**FAQ**

**What makes WhatWeather a useful app?**
The original concept was to give new life to older tablets that are still functional but may be slow or have security limitations due to outdated Android versions. WhatWeather is designed to run smoothly on these devices.

**How long can I use WhatWeather for free?**
You can use the basic version of WhatWeather for as long as you like. It provides a foundational set of features and can be expanded through in-app purchases.

**What happened to WhatWeather Pro?**
WhatWeather Pro is no longer a separate app. All of its features have been integrated into WhatWeather and are available as in-app purchases, streamlining the user experience.

**Do I need to buy upgrades separately for each device?**
No, your in-app purchases are linked to your Google account and can be used on all devices associated with that account.

**Is 24/7 support available?**
We are committed to providing timely support and strive to respond to emails daily.

**Why is a specific feature not included?**
Instead of leaving a negative review, please contact us with your feature requests. We will consider adding it to our development list or explain our reasoning for not implementing it.

**Why is there unused space on the screen?**
Our layout is designed to be adaptable to various aspect ratios, date and time formats, languages, and optional data displays. We use a Google Nexus 7 as our primary reference device and are continually working to optimize the layout, but it may not perfectly fit every device.

**Why does WhatWeather require gps permission?**
Weather data providers require location information to provide accurate forecasts. WhatWeather attempts to automatically detect your location. If you deny GPS permission or disable location services, you will need to manually enter your location. Only coordinates, language settings, and the app version are transmitted to our backend server; no other personal data is collected.
