Corrupts too easily - Version: 1.42, 9/13/2007 01:03AM PST

I'd really like to like this widget, but it's just too unstable. I like the way it can find independent weather stations, though the forcasts appear to still come from "official" weather stations. My biggest problem is that this widget can rarely survive a computer restart without losing its settings, and the settings cannot be restored because something in the plist file or the widget itself gets corrupted. I don't want to have to delete all traces and reinstall this thing just to get it working again.
Very good, with one tiny "but" - Version: 1.42, 8/26/2007 02:08PM PST

Widget is excellent, gives more information than the Apple-supplied alternative.
But: What's with the so-called "photo feed"? Why does a *weather* widget also need to download a whole bevy of unrelated images of "pets", "natural disasters", "wild animals", "windmills" and, yes, random past weather events -- which get optionally displayed in a tiny window below the weather, to boot. Click on them, and you can see them full-size in your browser. Harmless, I guess, but definitely a bit odd.

Until this, the radar had also started behaving oddly. After a while, the radar no longer displayed the recent radar. Instead, it would display the same radar for days/weeks on end until I restarted my mac.
As near as I can tell, things started going wacky with Leopard. So that this widget doesn't advertise 10.5 compatibility is enough to let people know "downloader beware".
I used to recommend this widget. No longer.
I wish I knew of a way to give feedback to Weather Underground but there is no obvious way I found.
The way it used to work, I would have given it 5 stars. Right now, 2 stars.
