Downloaded and tried to open, just to find out this is no longer free and usable without some sort of API. I don't want to create an API, just for this. Uninstalling this app.

Was OK before it required to get a GoogleMap API key due to price hike on Google's side which made it unaffordable for the creator to continue maintaining the App the way it was before. Uninstalled.

I liked this radar but it no longer works. Something to do with google maps.
