@mick just checking when you select the 3 dots top right then tap edit data did you select what data you want to see? if so try un-selecting all then re-select them too see if it works also try tap the 3 dots top right then tap refresh then tap the 3 dots and tap refresh again then tap force refresh. possibly try restarting your device

Data is/was selected. See attached.
Unselected all - refreshed data (obviously no data shown) then selected some data again, refreshed same result (no data).
Hitting the refresh twice and so forcing a refresh, again no data. Changing the dropdown to another source, get the “No valid forecast for ” toast notification.
Restarted device. Uninstalled and re-installed app.

Frankfurt server is normally quite quick but seems to be misbehaving today.

Widgets were not updating. Restarting phone and re-adding the widgets has fixed that.

Awesome work debugging guys!! This is what I made the forum for.
You pretty much found the problem. Frankfurt server went down last night while I slept.
This happened to the forum and the New York servers yesterday. I’m not sure what caused it but restarting it seems to have fixed it.
Sorry about the problem.
Cheers, Duane.

Yes, the forum is working as intended! 
Here is a sugestion/question:
How about having the flowx app try another server if the server selected is not responding (properly) (for some defenition of propperly)?
Cheers!

Yes I did briefly think of that but this kind of failure is the first I’ve seen so it’s very rare. So putting time into it might not be worth it.
The other thing is that it adds complexity which may lead to a more common bug. For example, the servers might be out of sync so when you switch to another server, the data might not exist there. It might be out of sync by a few seconds but when you have 80k user a month and servers syncing some 100 times a day, there a many chances of this causing a bug.
I think it’ll be better to have messaging in the app, reporting server status and checking downloads as they come in for corruption or incomplete downloads.

Yes, where to put the time is always an important question.
I trust your judgment, and I feel that I’m learning by reading your responses!
I feel that I must verry much show my appreciation for all the time that you take the time to explain that/why a question/sugestion is not the best to put time on.
And I’m completely with you an this one:
Did not think realize that “servers out of sync by a few seconds” could cause a problem, but that is of course a risk.
Keep it simple, as you so often say.
Cheers!
Hey guys,
Just wanted to join in your discussion. I don’t know of course whether it is a problem with my particular mobile setup, but maybe server issues are not that uncommon.
I had my app set to nearest server (Frankfurt) as well, which left me for I think about a week now with a widget showing only 1 or 2 days worth of data (see screenshot), the remaining days: blank. Also here re-installing didn’t do the trick.
Only after I followed your thread here I switches server to NY, and e voila, back to normal, widget complete again. I don’t know if others observed that but a verification whether the data set is incomplete might also be helpful to check server hiccups?
Cheers, Cornelius
PS: greatest wheather app, my all-time favorite!!
