Review summary

Users appreciate the app's elegant design, functionality, and privacy by not data-mining, and its ability to read the phone's internal barometer. However, common issues include incorrect pressure readings, unclear GPS location features, lack of transparency about weather data sources, forced use of location services that drain battery, and the presence of ads or promotional links to other apps.

Pros

Elegant and aesthetically pleasing design
Functional and reads the phone's internal barometer sensor
Does not data-mine user information
Provides additional weather data on a secondary screen
Generally considered a good app by users

Cons

App shows incorrect atmospheric pressure
Unclear GPS location functionality and incomplete location display
Lacks clarity on the source of weather data provided
Requires location services which consume battery power and cannot enter locations manually
Feels more like an advertisement for other apps with buttons leading to Google Play

2022-11-23	Ed*****	App will read the barometer built into your phone if you go to settings and select internal sensor. Ok on that. Pulls other weather data on 2nd screen from a service, but does not share what is the source of that data. Gps location teardrop icon upon touching it will display a message that it's locating but no further location info appears on main screen. + and Pro buttons will take you to Google Play. This app could get another star if it was clearer what the GPS location teardrop icon does.
