Crisp Widget for Weather
Support
Frequently asked questions
How do I put the widget on my home screen?
Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen, choose "Widgets", pick Crisp Widget for Weather, and drag it to where you want it. You can also open the app and use "Add to Home Screen" on the settings screen (this does not work with some home screen apps).
Once it is placed, touch and hold the widget to resize it.
How do I change how the widget looks?
Opening the app takes you to the settings screen. Change the font, color and opacity, size and more while watching the preview at the top, then tap "Apply & Save" to update the widget. If you have more than one widget, choose the one you want to change in the selector at the top.
The display sometimes stops updating or lags
Some manufacturers (Xiaomi, OPPO, ASUS and others) stop apps with their own battery-saving features.
- Go to Settings → Apps → Crisp Widget for Weather → Battery and set it to "Don't optimize" or "Unrestricted"
- If your phone has a manufacturer-specific "Autostart" setting, turn it on
If the app is stopped with "Force stop" or a cleaner app, its scheduled updates are cleared. Opening the app once restores them.
Where does the weather data come from?
Forecasts from Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com/) are fetched directly from your device (CC BY 4.0). They do not go through the developer's servers. Data is fetched about every 30 minutes, and the display moves forward one hour on the hour.
What is my location used for?
Only when you choose "Use current location" on the settings screen, it is used as the place to get the forecast for. The latitude and longitude are sent to Open-Meteo. If you set the place by searching for a city, no location permission is needed.
How do I change how many hours ahead the forecast is?
Choose 3, 5, 8 or 12 hours ahead under FORECAST on the settings screen. Tapping the widget also cycles through them.
I want a more detailed forecast
From "Detailed forecast" on the settings screen, you can open a 7-day forecast (meteoblue) for that place in your browser.
