I love widgets, but I've been having trouble with various widgets not refreshing on their own. Culprits include Yahoo Weather and WebMD's allergy app. I can sometimes get them to refresh by going into the app itself and coming back out, but honestly, that defeats the purpose of using a widget if I can't see the updated information on my home screen.

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile SGH-M919), running KitKat 4.4.4. It's rooted, and I use Nova Launcher (though I've had this problem while running TouchWhiz, as well). I don't use any task killers; I do run Juice Defender to help with my battery life, but I don't believe it has any task killer functions that I'm aware of.

I've been all over the Web and I've seen lots of people with similar problems. None of the suggested solutions I've found have managed to solve my problem, though. Help!
