Too many adds. The Windy app has similar features with less advertising.

They deleted my review. So I'm making it once again. I live in nz and all the temperatures are wrong. Normally can trust the wind direction. But when it fails at basic weather forecasting the app loses my interest.

I am living along the East Coast of South Africa near East London. I am a paid member. All of a sudden I cannot see the wind and precipitation forecast as it states that it "does not provide forecast data for this location". Making the application basically useless. What went wrong?
