In the default view you’ll see a countdown timer telling you when the next refresh will happen at the top of the widget, on the right hand side is a button to do a manual refresh. Click the timer to see the date of the last refresh. Just below is a house-icon and your current network location. Click the house to change your location.
Below that is — for every (active) network interface — an icon for the interface and the assigned IP. Click the icon to toggle the expanded information.
At the bottom of the widget is your “real” Internet IP. Click the globe-icon to see a list of your last IPs and the ping results.
There are many options in the preferences. There you can choose from 3 different skins, supply some email addresses so the widget can send you a notification if your IP changes, and other options.
