Can’t get past the select your own location option. Nothing happens, can’t go to the next screen, can’t pick a location

Present date will take forever to load if inactive on the app for a while

Used to enjoy this app and found it to be more accurate than not. Over the past year it became increasingly unusable, with error messages all over the place, and as of December 2025 the forecast dates are not updating. No response to my help inquiries, so I take it the developer has given up on the app. Makes me feel dumb for paying for it for as long as I did.
