<![CDATA[Widget not loading]]>Hello.

I am experiencing the following bug. I use a widget, as seen in the screenshot below, but every time I restart the phone the widget does not load. As you can see, there is just a black window loading endlessly.
Nothing happens if I touch any part of the window, just the loading circle in the top right circles endlessly. To solve it I have to trash the widget and add it again.

It's a bit annoying.

This is likely because tide times are displayed as UTC time, shown with the “Z” of Zulu time.
So depending where you live there is a discrepancy with local time.

But, there is update on the issue. I've enabled permission under Other permissions: Open new windows while running in background. I'm not sure if this solved the problem, but I succeeded adding several windy widgets. So for now problem solved. Thank You for your assistance.

Have you tried adding a widget with a location from favorite locations instead of current location? Does it behave differently? Thanks for the answer.

This option is not present in developermenu. It's interesting that sometimes, I can add widget to home screen and is also refreshing few times then it start burning battery and stops refreshing content. But most of the time adding widget to home screen results in black square with windy logo in corner and three dots in upper right corner, this are nonclickable, when touching them it starts windy app, instead of showing refresh/settings option. I'm also developer, I wrote some small apps on Android too, so if I can provide any more info to You, please say so.
