5STARS‼️

Any one that would give less than 5 stars, while saying keep up the good work, leaves me baffled. This is an awesome app ‼️ No Matter where you look- if you look hard enough, you can find something wrong with any thing ‼️ The lord has given us all room for improvement, BUT, we can still be a 5 star on the move ‼️ Thank you very much for such useful app AND one that is pleasant and safe to use ‼️
Tide chart busted

No info on tides like it used to have. Also something is screwy with the holidays now.
It's okay...

My intent of this application is basically for redundancy and averaging. As an example I normally use several weather apps (minimum three) from different sources, then take an average of what the weather could potentially be. My intent was to do the same specifically for the weather almanac feature to best understand what the weather could be historically. Keep in mind, there is no exact science when it comes to predictability, so I am not judging this app on this. * The application looks nice, but it's truoly a nice ported web interface design. The advantage is it's clean and easy to read, but the disadvantage is it's not good for power users who want a lot of information and quick navigation to get the data they need. * The content is by far the "most off" of my two other weather almanacs I use, but that's the reason I have it. I need to get averages, so this is good. * I do not like how you are either locked-in to their geo-location option or manual option. It should have an easy access "geolocate" me button like any other application out there. Also, the database of locations is restriced/limited to major cities only, which is a big shortcomming for me. I need to know by the city-level their recordered weather, not by the next major city, as any geological formations like foothills or bluffs can make difference. Overall, this is an okay application, but the interface could be cleaned up or have better configurations to best customize for an individual. The data is questionable, but still usable (note: I have only been able to test the weather and not any other features). The location search with automatic and manual options is archaic and should be updated. It's not worth price/value for what you get. I would think this would be more of a 99¢ app. That being said, I do not use this as a primary resource and used for averaging from differenct sources. I would not recommend this as a primary application and you would be better served with more sophiscated, customizable applciations and/or websites that do exactly the same thing. As stated, this "okay", but not recommended.

There used to be a way to contact Tod. Apparently, no longer. There is a major error in the 2018 Jewish Calendar re dates. Need to check and change. Thank you. Still no response or correction re Jewish holidays. I am extremely disappointed at lack of any answer.
Stellar app

The only problem I have is that if I miss a day, I can't go back to see what I missed. I like reading what happened on a particular day in history, etc. and it doesn't let me go back to a different day. I almost gave only four stars because of that.

Great. This is the first app I look at after the morning alarm. A nice way to start the day!
Great almanac

Would love to see a widget added to it for the quick reference screen that shows sunset/sunrise and a quick glance at the moon phase! That would make it more awesome!
