Totally Inaccurate Mapping
Good luck getting accurate weather if you live in Las Vegas Nevada - or a few other cities around the country where I’ve attempted to use this app to receive accurate weather information.
According to their weather map, I live in Henderson Nevada which is almost an hour (45+ miles) away and often has different weather patterns from my location in the foothills/Red Rock area of Las Vegas.
These erroneous mapping issues can be significant in the desert (and other regions) in regards to flash floods, wind/dust storms, and many other weather problems.
I’ve had issues in other cities that I’ve travelled through on cross-country road trips and at this point, looking up in the sky is usually more accurate than this app - what a total bummer.
I have written to the developer of this app many times over the past few years, but the issue remains. The most they’ve replied back with is something on the lines of, “are you in the same geographical region?” with the premise being (?) that the weather should therefore be the same within a 45 mile radius or something.
Again, weather can vary greatly from mile-to-mile, rapid elevation shifts especially in mountainous regions, and so on. (Tahoe to Reno for example.)
With so many other weather apps available, save your money and purchase a different one.
If you guys can fix this issue, I would easily rescind my 1 star and replace it with a 5 star. We’re nearing 2020, almost have self driving cars, and are in a fairly technologically situated position compared to years gone by. Can’t you get the mapping issues correct at this point?!? How difficult can it be?
