Weather docklet not working

Weather docklet not working

"Feed not available"

The weather docklet stopped working about a week ago (end of August 2018). All I get is "Feed not available, try again later"

You can go to AccuWeather's site and get all the weather information you want without being charged, so why the heck would they care if someone puts their link into an ObjectDock tile for accessing the same weather information.?

Well it's October 5th and still not fixed, so I guess we can kiss that docklet goodbye,   A few months ago, Accuweather started asking for money for the hourly forecast past the next 24hrs on their Android app.  I deleted it when that happened and found another weather app that doesn't charge for hourly.  I wouldn't be surprised if Accuweather started charging for the service that fed this docket.  Of course, I would have expected Stardock to say that in this forum if that was the case - unless they are still negotiating a new deal.

rjdriver,

 

Accuweather has informed me that they are not currently working on developing any fix between them and Weather Docklet.  You can assume that this is now a dead parrot. Sorry.

Careful who you call greedy. They have people to pay as well. And when you go on the website, you see plenty of ads from which they can generate money. If the users don't go on their site, they need to find a way to balance that lost income.

That said. as we have paid for ObjectDock, Stardock should renew any kind of subscription or at least make sure an equivalent feature is created to replace this one.

If Stardock is not willing to support this application anymore : then it would be time to let developers of the community take care of that matter and go open source.

As I understand Accuweather is not offering this service any longer. At this time there are no updates for ObjectDock.
