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.

How do I change widget radius. I've put it on 5 k but still only does 20. . I know where the radius changer is in the widget. I thought the update might fix it. The update did take away the ability for me to choose my own recordings for rain alarm. that's sad.

Unfortunately, doesn't work for me in Singapore. Widget says, "no location acquired yet". Gave permission for GPS and tried manually as well. It doesn't work.
