Version 1.0.7 Update Image Expansion Issue

While it's nice to have the image update issue fixed, another bug I noticed was being unable to expand on the image view for a more detailed image. Because of that, I'm giving it two stars only. Earlier versions prior to the recent October updates had me give it five stars.

Everything I need. And fast

Wow. I’ve been looking for this for a while. I get tired of having to go to Mikes Weather Page all the time for data sets.

Born and raised in FLA, it’s been helpful to be able to see various radar slices. If you know what you’re looking for it’s all right here.

The GOES sats are global so it’s great to be able to see systems developing off of Africa or in the Pacific.

Thank you for putting this together.

So glad I found this vs the terrible noaa app

I’m not sure that’s ones even available now but it felt like from 2005 lol. Anyway, this is perfect, easy, zooms well, animation is actually accurate and smooth and it’s very hires. A win!

Exactly what I wanted

Made accessing GOES images super easy. Would be cool to access image history as well.
Developer: have you approached NOAA to solicit funding for further development? Or maybe sell the app to them for them to develop further?

Thank you for this beautiful app Emery!!!

As a professional weather nerd I had to comment on how elegant this app is! When aviationweather.gov updated their website they some how left off the ability to animate the satellite imagery. This app allows you to very quickly and easily get a glimpse of what is going on as recent as 10 minutes ago. I have zero complaints: ) and only one wish. I would love to be able to adjust the animation speed a touch, but this app is brilliant!!!

Many Thanks!
