This weather app in general is very good. However, when showing the current location, even when it is set to precise location, and that location exists within the app, it’s still showing my current location as at least 2 miles away. I find this really frustrating, and it doesn’t make sense. Please fix this! Otherwise overall a very good app.
Rainfall Radar History
Nick Belfast
The ability to see rainfall history over the last 6 hours at micro scale and animated makes for very realistic rain forecast at a very local level. The forecast model could very accurately forecast the next one to two hours if it used AI to roll forward the existing precipitation.. instead it seems to grossly over estimate the forecast with precipitation areas far greater than recent actual data. Can this be offered as an alternative?
Far too many taps to manage locations
JER006
Please oh please let us Edit the locations on the Locations page. Let us slide them left to delete them. Let us slide them up and down. Did you not know that we travel different places each month? We visit friends and relatives in random locations. We have days out, weekends away. Some of us even travel to random lovations for work. Your four additional taps after reaching the list of locations should be unnecessary; they are really annoying.
Plant Watch
Plantsomuch
I keep a close eye on the app due to my tender plants which I am in the process of transitioning from I side to outside. This app is very useful. Good information accurate and handy to know about wind also. Have tried several weather apps and this one I find the most reliable, accurate, generally useful and easy to use and my go to. I don't check any others now I have this one installed and have been using in for a couple of m OK bths now.
