Frustrated. The old app was perfectly good. What problem were you solving when you updated it. I used it all the time. It worked perfectly well. Now, I can't even get the wretched thing to load inside 2mins. When it does finally come alive, you can't locate me. I can't even manually enter my location. Disappointingly weak and seemingly untested.

It's great. I don't know what everyone's whining about. I didn't bother using my phone's Location feature—I just started typing my town in the "Add a location" box & it appeared immediately—no problem! • Unfortunately, I must withhold a star because the weather widget included with the app is practically useless—the temperature is crazily tiny, & you can't change that or any other aspects of its appearance (except background transparency). Too bad. 🤷‍♂️
