### 5/5 — Really like this app, but ...

*2019-06-23, version 2.0*

This service by Richland Country Library is amazing. I have a library about a mile from my house so I can check the current conditions wherever I am traveling. But, I would also like to be able to look at past records, too. Clemson extension service says we should water about 1” per week. It would be handy to be able to look a the last 7 days or so to help me decide to water the lawn. 
Thank you for developing this app and for providing the weather station.
