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.
