## Review summary

Users say the app is a quick way to compare two weather forecasts and some praise it as very good. The most common complaint is that login has been broken for a long time, which prevents saving favorite locations, and reinstalling does not help. Many reviewers say the app just opens the website, which is hard to read, so a dedicated app seems unnecessary. Others mention inaccurate forecasts, missing long-range forecasts, ads and redirects, blank screens after updates, and excessive file access requests.

### Pros

- Quick way to compare two different weather forecasts
- Generally praised as very good and improving

### Cons

- Login has been broken for a long time, so users cannot save favorite locations
- App mostly just opens the website, which is often zoomed in and hard to read
- Weather forecasts are often inaccurate and do not match actual conditions
- Ads and redirects, such as when trying to view hourly forecasts
- Blank white screen or unusable after recent updates
