OMG and now the new version is gone, this older version continues sending spam notifications when everything is turned off. I've spent hours trying to make your app work right. There's no way possible that this is worth $30 a year. You probably owe me $30 a day for frustration and wasted time .. (erroneously named "Daily Forecast") but the words aren't legible. Is there a way to change the font from "clear" to "white" or something? AND STOP LOGGING ME OUT !!!!

I paid for a year of premium, but I am still struggling to stay logged in, so I still have to live with the ads. It used to log me out every time, but that has mostly been fixed. Now if I have my VPN connected, it logs me out, and I can't get get to a log in prompt, even after I disconnect the VPN. I tap the little head, and it wants me to upgrade. no log in prompt. Very frustrating. I don't see any reason to pay for premium at this point.
