LG ALLY Problem with Accuweather widget

I just bought the LG ALLY and would love to have the Accuweather widget on the phone. My problem is while my phone shows the correct time, (I am on Eastern here, but about 15 miles away in Illinois they are on Central) the Accuweather Widget is off by an hour showing Central time. I tried to sync it, but I can't find it in my list of sync-able programs. If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. It's frustrating both me and a co-worker with the same phone/problem.

Thank you!

Are you manually setting your location or using the GPS? I noticed that Accuweather doesn't have my city listed (every other Weather App Does) so my only option is to use the GPS option to locate my position. When using the GPS option to locate your position, it should show you your City name at the top of the Screen. Is it showing the correct location?

I have the same issue, Amanda. The weather widget that comes with the Ally was poorly written. The time issue is bad enough, but it takes up more screen space than is visible. Try it, if you touch and hold on the space below the widget, it will select it. This also means you can't add widgets or icons directly below it, resulting in a great deal of wasted space.

I agree. I used this widget for a day and deicded it wasn't worth trying to remember the time was wrong. So I now just use the weather bug app, it shows the temp in upper left of phone so that's good enough for me
