Couldn't find in FDroid or using GDroid, had to download from website.

Didn't matter, location search is completely broken. Can't find any location.

New York? Nope. LA? Nope. Berlin? Nope. None. 😕

I also had this problem but after setting my current location which requests location permissions it works. I think there's a slight bug where it doesn't ask for location permissions on launch. Similarly, the rain notification was failing because it only asked for location permissions while using the app not constantly.

Yea, who knows - these things happen.

I'm just disappointed - looks promising.
