Please revisit decision to not launch custom weather app

Feature Request

Please add a way to customize which weather app to launch when tapping on forecast widget in agenda view.

I know this is covered in Minimal Weather Widget help page:

If tapping on it would bring you to another weather app, the data wouldn't necessarily match (because of different forecasting methods), which would be an unpleasant user experience.

I argue this is not a good reason. Yes, the forecasts don’t necessarily match. But that is a reason for supporting a thirdparty application, not against it.

I use and prefer a local/national weather app, for obvious reasons. I trust it more. It also has good rain maps. I understand API integration is out of the question but why not allow custom app launch on the forecast widget tap?

Thanks

    This please! Let the user launch the weather app they want to use. Only missing feature for me.

    +1 to the request. It’s essential to be able to open third party weather app and third party calendar by tapping on Niagara’s built in widgets.

    I second this, I really really would like to use weawow or pixel weather since both apps provide more information, and would only require the option of turning the weather forecast in agenda view into a shortcut when you tap.
