However, it faces frequent privacy prompts and concerns about data collection, along with changes to voices and humor after updates.

Once I realized thresholds can tailor the forecast to what I actually like, it was on like donkey Kong! I flipping love this app more than most

I cane across this app as a quirky and humorous way to get my weather. I have since discovered that my Apple Weather app will say 0% of rain while it’s raining and I will open this app to see something like 13% or 17%. My brother in Pennsylvania mentioned recently that he was getting rain when none was forecast so I put in his location and sure enough it was not 0%. This is now my default weather app and I regularly recommend it to others. I do instruct them that the crude eating can be adjusted in settings but I have kept mine at R.
