didn't even know existed. Worth way more than the $.99 I paid.

I was having major usability issues with groovylock. Notifications weren't easily visible, it doesn't slide with touch and most importantly it killed my battery since it is constantly running and never sleeps. Cydget is better on that last one but none are as integrated and feel/look like stock ios 7 like forecast.

I like that I'm just trying to figure out how to use the animations and my wallpaper.

Yes but doesn't it disable the animations when you enable your own wallpaper?

Yes you can't disable the weather wallpaper AND have animations enabled. I suppose that's because the animations are the wallpaper and when animations are disabled it can only use a static image. Maybe the dev will update that.. It would be nice.

Installed it and love it. Is there a way to modify the interval for weather refresh?

My understanding is it uses the stock default weather app for all data. So it refreshes when weather app refreshes. There currently isn't an override. So unless someone can figure out how to adjust the stock weather app's update interval, I don't think it's possible. Now I could be wrong, this is just my observation. But I don't think having an override is necessary since there doesn't seem to be any additional resource drain like there are with other LS weather widgets.

Bummer. So unless you actively go into the weather app, the weather for forecast will not update/refresh?

Forecast is causing my status bar elements to change from white to black.

How can I fix this?

I get the same issue. Also there's a slight delay within the status bar when unlocking my phone.
And when I lock my phone from the lockscreen, the screen does a single flicker after going black.

Other than that the tweak works great, lol.

Is there a calendar tweak to add like a list view or something similar to another page of a widget like this?

Where is it getting the weather location information from? I don't think mine is showing the right city?
Also the hourly is all in A.M.

Anyone else with these issues?

If you're using any stock dynamic wallpapers, change them to static and then reinstall Forecast.

Worked for me.

Will give it a shot. Ive tried just about everything else. I did have it working but it would only show rain on animation. changed some settings and it would just crash springboard. Removed and reinstalled and still crashes.

Everyone... It uses the stock weather app. Either GPS if you have location services enabled in settings or the first location you have set in the weather app. If you are having issues with data, is the stock weather app working as it should? If not then there is no way this tweak will display anything else than what the weather app says because, again, it is dependent on the app.

I've been waiting for this update. It's completely rewritten for iOS 7 and makes use of the stock weather app for all lock screen weather data. There are a few bugs but it is perfectly usable and definitely more stable and functions than any of the other HTML lock screens (GroovyLock, Cydget, etc.) I've tried with weather widgets. Also while the weather animations across the LS and SB are really really cool, I have yet to determine the impact to battery life.

Can you use the large lock screen clock at the top with the large weather information part at the bottom?

This is what I'm after.
