NOTES AND LIMITATIONS

• This App only works on web sites where the URL is updated to reflect the current page you are viewing.  For example, on your iOS device, google.com does not always update the URL.  Use the following syntax when using google.com to access weather and stock information:

https://www.google.com/#q=weather+94014

https://www.google.com/#q=weather+san+francisco

https://www.google.com/#q=stock+appl

• If you will use this App to monitor a particular web site (for the IT professionals out there), be sure you have your iOS device plugged in to a power source and have disabled your device from going to sleep mode.
