If on Anniversary update, you have been experiencing unreliable notifications, this update has a quick-fix for the issue. Also, general other improvements.

Strawberry Weather v1.4.46

A lot has been improved with Strawberry Weather now!

* A new UI, now more beautiful and elegant. Makes better use of the screen real estate to show the weather in a beautiful manner.

* It's available on XBOX now. Though we can't test it, as we don't have one. So please provide feedback!

* Some people had slow GPS lock problems after Anniversary Update and the issues have been solved now!

* Better battery usage, which already was so minimal, has been decreased even more now! So, little to no battery usage in background!

I am very sorry that we had promised am additional weather source via an update, but it has been taking so much time. Partly due to I am having my exams, and other personal things. I am a student and a learning developer, so, please bear with me. The additional weather source will be available really soon!

Thank you all for using Strawberry Weather, it is now between first 15 searches in the store if you search for 'Weather'. Thank you for all the love! I will keep on updating it regardless of market-share!

Great App! Being an amateur (from the etymology, not from the connotation) meteorologist, I've tried, installed and uninstalled countless weather apps. This is one of the apps that I keep for one important reason: it gives me notifications about the upcoming weather condition without even opening the app or looking at the live tile.

I'd like, however, to see more frequent notifications or higher resolution weather information. Right now I'm getting weather information every three hours - not bad (some apps have data every 12 hours!), but there may be room for improvement.

Keep it up!

Hi, I'm working on adding another weather source for the same concern, but it involves a lot of coding, also icon packs needs to be tested, so it's taking time. Also, I am just learning programming. But it will be ready soon! Thank you for using Strawberry Weather!

Not bad for someone who's "just learning programming"! I've attempted to study programming a few months back just so I could develop my own weather app with my specifications, but other things came up so... I'm back to weather charts, models... and of course the apps that can be downloaded now - including yours.

Looking forward!

Why there is a note saying those who own true experience can enjoy dark sky service until Feb 1 2017?

Any way to tap into Cortana to know my places I'm tracking weather wise so I don't have to keep setting it up?

I know it's not that hard but with so many weather apps to try, it gets tedious

I don't understand what you mean to say. I will try my best to implement it.

Re: 'Strawberry Weather' [UWP] a beautiful way to weather!

I'm trying to think how not to re-enter my places all the time for each weather app I try. Cortana has a storage, asking for what weather you want to track and would be good if you can access this data to have places pre setup/managed

Oh, okay! I will try! It must be either too easy or just impossible to get the cities!

I'll let you informed.
Thank you for using Strawberry Weather!

Ok cool, we are supposed to embrace the cloud but if the cloud doesn't share information then it's all pointless!

Yeah, It would be really good if I could access Cortana Notebook data. That way I can enable MS account log in in my app, would be able to copy weather preferences right from there ex. units, also would be able to use your name to greet you while the weather is loading initially, like 'Hello white_Shadoww', also favorite places would be available always even if you uninstall the app.

Anyway, how do you like the app?
