Weather Data sometimes acting up

I figured since I've gotten a few e-mails about, and experienced myself, some issues with the weather data in LCARS Interface that I would post about it.

Apparently the weather service (World Weather Online) is experiencing some issues with their servers which is causing hang ups and even complete crashes to the application. Hopefully this is a temporary problem that should be resolved in the next day or so, otherwise we will be looking into some other options for weather service if this one will no longer meet our needs.

I apologize for the inconvenience this is causing some of you. The problem is not actually within our app, but it certainly appears to be when you try and use it. We are working on a solution that will at least keep the app from crashing when the server takes too long to respond, or doesn't respond at all. The problem may not even be with their service, but with whoever is hosting their website and data. Nevertheless, we will work to resolve this issue with them or change to another service if necessary.
