      Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Android 14, OneUI 6. Confirming the same. The Widget stopped working and there was a huge battery drain, so I removed the widget, but Windy is still a huge drain on the battery - see the attached screen grab.

        @gsallman Except this software won't let me attach a screen grab... so here's a link to the image on Dropbox.

        I don't know how the OS / phone calculates these figures, but 5 hours of CPU and 7 hours of GPS for an app that's running in the background, with just 2 minutes of screen time, seems excessive.

          I did some more research in my phone's records. Prior to the update Windy's battery usage was less than 1% per day. After the update it's running at 15-20% per day.

          [edit to clarify that it is the battery usage that increased]

            I am experiencing the same issue on an iPhone 11 Pro Max running the latest iOS version 17.

                @ToniSR There is a certain progress on the end of development, but it will still take some time, unforutnately.

                  @Suty as per my posts above again on a Saturday and at 6:10am (GMT) the widgets stop updating, however I'm not suffering battery drainage like others. When I click the widgets or open the app it works just fine, just the widgets not updating so the only cure is a complete restart of the phone.

                    Deleted windy completely for now :(

                        @ToniSR We are testing the new version with potential fix. Hopefully, it will be a solution in a few days.

                              @NextStep The new version with major update of widgets should be released in these days.
