That’s quite interesting, I had no idea such a thing existed. It doesn’t
show historical data outside Norway, and doesn’t sync between devices (I
suspect you have to be able to setup an NRK account for that). However,
considering it’s really meant for use in Norway, it offers quite a bit of
information in the UK too (and elsewhere of course). The watch app works
fine, but has limited data showing on the watch face complication.

Definitely worth downloading the app though.

Cheers.
