ICIT Weather Widget

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 86% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I love the look and feel of this widget but it breaks all the time on my site. I almost always see an error message reading “An error has occurred with the ICIT Weather Widget, if the issue persists through refreshing please contact the site administrator.” Developer states this has not been reported before so perhaps it’s an issue with my install but I can’t continue using it anymore either way. I’d love to give it another shot if that gets resolved.

   I have been looking for a weather plugin for almost a week and finally got this one. It is easy to modify and simple design that I want. The feedback from the author was quick.

   We dropped support for this plugin for a while, but it’s back on our supported plugins list. We’re a bigger company now, and this can fall upon a team to support and maintain – we know people loved it 🙂

   This use to be a really decent plugin with easy setup and easy customization of css for the style of the widget from site to site. Unfortunately it is only a portal to the Google Weather API which shut down in October 2012 rendering the plugin useless. Although if the developer was able to convert it to another API. This plugin could regain it’s 5 star rating I once gave it.
