Common questions
The weather won't load.
Check your connection and pull down to refresh. If you're using Tomorrow.io, OpenWeather, or WeatherAPI.com, check that your API key is saved (Settings → Weather Data). A brand-new OpenWeather key can take a couple of hours to start working.

Rain alerts arrive late or not at all.
Alerts are best effort. iOS decides when the app may check for rain in the background, so open the app now and then, and check that Background App Refresh and notifications are on for Strike Weather in your device's Settings.
