The default project for HSTouch includes a weather screen which accesses our server to get the current weather and 5 day forecast. The weather API we had been using has been retired. If you want to continue using the weather feature of HS3Touch, you will need to obtain a FREE API Key from apixu.com. Please follow the instructions below to get your weather running again.

- Obtain an API key from apixu.com. The key should be roughly 30 characters long (give or take a character or two).
- Open HS3, navigate to the Setup > Network page and enter the new key in the field labeled "WorldWeatherOnline API key" or (in newer versions) "Weather API Key". Anyway, don't worry about the name!
- When finished, just run HS3Touch and check the weather page of your project. It should be working for you now!
- Run the HS3Touch Designer and open an existing stock project (like "320x480-Portrait.xml").
- Open another instance of the Designer with your own project.
- Now, just copy each weather element from the stock project to yours.
