Ratings and reviews

The app is useful and helpful, and has become a staple of my life. However, for the last few days, Malwarebytes has been flagging this app as infected with a prompt to immediately uninstall this app. No amount of updating or reinstalling either app makes a difference.

John Bernier is very thorough and often correct on his predictions for the next day &; the next 8 day forecast. I always double-check the next day & week's forecast so I'll know what to wear the next day. HOWEVER, for some reason lately, I hit the app icon & the app comes up but it sometimes won't open. Is it because so many people are looking it up at same time?

The updated app crashes when opened and clicked on Currents and Forecast or anything else. It's been happening since updated several days ago.
