Why does Flipboard have a Watch app? This is the problem I see coming, some developers just don't get the form factor.

Easy: All 3rd party apps are running on your phone.

Yeah. Until they put an ad in and F it all up. F Yahoo to hell with their weather app and ads.

(I'm angry because I was happy with their app and it was the best choice for me. Nothing I've found compares to their visual appeal with the accuracy of Weather Underground information. MyRadar comes close, but their icon reporting drives me nuts regarding rain: even a 5% chance of rain and it will display a rain icon. Most apps only use a rain icon if its ~30% and above. The stock Apple Weather app's icons are too difficult to read and the diarrhea splat of information at the bottom is a nightmare design choice.)

No you can't, and people understand this.

No they don't.

You do, some here do, even many here do.

But I can guarantee there are thousands of people, some with watch orders now, that don't understand this, and will be something they find out about.
