Customer Reviews
Thanks for the new interface!
The new interface is very nice. I'm giving the app 5* but there are a few tweaks that could make it perfect IMO:
(1) The High/Low on the main view is redundant with the Hi/Lo for the current day on the little window below it. I think the one on the main view could be scrapped?
(2) Consider being able to scroll the Mon/Tue/Wed windows along the bottom to see the whole week (like the Shine app).
(3) It would be cool to have pull-to-refresh.
(4) I use Celsius. But the Detailed tab describes the forecast in Fahrenheit (for example, "Lows in the mid 40s to lower 50s".
Lightning Proximity feature is awesome!
As a soccer coach there have been several occasions where I've been out on the field when a storm strikes suddenly. The new lightning proximity feature is a god send and will be a huge asset to me & the safety of my players. Great addition!
Worst Applucation
I have owned this application for about 3 years. Initially it was reliable, but now (after paying for it more than once) it does not load, it does not even load the LAST forecast. It never works. Delete immediately!
