Receive weather info using your preferred weather provider.
Enable the weather feature to receive weather info for your location automatically directly from your chosen weather provider.
Currently supported: Google Awareness (not Google Weather), Open Weather Map and Weather Underground.
Note: You need your own api keys to use the weather providers (excluding Google Awareness). A built in api key is included for open weather map. Enter "#" as the api key for open weather map.
Note: Google Awareness roughly refreshes its data every 3 hours. Use another weather provider if you need more regular weather updates.

Customise colours
Customise the pill background, logo and text colours with transparency support to better match your home screen. With a transparent shade of a colour, make the pill see-through, making your wallpaper visible!

Google App Integration
With one touch on the Pill, you can either access Google Now, Google Search or Google Voice Search.

Check the weather with Google Weather
One touch on the weather info takes you to Google Weather.

View your tasks and events with Google Calendar

Notes
1) If you have an Xiaomi device with MIUI, you must allow the app to run in the background and download data in the background via the Xiaomi security app. Xiaomi MIUI disables all background processes for battery saving by default.
2) If you use mobile data, you will have to enable background data or allow the app to explicitly download data in the background when background data is disabled.
