The app is really quite polished. I would like to see:
A better live tile (current front tile is kind of meh, back tile is nice though)
Lockscreen showing not just a flickr image, but some weather info. would be nice

Thanks, I'm investigating how to put the forecast weather in the lockscreen with the small memory available in background agent.
