Currently - Minimalist Weather 4+

Suggestion to developer

There's no way to write a review/request without rating, so not to hurt the overall rating, I decided to try being neutral, as I haven't even tried it yet, read below, to understand why...

I found this app surfing tech news. Followed a link to the app store, and found its very lightweight (less than 13MB), and by a reputable weather app developers, so I downloaded it.
I really want to give it a try, but being a privacy advocate, I never leave my location capability active, and only use it when I need navigation.

Considering how it's a common practice to disrespect and monetize users data, in the open by the biggest tech companies, and followed by app developers, I am doing my best to support apps developed with the user in mind and not money.

A request from the developers -
Please make an option to use the app based on zip code or other means of location, that doesn't require the GPS to be active at all times.

I will not keep location active all the time, just to be able to check on the weather, every now and then. And "diving" into the settings to activate GPS (Thank you Apple, for the "convenience") just to get the weather, is pointless. It's a lot faster to type my zip code and "weather" into spotlight to get it.

Hope to see this feature coming soon.
If not, I'll sadly remove it from my phone.

Thank you, for your consideration

Developer Response ,

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback. I completely understand your concerns about location tracking but I can assure you Currently does not collect any personally identifiable information. Expressing your concerns would have best been handled by contacting us through the support email address provided in the app and on the app's page on the App Store rather than in a review where you admit to not having used the app.

Great app, but it needs dark mode support.

Hello, developer,

I like to use this app everyday to check on the weather, and I always make sure to check the weather early in the morning. This gives me everything that I need to know about the weather in an instant. However, my eyes are always irritated by the brightness of the display (even when I check it at other times, too.) Could you please add support for dark mode (and possibly maybe even an AMOLED version of dark mode too?)

Thank you,

This app does it for wherever you are at the moment you ask. It’s not a general location-it tells you where you are and the current temp at that spot. And it is spot on!!
