Common questions

The app shows a different temperature than my thermometer.

Weather data comes from the nearest reporting station, which can be a few kilometres away. We cross-check WeatherAPI and Open-Meteo readings and pick the more conservative value, but neither knows what's happening in your back garden.

I'm not getting weather alert push notifications.

Push notifications are a Premium feature. Make sure you're subscribed (Settings → Premium), notification permission is granted (iOS Settings → Ubuntu Weather → Notifications), and your location is allowed (iOS Settings → Ubuntu Weather → Location). Alerts only fire for warnings whose polygon covers your current coordinates.

How do I cancel my Premium subscription?

iOS Settings → tap your name at the top → Subscriptions → Ubuntu Weather → Cancel Subscription. You'll keep premium access until the current billing period ends.

I subscribed but the app still says "Premium" features are locked.

Open the app, swipe down to refresh on the home screen. If that doesn't work, force-quit the app and re-open. If it still doesn't work, email support@ubuntuweather.co.za with your Apple ID email so we can verify the purchase with RevenueCat.

The radar / satellite map is centered on the wrong place.

The map follows whichever location you've pinned on the home screen (or your GPS if you haven't pinned one). Tap the location name on the home screen to switch.
