Ratings and reviews

The payment version is worth the money, I have never predicted rain so precisely before, e.g. Do you have to take an umbrella with you or not, it is better to wait 10 minutes before you start jogging, when do you need an umbrella to save the barbecue. All weather depending decisions are easy since then. Unfortunately it covers Germany only😜

I have to pay for the full version to be able to place a widget? Uninstalled 1 minute after installing. Don't even care to browse the app's non existent free features. I would pay for more detailed weather information but not for the ability to place a widget on the home screen. Also no widget type has a clock in it. Disappointing. Make the app cost money up front and post more pictures and not waste our time and data.

Really great app, I really don't miss anyhthing in here. However recently the performance of the maps features has become very bad. It takes ages to load and stutters while scrolling alomg the timeline. On top of that, the phone gets very hot, in excess of 45 °C, after using the map only for a few moments.
