I haven't tried Bing Weather for the lockscreen pic but I did try Bing the other day. After nearly two days with same pic that I wasn't crazy about I changed it back to one of my kids. The Bing Weather tile did update once yesterday but hasn't since.

Hmmm... The live tile has been working fine but now I question the data. It says the high for today is 40F and the low is -4F. Other sources list the low at 26F. That is a huge difference. It gets weirder. The hourly forecast says the negative temps will happen overnight into tomorrow morning. But the high/low for tomorrow is 41/33. It says it gets its data from Accuweather but Accuweather does not show the same data. Man, I really like this app. I just wish it worked properly!

I have had problems with Bing Weather live tile on both my windows 8 laptop and my Ativ S windows phone intermittently for 9 months. Gave up last week and now have Weather Channel on my laptop and Amazing Weather HD on my phone. Too bad because it was a nice looking app.

I think the correct question is, has anyone seen this app work? Mine appears to have the location hard-coded in the app as Redmond, Washington, even though MSN Weather online (same login as Windows) knows I live in Plymouth, Indiana. I've made a daily routine out of opening the weather app every morning, telling it I live in Plymouth, Indiana, and watching it lock up for the day. I close the app each evening and try again the next day. I keep thinking eventually Microsoft will fix their app, but apparently I expect too much. I have location settings turned on, and other apps know where I live. It's only MSN Weather that will look nowhere other than Redmond for weather data. I think the programmers must have hard-coded that default location for testing purposes, and then forgot to remove it before distributing their app.
