User reviews

This app used to be awesome, now it gives you push notifications for useless places and can't even pin your home location. I'm done.

New UI is poor. What was easily visible at a glance in the previous version, is now requiring multiple touches and sweeps. Huge amount of wasted space. Much inefficiency. Something very Swiss has been lost with the new app, and it's not good.

Dear app developers, if you don't know what to do with your day, go on the couch and watch some Netflix!!! Stop coming up with ways to completely and drastically change apps! NO ONE ASKED! Besides, it would be a good idea to first make sure that the forecasts are accurate THEN care about the look you want to change at all costs! Heck it has been months, years now, that rain forecasts change every 5 minutes! Sometimes it will show rain only once rain has started!
