App is great.. Only one question or request, is it possible to add date on the display for proof. Some companies like to point out the temperature is irrelevant if they cannot see the date and time

Update: app appears to be working again, so update my review. One star left off for the inability to look farther than 12 hours in the future.App no longer works, can't get location data. Permissions checked, app Uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck. Used to be my go to and was wonderful for many years and I'm very disappointed to loose it. Hopefully they fix it soon

App was working well, but now has just stopped working for some reason. won't read my location, and won't allow you to imput a location. Just keeps saying there's an error and doesn't have location data. Needs to be fixed.

This used to be a great app. Now it's barely meh. It used to have five (5) levels, which is FAR more useful. Now it just has 3. It used to allow me to put real time, local readings. Now, it only allows the heat index from the NWS. where I am right now, that's a 16-degree difference in heat index. (94 vs 110)

This used to work wonderfully. I've relied on this app for many years. However, in the past few months, it has become totally unreliable....and I mean off by "miles", not just a few degrees! I'm going to assume it has something to do with the govt. cuts. But, at this point, it's useless, and I'm going to have to uninstall it.
