Ratings and reviews

It's a really great app, clean, lets you view radar loops, meaningful weather alerts, not too many. I would like to be able to see more layers of weather data, specifically pressure maps, but that's because my father used to work for Environment Canada and I'm a nerd.

I wish there was an option to use 24 hour time. Additionally adding an animated map of forest fire smoke like firesmoke.ca has would be a great addition to this application considering the ever increasing forest fires and resulting smoke. I would love to get notifications regarding if smoke is going to blow in, when it will arrive and leave, and how intense it will be.

My current location is in Saskatchewan, and for some reason, the app on my phone thinks I'm somewhere in Nova Scotia. Can't get weather in my actual area without searching. Additionally, I used to have the widget on my phone screen...and now it's gone with no way to get it back. I long click on the app icon, and all I get is "App Info". I long click on my phone screen and go into the Widgets menu, and one does not exist for WeatherCan, even though it was literally on my phone 30 min ago.
