## Frequently asked questions

On your Home Screen, press and hold in an empty area until apps start moving. Tap the + button and search for Alpenglow.

Then choose your Widget & your preferred size and tap Add Widget.

**How do I set a location for widgets?**

Once you've added a widget to your Home Screen, tap and hold on the widget and select "Edit Widget".

With Alpenglow Pro you can add the Quality Forecasts widget to view the next Sunrise/Sunset forecast. Or add the Outlook widget to view up-to 7 days ahead.

**Can I view forecasts for multiple locations within widgets?**

You can tap and hold on a widget to set a location, this allows you to add widgets for as many locations as you wish.

**Why can't I add a Forecast Widget without paying?**

Widgets require Alpenglow to make multiple requests throughout the day. Alpenglow has a limited number of Sunrise/Sunset forecast requests it can make in a day, so features that require additional requests are only available under our paid plans.

**Are Widgets coming to Android?**

Android Widgets are planned for a future release. Reach out to me via the contact form if you'd like to help beta test Android widgets.
