Releases

v1.0.53 - 2025 June 12

This release clarifies the ad-free language. It now says "Ad-free for X days" instead of "Trial Period (X days)" which was confusing because "Trial Periods" are usually part of subscriptions, and that's not the case here.

v1.0.52 - 2025 June 7

This release fixed a problem where sometimes a <?> was shown instead of "Too warm for fan" in the My Guide list.

v1.0.51 - 2025 May 23

This adds your town name to the Home Tab, within the outdoor temperature panel. The reflects the location initially shared right after you install the app. Most weather apps show the nearest town name; this is a common feature.

Why add this? I know where I live...

Yes, but...

Someone might have installed the app while at work or far away from home, and during the install, set their weather forecast location to that location, which could easily have much different weather than their home. Showing the town name empowers people to recognize that the weather forecast is set to the wrong town, not the home with the swamp cooler.

If this is you, the fix is easy: tap the "Settings"/gear icon and then scroll towards the bottom (but not all the way). There's a button labeled "> Update My Location <" that will pop up a request for permission to update your location, and then the app updates the server. It can take a few seconds for the update to show up, and for the Savings tab to refresh with new data.

v1.0.50 - 2025 May 22

This was the initial public launch version!

As you can see from the version number, it wasn't the very first version, because we've shared many prior versions with our beta-testers in closed testing programs (both Android and Apple).

The "Known Bugs" page reflects some of the changes prior to the first release.
