Ratings and reviews

When the app updated to the "new" version way back I immediately hated it so I downloaded the apk for the "old" version and have been happily using that ever since. It is less cluttered, easier to navigate and just plain works. I'll never understand why developers insist on messing with something that isn't broken and adds no new functionality. Alas today (July 17) the old app stopped working. Maybe EC did something server side to force people onto the new app - I dunno. Not me though. Good luck

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.

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.
