### 1/5 — Hard to use, limited locations

*2023-01-07, version 4.5.1*

This app is terrible! It’s hard to use, the interface is terrible, and it doesn’t have a lot of location options. So unless you only want to see big cities, it’s worthless. I downloaded this for the weather forecasting feature and this feature is terrible. It gives you a range of temperatures which I feel is worthless. I wanted an app that gave a more decent forecast not something that just gave a wide ranging guess at the weather. Totally worthless, it got deleted right away.

### 5/5 — So much information, in one App !!!

*2022-01-19, version 4.5.1*

I think the only thing it doesn’t have is nagging! This app covers so much about weather, astronomy, history, folklore, and more!
It is one of my top ‘go to’ apps.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into this wonderful program!

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2021-12-11, version 4.5.1*

I really appreciate this app, it’s so helpful! I’m going to use it every day.

### 4/5 — Religious calendar

*2020-12-19, version 4.5.1*

NOT Divine Mercy Suday. 
Your religious calendar has been incorrect several times:
Good Friday
Easter Sunday
Divine Mercy Sunday
Thank you

### 5/5 — Stunning and simple

*2020-12-17, version 4.5.1*

Easy to navigate, well designed layouts without all the glitching, bells and whistles of most apps. Night mode is a brilliant red on black for evening star gazing. This app feels like the most cozy 2010’s webpage.  Great contemporary kitchen cheat sheets. My favorite feature — Cherokee and Colonial American Moon Names! I will never forget to harvest hickory nuts again. Thank you, Tod!

### 1/5 — Not very informative

*2020-12-07, version 4.5.1*

It used to be good then something happened to the tide charts, they went away

### 3/5 — Christian Holidays

*2020-08-19, version 4.5.1*

Please check these.  They repeat all year all. Example: Palm Sunday is not in June, etc

### 4/5 — Problem

*2019-12-22, version 4.5.1*

Awesome app. I look everyday. However my weather no longer loads for a while now! Please fix.

### 5/5 — Awesomely awesome

*2019-12-19, version 4.5.1*

Beyond the boundaries of time is this awesome app from a very dedicated individual who takes pride in his app and all that it involves. No need to worry about a app that never gets updates or just exist to take up space. I can’t recall how long I’ve had this app but it is always here and always updates. The design and information is a valuable asset to have if only for general knowledge. I have learned a lot about things I never knew or just took for granted. The boundaries of information are unlimited and I would never hesitate to pay for the updates if needed. 
Thank you

### 3/5 — 7 day forecast

*2019-12-07, version 4.5.1*

7 day forecast quit working when the IOS 13 update came out. Still not working. Might be ok for a free app but not one that was purchased.
