Love this app, however on the latest update I seem to have lost the button on the map screen that immediately moves the map to my physical location. Was this moved or removed entirely? If removed entirely I would request that you put it back as I use it constantly. Thank you
Shows ads even for paying subscribers :( only options are to show more or fewer ads.
The app is great, but lately they have made some stations exclusive to paying subscribers. And one station they indicate is down when it is not (COMPS FHP), and a nearby station was just made exclusive, possibly to get subscribers to upgrade. If that is the case, I will switch to another app.
It keeps asking for a login when I'm already logged in. Interface is janky at best which is too bad because underlying forecasts are great.
I use the app often for kiting and have been a paid subscriber for years. There have always been glitches but the last update has made it almost unusable. The only support I've received has been recommendations to restart the app. 7/19 update: Still suffering from the same bugs months after bringing them to the developer's attention. In response to the developer's reply below, I have had numerous emails over the past 6 months with support and none of the reported bugs have been repaired.
