Ratings and reviews

Good app, easy to nsvigate, however there is no way in the settings to delete locations. Which means if you put two or three locations in and save them, then you get three separate constant warnings Thanks to the developers fast response and help, I have now found where to delete the locations, once again thanks for the help.

Great simple app that I've used for years. The Ads are too big and block the app. The annual subscriptions are not justifiable for the casual user. I would have happily paid a fair one-off price but £3.59 subscription is not justifiable. After many, many years I've moved on to an app that I can use for less than £5 a year.

Update: September 26, 2024. Added rain radar widget for subscribers. Very useful update. Thank you. Excellent app. Does exactly what the specifications list. Alarms are a very useful tool. The paid version is very fair and provides many configuration options. Thank you for a fine app.
