So, I used to love this app. It worked very well up until the latest OS update. I emailed the developer to advise them of the issue and it is apparently a known issue with no timeline for a fix. The issue, if you try to share a clip it crashes. Also, seem to have layer issues with boxes appearing around the map and effecting the graphic animations. Would love to make it 5 stars...

Hi, yes this is a bug on Android 14 causing problems with the video capture feature. We are working on a fix for release with a major update in the next few months.

Really great for outdoor activity planning. Line graphs are fully customizable. Helps you to see the big picture on the map. With practice, one can figure out local weather patterns, and estimate weather outcome probabilities on your own. I would argue, most people's complaints about the "weather man" are related to their over reliance on micro-weather apps and their inability to understand the laws of probability. With any computer algorithm the saying holds "junk in, junk out". Not here!!

Yes, looking at the big picture and the variability in predictions between weather simulations gives the best understanding of what might happen with the weather. Thanks for the great review. Cheers, Duane.

I came to this app after being frustrated with all the other apps being poorly organized/saturated by ads. I hate tables of numbers and having to click around a lot. This app is perfect, gives simple minimal yet informative plots of weather data and no intrusive ads (are there ads at all?). Cheers to the developer!

Exactly!! Tables and words are hard to read quickly. With modern tech we can do much better. That's why I try to do thing differently, even if it goes wrong. I like simple. There is a certain elegance to simplicity. There are no ads. I respect privacy. It's a simple weather app without fluff. Just a free version and a pro version. Cheers, Duane.
