Was a good app years ago… I paid a reasonable sum to support what looked like a good alternative weather app.
What a waste. I helped them get started with my $$ now they want yearly fees as much or more than original purchase. —— I just needed a second or third view of weather coming my way. So now I have to stick with the free TV apps. Maybe someday there will be som low cost decent weather apps without all the bells and whistles for the rest of us. >>> I feel cheated for supporting them when they were small now to be told… thanks sucker! So sad you can’t pay our freight anymore🥱 It was attitudes by developers like this in the 1990s that led to piracy. People laid out funds for good HW only to find they couldn’t afford the SW. ——Maybe too many young people don’t budget to realize they’re buying a new iPhone 16 pro every year in rentware fees.
