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.

Good morning, 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!

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”

I have used this app everyday for years, and since the update it is totally useless. It does not function at all

Update broke the app

Now it HAS to have location enabled and that’s just plain stupid… was working well before the update.
That’s what happens when you “fix” something that’s not broken. Dumb, dumb move, developers

Absolutely pathetic

After using the app for a year or more, and paying for it, I again started getting adds. When complaining about it, no response from them. We did however got to update the app and that was a complete joke, as now it was the only app showing sunshine for the next ten days. Obviously it was completely wrong and it is overcast and raining for the next ten days. App is confused showing cloud when it rains and vice versa. Problem is we relied on this app as we live off the grid. So not until they have proved themselves again can I recommend the app. In fact would strongly advise against it.

Can only get one day. The rest does not appear

Mrs

This is great for planning your day and week.

A joy to use

This is one of the best weather apps I could find for weather in South Africa!

I’m very close to giving it 5*, however, the ad removal price/year is not correct. It states that it cost $1 less in the app than what is presented to you once you are about to pay.
I don’t mind paying a $ more, but at least make sure that it’s not misleading then.

Keep up the great work on this, it’s truly someone exceptional to be using as a South African.

*I’ll subscribe and update this review as soon as the discrepancies are fixed

Local weather

Hi, sometimes the weather is way out when it comes to wind. Often the wind is blowing much harder than the app says it is. Partly I think because the app keeps changing my location to Kingswood which is down in the valley. I am up on the side of the hill and we get lots of wind here.

Certainly worth 5 stars, however . . .

Unable to activate the subscription hence my three stars

App no longer working

The App no longer displays data. I have contacted support, but to no avail.

Not working

Does not update anymore....

Not working anymore

Weathersa was my favorite app for weather. But recently all data fields are now blank...

Gone from what was a decent app to worse

Was awesome me app for local SA Weather conditions. Push notifications app DONT work anymore ... in addition I'd prefer buying the app and getting storm /Rain notifications for free rather then downloading the & then buying services, this model of pricing is just greed. The subscriptions are ridiculous !

App won't open

I've used this app for ages but since the latest update I can't even open the app. It just says that it's expanding into Africa and then shuts down. Disappointing.

App no longer works

This used to be a great app now it is broken and refuses to load

Crashed

My app crashed when I clicked advanced and it is now unable to open

What happened?

This app worked so well but became broken in the last month or so. Doesn't work or crashes all the time. ;(

Need to fix your advertised price

So I'll start off and say that I love the app. The problem I have is that when you go into my weather and look at the subscription options they are shown in South African Rands however when you go to purchase you are charged in pounds there is a very Big difference between paying £9.99 and R9.99 with the exchange rate at almost 21 to 1.
