Google Play does not allow you to create multiple apps with similar functionality. As a result, we needed to remove eWeather HD and leave only eWeather HDF. If you are an eWeather HD user than you can install eWeather HDF for free, click eWeather HDF - menu - options - report and we will remove ads from eWeather HDF on your phone.
You can turn off/on tablet mode in app options: Menu->Options->Program options->Big screen
