First couple of years I continually used Whatweather (Pro) and it was AWESOME !!! THEN ... a couple of months ago, with the app continually running, it would sometimes a few and sometimes several times a day, randomly launch Amazon Silk and go to the website of whichever Whatweather weather data provider I had selected and I tried them all. I can't find any settings in Whatweather to keep it from opening Silk, nor can I find a way to disable Silk from opening. So what happens is that instead of passing by the docked tablet and looking at my Fire HD8 Plus and expecting to see Whatweather information at a glance, I usually find a blank black screen because the tablet has gone into saver mode after opening Silk and there hadn't been any interaction and the screen timed out. Sadly, I'm now looking for other weather options. Definitely not going to throw any more money at this one.
EDIT: In speaking with Whatweather support, it was determined I had a faulty display on my Fire HD 8 Plus. I verified it by using a spare HD 8 Plus that I have and set up in the exact same way.
