Fotocast for Negative User Reviews

✓ Waste of moneyThe Sunrise/Sunset quality scores are useless. I can plan a shoot based on this only for it to be completely inaccurate. The Quality Scores then update retrospectively just to add insult to injury. Recently spent £50 on a train 5 hour round trip journey to photography a famous bridge in Scotland as the Quality Score predicted an 80% score for sunset. Post sunset the QS updated to 12%. I have no idea what the Fotoscore number is or how it is calculated. I have been stood in a rainy miserable day in Edinburgh and it’s been at 10. I have been stood looking at the most beautiful sunset light and it’s been 0. It seems to be a random arbitrary number. All of the other paid features are next to useless. There are a number of bugs with regards to notifications. Constantly sending them when you have turned Notifications off, or sending multiple of the same ones over and over again. I tried to flag this but they do not accept screenshots over 1.5 megabytes (?!). Stick to the free version. Don’t pay for this..StevenlennieVersion: 3.2.0

✓ Double dipSo I purchase the annual subscription and pay. Two weeks ap locks me out and requires purchase. Really?.Nowayjose354723Version: 3.2.1

✓ Crashes repeatedlyI was able to access this app the first time I opened it. But since then, the app crashes within a split second when I try to open it..ReaistVersion: 2.2.00

✓ App USED to WorkThis app used to work. Now whenever I select a location it automatically quits out. I e tried restarting my phone. I’ve tried resetting my phone. Even tried deleting this app off my phone and reinstalling it multiple times. Tried setting the app to use my location and also not use it - failed. Tried setting push notifications off, and on - still failed. I loved this app; what happened to it?!? Did you guys write in some algorithm that disables use after a certain number of uses without purchasing it? Seems like it to me, and just when I started to like it....DailydepictionVersion: 2.2.00

✓ Was a good app...When initially downloaded several months ago it was a great app - then started giving me the same weather warning over & over again &. Now just crashes as soon as I open it - please update & sort this app out!.Scott-ZorroVersion: 2.2.00

✓ Asks for a premium subscription. No free functionality at all.The app doesn’t even provide any functions for free and asks for a premium subscription right away..PrimeSeventyThreeVersion: 1.1.3

✓ Crashes trying to read terms of useWould love to try it but can’t even read terms or privacy policy. Once that’s fixed I’ll give it another go. 😕.UncleRayVersion: 3.4.0

✓ Nice idea just doesn't workThinks it's clear when loads of clouds and vice versa, it can't even get the current weather right let alone the future. Also very often reverts to other locations that I haven't been in for months and have used the app several times since..TomfromlondonVersion: 2.2.00

✓ Don’t BotherWill not open on Apple Watch!!!!!.Briar photosVersion: 3.4.0

✓ My Location (Auto GPS) doesn’t update locationAuto GPS function does not work. I tried to refresh it several times, uninstalled the app and reinstalled it but the location is stuck to the original location. Sent an email to support but got no response..TredyuVersion: 3.1.0

✓ Does it workI do landscape and astrophotography and it says partly cloudy when there is not a cloud in the sky. It does show my location on the map but not sure about the forecast. I will continue to use it along with other weather apps..PereedVersion: 1.1.81

✓ Kind of uselessCan’t add locations Can’t make it use location services Thinks it is nighttime when it is 1000.Tim.trimVersion: 1.1.3

✓ WARNING! More bugs than usable featuresAttempt to edit gear causes app to force close. Address search results in “my photo places” cannot be selected and improperly displays in user interface. Use of the camera in the “my photo places” results in force close of app. In app support fails to send on both WiFi and cell connections without any indication and requires that you delete your support message to go back to the app. I used this on the iPad Pro 11. I have no doubt that this list does not represent the entirety of bugs present in this application. I experienced a force close for the first 5 features I tried to use and decided it best to remove the application and put a warning to future users. The app looked promising but turned out like every other poorly coded, subscription or micro transaction apps that litter the App Store. Rest assured knowing that the subscription creation/ in app purchases is functioning properly. You will have no issue getting the app to accept your money, but this is a near complete list of functioning features, generously made available through this app..W.ErdmanVersion: 2.2.00

✓ Radar is premium subscriptionUpdate. O1-19-20. Developer contacted me 4 months after last review so I gave one more star. Explained some things and wants to work with me on the location not updating. Update. 8-10-19. I physically relocated To a new state and says gps auto update but it won’t change locations. This is useless. Must be a bug but can’t get it to update to my current location. Should not be difficult at all. Original review. Downloaded and took a quick spin around. And really like what i see until i get to the radar option. Overall I think this is a great app I would have paid for but not for the subscription amount. Radar is only for subscription and to me is too basic a function and covered by too many other good apps for free. I would definitely pay for this app one time but not subscription. Really tired of everything going to subscription. Especially with apps I will lose track and keep paying and paying. I guess that is what they bank on..MicheleB1Version: 3.3.0
