- Location detection is fast and you can easily set your location for local data.

### Cons

- Frequent stability problems: force closes, crashes, or the app won’t stay open.
- Forecast data often inconsistent or inaccurate across daily, hourly, and map views.
- Map display issues: wrong area shown, map flickers/loads poorly.
