Only one location, system resource hog
Apple Store’s Weather Live app should be FREE WARE, the way Weather Live works on new 2016 Mac Pro shipped with current macOS Sierra. Support’s Anastasia Tretinnikova got back to me right away asking me to use “Locations” settings that do not exist. Here’s a short list of app fails.
1. Software manufacturer Apalon Apps forgot to add “+ -“ toggle to locations dialog. The only “multiple locations button is greyed out “Delete Selected”. Only shows local location.
2. Auto update popups on desktop died after 24h (likely mishandled caching).
3. Activity Monitor shows Weather Live has been active constantly, since intall, never ceasing use of CPU, like Trojan virus. Since install, using more CPU time than any other app. Only Mail and Safari are using more system memory. App size is very tiny, like a Trojan virus.
One star for a single pretty background picture that scrolls over and over from left-to-right. Waiting for Anastasia and Apalon Apps to fix app. But where do they start? In its present state, this app is total waste of money. In addition to not available Multiple locations functionality, Multiple app failures and enormous waste of system resources. Is the store accidentally downloading a freeware minimal functionality ‘picture’ of the app? No. Not the way it hogs resource.
Open Applications folder, drag Weather Live to trash: open Apple Store Purchased, right click, “Hide selected…”. This app is clearly not ready for sales. The purchase is funding for development. Or simply spyware supporting the new Russian Minister of Security. NOT FOR USE.
