    SA weather app I've been working on — feedback welcome

    Fair question. The free tier is the whole app. Satellite, hourly + 14-day forecasts, tides, sport fixtures, solar production, all the widgets, everything. Premium isn't unlocking the app — it's specifically push notifications (SAWS severe weather warnings + lightning strikes near you) and no...
