Ratings and reviews

PROBLEM? TRY THIS. The app seemed to have stopped working, saying "No current observations" for days, until I tapped to open the location dropdown. My current and saved location (which were the same) were still listed, and tapping either of those brought back all the weather info. Otherwise, the app is generally very good. Among other things, the past-24-hours info is useful, and I also enjoy the posts with background info, as well as being able to switch between English and French.

Feels like each time I check the app it has lost my current location. I can manually enter my location, but then it won't update when I move, so really that is not a valid option. I can't teleport, so just save my location until you get a chance to update. Maybe it could make the time stamp on the location data visible so that the user can decide if it's valid or not. I dunno, I'm just annoyed when I open my weather app and it doesn't give me the weather.

Get used to seeing "current conditions not available" and "forecasts not available" on a regular basis, and for long stretches of time. Hourly forecasts don't update and/or show inaccurate info, such as "100%" chance of rain when there isn't even a cloud in the sky. Sadly, it seems very 'on brand' for the official government app to be unreliable and out of service most of the time.
