When app was updated awhile ago it wiped out all my weather places except for local ones you list. B4 upd I could add a location by place name. Now I can't do that I have to know the zipcode of place. How many people know the zipcodes of places they want to check the weather for? My answer is very few. How many zipcodes of non local places do you know? Why get rid of something that was very good & useful. Thanks in advance for checking this out & hopefully fixing it to how it was b4 that update.
