Needs work – WeatherWheel: Alerts, Forecast Review

Trying to add a location, it automatically adds what it thinks you are looking for, without letting you approve or not. I was looking for La Fortuna in Costa Rica (which it cannot locate), but it added a location called Elst in Europe. Looking for Springfield, IL? Type Springfield and it links you to...some Springfield. It doesn't say which one. Is this the forecast for Springfield Illinois? Missouri? Massachusetts? It doesn't give you the option to choose and doesn't tell you which one it is showing the forecast for. But back to La Fortuna...I typed "Costa Rica" hoping it would give me some list of locations to choose from. Nope, apparently the forecast it offers is for the ENTIRE COUNTRY OF COSTA RICA FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC! Not helpful. Then the real kicker is there are ads that look like they are part of the app, but really link you directly to other apps and webpages. That's a deal breaker. I have a trip coming and I am evaluating weather apps for it. I would gladly pay premium if an app looks promising. This one was more frustrating than anything. This app gets 2 stars instead of one for the unique and fun way you can scroll through the times. Too bad I'm not going to Elst.
