Element: Weather Radar

Hi Element devs! I have to say, as someone who used to use Dark Sky before Apple ruined it, this app has some SERIOUS potential!!! You guys are on the right track with this, but there’s some SEVERE bugs that prevent me from rating this higher than 2 stars. Firstly, the widgets don’t update in real time; you have to manually open the app for them to update as you change physical locations (for example, going to work or coming home). And secondly, the app seems to have trouble remembering that I have purchased the subscription, and it sometimes disables the widgets as a result, forcing me to open the app once again. When I do, it immediately throws the paywall in my face again, forcing me to tap the Restore Purchase button to make it go away and re-enable everything. It’s getting on my nerves now, so PLEASE fix this bug ASAP if you can! Thank you in advance!

I don’t download tons of weather apps, in fact I have installed a total of zero. However, I kept seeing ads for this and thought it looked nice and the design was amazing. So I downloaded it and immediately regretted it. First of all, almost every time I opened the app I get asked to buy premium (which seems way too expensive but I’m probably just poor) which makes this already off to a bad start. Secondly, the only thing I ever use the Apple Weather app for is for the widgets. Using widgets is a no-brainer for me, and yet it tells me it is locked behind Premium. And I don’t know if it is my phone (iPhone 13 Mini) or the app, but it runs horribly. I can’t even scroll through the settings without it running way below 60fps (maybe around 30). I don’t see how I am expected to use all of the nice overlays and map visualizers if I can’t even use the menu smoothly?

I like the app, but it keeps asking me to subscribe and I'm already subscribed. It's very annoying to have to tell it that I'm already subscribed each time I open the app. I sent an email to your support email address but I never got a reply or a resolution to the issue. The one star (see Update below) is due to the problem, not the app itself. I'll update the review if and when it ever gets fixed. If I don't hear back soon, I'm gonna request a refund. Update: The developer got back to me and the issue has been resolved. I've updated the review from 1 to 5 stars. The main feature I like about this app is that I can view weather patterns for up to 12 hours in the future. I realize that weather is a very chaotic system, but this gives me a general idea of what to expect. Have that right?
