2/5Can’t change the location
It’s set for one address. I moved and can’t change it to show conditions at my new location. Still seems to be working fine for the old location, futilely.

3/5Mostly Good
I would rate this app as excellent, except it falls into the trap that many apps (and organizations) do that use an severity scale. WeatherFX doesn't show the scale, so you're left to guess what the colors mean in relation to each other. Is red worse than black or is it the other way around? Why do I have to guess at this? A simple depiction of the scale anywhere in the app would fix this fatal flaw. Note to developer: Please fix this. An simple image would do. It doesn't need numbers against it. Just show the colors in order.

1/5GPS not working
Opened the app and it gives a location far from where I live with no ability to choose locations. Not good

1/5Wish I could give it a zero
As others have said, the GPS does not work. It won’t even let me enter my own latitude and longitude coordinates. Absolutely useless to me unless I visit central Indiana.

5/5Legit
This is the only app that provides Wet Bulb measurements and it uses WBGT to give real-time USMC flag conditions.
