Fatal error with app

App is closing when I pick a region. When I try to re-open the app it immediately closes. This bug needs to be fixed.

RIP

RIP in peace, here’s to the memories of a once great app

And yes, I do see the need to be redundant. Bite me.

No updates, old data

This app no longer seems to update. It used to show today as the top data and the following 5-7 days underneath. It now shows Thursday at the top no matter what day you check it and the data for the days displayed is inaccurate.

Terrible

This is actually the worst app I have used. The location-based data is all wrong and the layout is completely dysfunctional. I want my $2.99 back.

Used to work

This used to be a nice Tim to use for forecasting site diving conditions. Note never the web version or the paid app version works. It been brides for months now and wish they would fix it.
