When we had bad weather 2-3 weeks ago i was getting snow alerts / notifciations from the app so some bits of the app are working in the background just not updating the tempiture and location part of the widget even after waiiting 1-2 hours for it to update based on frequncy setting I can not see that the application is draining any battery life as a background service and settings within the Asus Weather app are set to Get My Location and Update Frequency 1hr. What i have tried is reinstalling the app itself, clearing out the cache and data and re setting the permissions i dont know why it needs permission to my storage so am testing this at the moment but cant see it will make a differnce but would like to know why storage access is needed for this app. My understanding of this app is this should be running as a background task to check my location and the tempiture and then updating this on the widget which doesnt appear to happen unless i force it by manually opening the application which defeats the object of the widget. The problem: the widget on the home page (once the phone is unlocked) it displays the time/temp/date/location ok which seems to auto update and correct the time & date however the location and tempiture doesnt change at all unless you click on the text which is a shortcut to opening the app and then it refreshes the details in the weather app which they updates the widget. Now this maybe me miss understanding based on wording used in the application.

I have noticed that the app isnt functioning as it would come across as how it should work.
