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?

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.
