Got this app because we live in the middle of nowhere Texas and the updates they do on X are great. I decided to support Texans doing Texan things. I got the ad free upgrade because you support people with dollars.
Problem is that the app hates it if you don’t give them location access. It spits out an error like it cannot just pull the information from the last location you searched. There’s only one reason they would like to force you to use a gps location vs a location you set, and that’s so they can gather your info to sell.
They may not be selling it, but the app not working smoothly without the gps location on leads me to believe that they really want that valuable location data.
2 stars once you have to enter your location EVERY time you open the app. If you want to see the radar, it starts in Pennsylvania even though it’s the TEXAS storm chaser app. If you’re gonna default it outside of Texas, at least make it Austin. Forecasts (once you enter your location every time) are good. Map is lacking, but you’re making improvements. Just make it so you can set the location and forget it and it’d be 4.5 stars
