PLEASE ADD watchOS WIDGET!!
edit: received developer response. amended rating. hoping to see continued progress :^) i’ve had this app for a long time. for a while i thought it’d been abandoned, but recently it has been getting better fairly consistently. i recently paid for the Pro version and, while i have no idea what exactly that entitles one to, i will note that the data refreshes seem more immediate and snappy. is that Pro? dunno. the developer needs to follow Apple’s lead with watchOS 10 and pivot the app to a “Widget first” functionality, which massively improves background refresh while minimizing battery impact. PLEASE ADD watchOS WIDGET!! the improvements are welcome. hope to see more
