Currently - Minimalist Weather Reviews

by Just_Me_Too56657

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 Currently surfing tech news. Followed a link to Currently 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 Currently 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

Currently 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!!

Currently is quick to open, easy to read, and gives you the weather info you need to avoid surprises.

No video to slow down loading, Currently is perfect for a quick peek at the weather for the day.
