      Hi everyone,

      I have noticed the last couple of weeks that the widget on Android does not show the weather data for my current location as it should by itself. I will have to press the refresh button for it to get the right current location.

      Thank you.

        @sockats Hello, we recommend to set your location in the app to GPS and allow Windy to use your location. What location do you have in the widget?

          @korina When I open the app it shows the correct current location using the GPS. However, the widget, although I have selected to use my current location, it gets it wrong. Only if I manually press refresh on the widget it will show the right location on it.

                I am also having the same issue. If it doesn't be fixed soon, I will probably delete the app. I did not have this issue until recently, so I'm not sure why it's happening now. Thanks

                  @phil1971 Hello, if you didn't allow Windy to use your location, widget will not be able to show it correctly.
