Pros

Easy to install and use.
Provides basic temperature information.
Positive feedback from some users indicating it is one of the best.

Cons

Limited weather information provided (only temperature and basic wind data).
Lack of settings to customize units (Celsius vs. Fahrenheit).
Redirects to the extension page in the webstore, causing frustration.

Recent reviews

All OK.

Where are the settings to change Freedomheit to Celsius? Or why it isn't displaying the locally used units automatically, if it knows the user's location, anyway?

Istvan Kosi, 2021-03-04

Just installed the app. Seems to work OK, except - that's it? The only weather data it gives is temperature, and a tiny notation in the upper right hand corner about wind speed and direction. No pressure, tomorrow's forecast, 10 day forecast, no radar - and no way to add, adjust settings? So much more info the app could provide, and it just falls flat. Uninstalled.
