DO NOT BUY: Incorrect temps; complete lack of customer support

At first glance, this little app - which does only one task: show the current weather and five-day forecast in Notification Center - struck me as way cool. To display just the current weather, it uses only a wee bit of space. You can tap to take a quick look at a five-day forecast, then tap to close it.

So far, so good.

However: the current temperature is almost always wrong, often off by several degrees.

The forecast high for the day, displayed at the right of the current weather line, is almost always identical to the CURRENT temp, and is wildly different from the ACTUAL forecast high. Further, the forecast high on the current weather line almost never agrees with the forecast high for the day in the five-day forecast weather line.

SO, there seems to be two errors happening here. First: wherever this app pulls its temp information from: the source service is wildly inaccurate. Second: information in the app itself is contradictory - as evidenced in two completely different points of info about the current day forecast high.

Ive triple-checked the location that I added to this app, and it is correct. Even if it was wrong: it wouldnt explain the presence of conflicting information for forecast high for the current day.

I could have forgiven the developer for this, hoping it was just birthing pains -- but: they have been ignoring their users on Twitter for the past 6 days; and two very polite emails reporting the problems to them have not had the courtesy of a reply. Most legit developers at least have auto-replies in place, which they can use to inform the recipient how long it would take to receive a substantive reply; this developer hasnt bothered to do that.

I work for an app developer providing customer support; I do not write bad reviews lightly; but I felt I had to warn other users about the errors in this app, AND the complete absence of customer support. Its not an expensive app, but why spend even $0.99 on an unsupported, inaccurate piece of junk?
