New version locations
Installing the latest version has thrown away nearly all my locations, and I cant find any way of adding locations in. Also I cant remove a recent search - just remove all. What a mess. Was this tested?
Android

The app has a well designed, easy to use, graphical user interface, but it's let down by: (1) requiring a BBC login (2) not allowing you to save a particular location as a default, but instead requiring access to the phone location

Home screen widget keeps closing down and is constantly refreshing, so I have to open the app to see what the weather is for the next few hours 😖
iOS

Only as good as the data
The app doesn't forecast the weather, it uses data from other sources. Some times its accurate and sometimes its laughably inaccurate. I've seen the current weather (which had been predicted as sunny) suddenly change to show rain. Almost as if the ‘forecasters' looked out of the window and noticed the discrepancy. There's also a bug with some areas of Portugal. This bug may also affect other non-UK countries which use GMT time. This app shows some locations in Portugal as one hour ahead of current UK time, but they're not. I've reported this issue, but no response as yet.

Reasonable app but will no longer rotate into landscape mode.
