#1 app on my phone!

This is my #1 app.
I am able to leave the washing on the line to within minutes of rain and I keep my husband up to date when he is at work by putting in the address where he is so I can give him enough time to move machinery under cover.
Friends think I’m magic when I tell them the exact minute it’s going to start raining. :)

What’s Gone Wrong

I’ve loved this accurate app for years. Now when opened it becomes unresponsive. So I need to turn off my phone and reboot it. Not happy.

Cyclist friend

This is the first app I go to before hopping on my bicycle. My family have been using this app for the last 15 years and it’s never let us down once.
