Half-baked

The latest version of the Africa weather app is half-baked and should never have been released. When trying to add a new location, the app just shows an error message. Several of the options are unavailable.

On a personal note, I preferred the layout of the old version where one could see temperature, rain, and wind all in one, easy to read chart.

This app should be recalled until it is out of beta

Good afternoon, Thank you for your feedback. The app is currently in the process of being refined and upgraded. Please bear with us as we continue to roll out updates on the app. Thank you!

Incomplete Release full of issues

Unfortunately, the new release is an absolute flop. Temperature shows 55 degrees Celsius with a felt temperature at 103 degrees Celsius, App was completely down for days after release. No Places can be added except the current location. If you try, you will run into an error message. Instead of improving the app through implementing a Login with your paid package from the Website, the app is now nearly unusable.

Latest Version Broken

The location service on latest version of this App (including search) is non functional. In addition I started getting Ads despite having paid for the App. You can’t add locations and all previous data has been lost. It looks pretty but doesn’t work. It’s a ‘fail’. When you try to input location you see “Places Autocomplete error: REQUEST_DENIED”
