### 5/5 — Great Version

*2020-10-30*

Was not able to use the settings button on initial configuration, but a lot of apps are having this problem with this version of iOS.  I just swiped it closed and opened it back up and went to settings to finalize.   

After that everything works great. 
Set my Locations, removed Cupertino, lol, I know you need something there to start with.  

Really love the privacy policy.  Great to see a product that is more about providing user content than the wholesale dissemination of as much information as they can possibly get their greedy hands on.  

There is not a ton of content in this app as compared to other weather apps so I’ll use it for a while, possibly make some requests, and definitely be sending some $upport your way and hopefully find some time to contribute on the project.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2020-10-23*

Not sure about all the negative reviews, but it works just perfectly for me. I’m even running iOS 14.2. 

Responsive, modern iOS design. Thanks for your work! 👍🏼

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-05-08*

Launch screen fails.... looking for a developer API key

**Developer response:** Thank you for reviewing the app. I‘m happy to inform you that it is intentional for the user to be asked to provide an API key. As this is a free open-source app, the developer cannot include a paid API key. Creating an API key is free and easy to do via the instructions provided within the welcome screen.

### 3/5 — Great looking app!

*2018-11-06*

Works well for showing nearby cities and Cupertino as bookmarked.  However, it crashes when I touch settings.

### 5/5 — Works as described

*2018-10-25*

Great
