      Hello @mcgon, thank you for the additional info. We haven't solved the widget issue nor do we have a bug repairs/new features schedule available to share.

      The solution for both of these issues is still in progress.

      We are sorry for the possible inconvenience, thank you for your understanding.

      Petra

        The UI is now fixed in latest release. I get to see 5 days in the widget on my pixel 5 now. Thanks guys.
        Location appears fixed too although I've not tested that long enough yet.

            Looks like the location issue is fixed too. I've not seen it since the last app update. Thank you all for the great work here. 😍

              Seeing my location in Widget change to random places again. London. Seattle. etc.
              not sure. Seemed to work fine for the past while.

                  Hello!
                  Let me share my experience also. I am from Koper, Slovenia. My widget always shows the weather in Neuhaus Am Klausenbach, Austria. When I click on the cog and "update widget" it switches to my hometown, but just for a short period of time... After minutes I get the Austrian forecast again.
                  My question is: how do you pronounce Neuhaus Am Klausenbach?

                    Hello @Thomy, have you previously allowed the application to use your location? (Can be found in your Settings.)
                    What option have you set in the widget regarding the location? Use GPS or you set your hometown?
                    What version of the application (Menu, scroll down to check it) and operating system do you have?

                    Petra

                      Hi @petra-pik

                      The behavior I see is the same as @Thomy . However, I am in Dublin, and my location keeps reverting to London. When I click refresh on widget, it finds my local location correctly, but it resets to London after a while. Here is the information you asked for - hopefully it helps.

                      Version of app: 27.0102
                      Version of Android: 11 - Build RD1A.201105.003.B1
                      Android permissions: Location - 'Only while app is in use' (this is the only setting I can choose from Android app info page other than 'Ask every time' or 'Deny')
                      Widget Location setting - {My Current Location}
                      App Location setting - Start-up location: Use GPS
