Please add support for c2dm for timely alerts with very low battery drain.

Will not find location unless GPS is turned on, and gives no option to set a fixed location. Waste of battery.

Inferior in content, connectivity and usefulness. Use weatherbug instead.

One of the better forecasting modules around, but this app is terrible. Uninstalling because I don't want to agree to a ToA every time I open it up.
