I second this. After the recent update, not only the widget doesn't update (manually or automatically), but it's way harder to press the 3-dots at the upper-right corner of the widget in order to click that manual refresh button. The new Premium/Settings/Refresh buttons keep disappearing on the first 3 pressing the 3-dots in the corner. My overall experience using the widget is worsened.

After clearing the cache, uninstalling then installing Windy again, only the very first time the widget gets the data needed for the location. I have the "Updating widget" notification in my notification tray and it stuck up there without doing anything. Any other refresh request obviously fails regardless all permissions are set to allowed.

There's one interesting addition to it: when you change location, then manually refresh it, the widget updates successfully. It's not successful when you don't change location. Seems like a weird caching issue to me. Really frustrating. (Android 8)

@Ondřej-Šutera I confirm all those steps were followed and my current version is the most recent one: 39.1.5. Widget is still useless when the current location is selected until you move elsewhere (then it fetches data one-time-only for the new location normally). What actually doesn't work is the frequent updates for the same location.

@Ondřej-Šutera I also confirm that v39.3.2 fixed all the problems I reported here. Thanks.

@Ondřej-Šutera Even with a complete uninstall, then installing the new version, disabling the battery optimization didn't change anything for me. The widget still doesn't update unless I switch to a new location. Manual refreshes don't change anything reg. the temperature. Horrible experience. (Android 8)

I'm here to confirm your most recent update didn't change anything on my end. The widget still behaves the same: it can update successfully only when the location has changed, otherwise there are no weather updates.

I've noticed your discussion about requirement for enabling notifications and I have to assume that either your key team members may have changed, or they've completely rewritten it with another (more abstract) programming language by moving away from the native way of doing it in order to "save time" - hence these issues became a big nightmare for so long.

@TeaKave Thanks for clarifying. Could you tell me was the previous code base written in Kotlin/React Native and the current one in Flutter/Ionic/ReactJS perhaps? If so, that would answer the previous debate reg. using notifications as an unnecessary requirement. Thanks.

@Ondřej-Šutera That's exactly my build date/version.
