The app has been working great for me, but recently I'm getting notifications while I"m not using the app about nonsense that has to do with the app instead of anything to do with the weather. I don't want "CHECK OUT THIS NEW FEATURE!" notifications, but there isn't a way to turn them off. If I turn them off from the android side then I don't get wind alerts. Having the info about a new feature showing up when I open the app is fine, but notifications when I'm not using it? Not cool.

It's an okay weather app if you need more detail for a specific sport but overkill otherwise. The downside is that they're really pushy with trying to get you to pay for a license which is annoying. They've now become so pushy with the sales that the user experience is severely impacts so I've deleted the app and will use a different weather forecasting service.

Not a free app (my fault for not noticing) but FYI. I'm disinclined to give my payment details to get the free week trial due to others reviews about it being pushy for subs. Maybe I've missed a way to use a free version as it is listed in top 10 free weather apps, so I'm hoping a 1* review will prompt the developers to respond with if how to use it if that is possible. Edit: they did. There is a cross top left (slightly inboard) then there's a second page where you have to find the "skip".
