Android without any doubt is the most feature packed, customizable, and flexible mobile operating system out there. Now, speaking of the feature pack, one of the best if not the best feature in Android is the widgets feature. A Widget gives the user the ability to add a functional part or piece of an application onto the home screen provided the application supports the widgets feature. Moreover, one could also call widget as a mini version of an application placed onto the home screen. Depending upon the widget, it may provide just basic or advanced functions available in the application. However, it is not necessary that a widget should provide all of the functions available in an application given that it is a mini version of a full-fledged application. With widget as the point of focus here, today I would like to review a weather forecast app that adds simple yet elegant weather widgets to the home screen of any Android device. The app is called Simple weather & clock widget.
Don’t worry, this app also shows weather info in itself too. However, in this article, I would like to give more importance to widgets which, well, according to my observations some people have forgotten or say are unaware of.
