Good configuration options but I would however like a method to change the new tab name from "Surge"

1/18 I'm having so much problems with this and just a couple tweaks would make it better! first of all the reddit option for pictues is horrible 1) it won't rotate.. it's been stuck on one pic for 2 days now 2) when it was working and rotating, the pics on that site are utter crap.. and i've done an extensive search for reddit wallpaper.. they are pretty bad - Our other option is to use a pic url - but ppl don't want us drawing traffic to their site just so we can use their url to show a pic on surge.. please give us an option to simply upload a pic from our files - if i'm going to be stuck with just one pic i'd like it to be one of my choosing Old review: Doesn't work well. No rotating pics, u have to pick one and stay with it. It will NOT accurately show my weather no matter how many times i try and reset it - it's 26 degrees off! Also not easy to setup- i had to dump it and re instal to try and get new settings I wanted.. not a good product at all - geeshe fix the weather, allow us to enter our zip code, make the edit page easier,, and if you could make it rotate pics it would be a much better app. i was using skyinc and loved it but their site suddenly went down today so i was trying something new.. i wouldn't even mind a small (small!) ad in the corner so the creator can profit off its downloads.. but overall this is not working..
