Which weather data provider?

Hi, I'm using your newest android app in europe.

I read about weather data provider in your help section:
- Current data is provided by METAR
- Forecast data is provides by yr.no (NRK)

But when I open the app, there is written (in german): "Weather forecast by OWM"

Confusing. What is right, what is wrong?

Thx.

We have switched temporary from yr.no to OWM because recent problems with yr.no service.
We will switch back as soon as guys at yr.no to fix it.

Why not offering both OWM and yr.no - and let the user choose in options?

We don't have time and workforce to fulfill all the requests from our users.
That is why.

Ok, thx.

Just thought, it would be easy unless you have already implemented OWM. :)

I do not like OVM, because forecast is inaccurate. Please Pavel, write to us, since time will work yr.no again. Another apps which using yr.no, working fine, why your not?
I buyed full version because your offer was "yr.no" and now some OVM :(
