  • Okay

    Accurate most of the times but unfortunately when you try to save the location it won’t let you put in negative sign for longitude. Therefore the location feature is really useless for me. Other than that it’s okay.
  • Is it supported? Not a chance.

    I have never been able to enter a negative longitude number for locations in the west because they restrict the input keyboard to numbers and a decimal point. This means every US location that I can’t find in their small database can’t be added because it shows up in China. This would be an easy fix, but in 2 years they haven’t done it.

    Update: years later, still no fix. Come on, FLO!
  • Bug when editing location

    Wanted to add locations that I travel to frequently, one of which is not listed in the search function. Reading another review, developer states you choose any location and edit the coordinates.
    That’s fine, but the app only lets me edit the longitude, not the latitude. It’s ok if you can find a location that’s pretty close to your latitude, at least you won’t be far out, but annoying that you can do one, not the other.
  • Excellent App with one major and idiotic flaw

    This app is fantastic, it’s very useful and reasonably easy to use. Sure, the interface looks like it belongs on an iPhone 3, but the information is there.

    The one major and infuriating flaw is that the app only allows you to enter *positive* latitude and longitude coordinates. So you can’t set locations outside of cities in all of America or the Southern Hemisphere. Pretty stupid oversight that demonstrates the Eurasian bias of the developers (lol).
  • Dew point

    THE only free app that give Dew Point forecast. At 500kB, this app is a gem and launches extremely fast.

    Yes it has small issues but there are workarounds for every one so I find it very underrated!

    I hope they update the forecast source after darksky shuts down, but keep the UI the same and app size low
  • Pretty good

    Love the detailed forecast. As accurate as any other forecast app; can be a hit and miss but I haven’t find anything better.
  • Editing the longitude does not work

    I love the app, the data seems accurate , but it does not let me edit the longitude of any location

    It lets me edit the latitude but when I click on the longitude to change i, the phone vibrates and the numbers are not editable….! ( this is on an Apple iPhone 11 Pro)

    Since most locations and small cities are not found in the app, the only alternative is to edit the GPS coordinates… but the app doesn’t even provide that which is a pity
  • Where is the developer?

    You’d think with 6 years of reviews about the failure to enable minus latitude searches that the developer might have gotten around to dealing with that. The search is functionally useless as developed. What a shame. This app could meet a significant need if it really worked.
  • No way to enter negative coordinates

    When entering the lat and lon for a location, there seems to be no way to make them negative. Since half of all lat and lon values are negative, this is a pretty big oversight. So far, the only way I have got a negative value entered is to use the current location abilities. But that obviously only works if I am in that particular place.
  • So far its ok

    This is the only app that offers a forecast for low, to high clouds which is great but I do wish it was clearer on what the numbers mean. I think I have a basic idea but its not very straightforward. I would probably use it more if everything was more user friendly. Not sure how accurate it is partially because of this issue. This app has huge potential so I hope to see some improvements that would take fhis from ok to amazing
