3
Enter app name
Enter a Name for the app, such as “Lobby Weather - New York”. This is how you’ll identify it later in the Media section, especially useful if you plan to create weather apps for more than one location.

4
Set the location
Type a city into Location and pick it from the suggestions. Start typing and select the matching result from the dropdown.

Toggle Get device location on instead if you want the app to always show weather for wherever the signage player is installed, useful for a template used across screens in different cities. When enabled, the manual Location field is skipped.

The Advanced theme’s preview panel shows sample placeholder data (a “Mount Everest” demo card) instead of your configured location. This is expected. The live app pulls the correct location once published.
6
Configure display options
Pick the Temperature Unit (Celsius or Fahrenheit), then toggle Forecast on to show the multi-day outlook alongside current conditions. Toggle Rounded Corners for softer card edges, and Animation if you want the icons and text to animate in (available on all themes except Standard). Select a Language for the display text.

7
Choose a layout type
Pick the Layout Type that matches your screen.
- Landscape
- Portrait

Create the app
Click Preview to double check how the app will look, then click Create App to save it.
Your weather app is now ready to use.
