Wish you hadn't have changed the app. Now it is completely worthless. You had a good thing going. No I have to fund something else. Reinstalled just to try again. Giving up forever. Your map display is awkward and the numerous windows obscure the map. Precise location only shows 24 miles away, where it was previously spot on. You used to have the wind speed and gust forecast show up first thing, great for an app about wind. Now it cannot be found. But your ads are easy to see! I'm out.

The UI leaves a bit to be desired. It doesn't appear to be easy to track multiple locations at once even though my intuition tells me it should be apart of the app. The multi day grid view really doesn't give me any useable information even though I'm sure there's something to discern there once I learn the app. Overall I'm probably going to end up using another app as my daily driver. They've somehow managed to obscure the usability of the app by over engineering the UI.

Much better! Most of the model refresh issues seem to have been resolved, which makes this app one of the best options again. The model compare view is very convenient. The 'best model' feature is brilliant but not always accurate, I'd love to be able to configure it (time span, wind direction..). The screens customization is a bit clunky at times but overall a very good app. It would be great to see more weather stations being reported too.

David, thank you for the feedback! And special kudos for mentioning compare screen here, as we've been working hard on it! At the moment, HRRR updates 2 times per day in the app. We hope to get more frequent updates soon, our developers are working on it!
