An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Valued for a fast, visual week-ahead weather forecast for observing: in a couple of seconds you know whether it's worth hauling the telescope out. But the app has gone years without updates and is riddled with errors: 'forecast unavailable' pops on every launch, saved sites get forgotten, and it can't find your location even at home. For a paid five dollars people call it abandoned.
