Need more locations (2 stars)
Don't understand why the data for the largest city in Maine, portland has no data, but Sanford which is in the middle of nowhere is listed. This app is virtually useless to me till more locations become available. Gave it 2 stars because the display/graphics are nice. I'll re-rate if more locations are added.

Retina display update?!! (1 star)
The app looks so poor on my retina display! Please update and I will give 5 stars.
