      Hello
      Sometimes when i look a forecasts in the widget they are different from forecasts shown in app, even if the models used are the same.
      I attach the screenshots from my android phone.
      For example the widget says that tomorrow evening is going to rain, but the app says that tomorrow evening it is just cloudy.

        @frank-8f Hello, the data may be different, because the data in the widget were cached from the previous update.

          @Korina ok so if the app handles the cache in wrong way I suppose it is a bug.
          Anyway today it happened again and the widget doesn't refresh even if I tap the "refresh" button manually.

            @Frank-8f Hi. Only the widget is using cached data, the main application does not. If the data in cache are not outdated the widget automatically loads them from the cache when you tap on the refresh button.

              Today the problem popped out again.
              This time i tried to switch from "3 hours forecast" to "1 hour forecast" and as you can see from attached images the displayed forecast is completely different.
              Then i switched back to "3 hours forecast" but the displayed forecast was not updated and was showing old expired data.
              In my opinion the cache is not handled correctly and it should be set as "expired" when a new forecast update is released.
