Although not listed on the description page, you must sign up and pay to use this app. The app doesn't tell you this until it plays 20 questions about your hobbies and lifestyle, then tells you to either subscribe to a paid plan or do a "free trial" that then signs you up for a paid subscription. I'm sure the app itself is decent, but I was immediately turned off by the mass of questions (data mining) that led to wanting my money. I never tried it because of this.

I just had an issue with the app, which was not allowing me to use the pro options. I sent an email, and literally 2 minutes later, they manually fixed it and emailed me back with a note to restart my app. Best customer service I have ever had. Maybe it was luck, but I've always been impressed with the app, and now I'm impressed with the customer service.

I like all that it can do but it misses out on some basic weather app functions. I really wish I could have a widget that showed me the current temperature, daily high, and daily low. And im the opened app, a weekly forecast would be nice to. Currently I can see hourly breakdowns for the week but I'm not able to quickly, at a glance, see what the coming up week is going to be like or even what the current temperature is. For all it's great functions, I just end up not using the app.
