Common questions
- How does the app choose a place?
- Each day of the forecast is scored on sunshine, rain and how the temperature feels. A good day is sunny for at least half the daylight, with little rain. A place has to be clearly better than where you are, and when two places are similar, the closer one comes first.
- Why does it say I'm already in the best spot?
- Because nothing within your distance beats your own forecast. The app doesn't invent a winner. You can search a little further or change your options.
- Why are the places named after a town and an area?
- The app compares forecasts across a grid of regions in Europe. Each region is named after its largest town, so a result points you to an area, not to one exact address.
- Are the distances driving distances?
- No. Distances are straight lines, so the drive will be longer. "Open in Maps" gives you the real route.
- How reliable is a 14-day forecast?
- Less reliable than a short one. Forecasts beyond a week are a rough outlook, and the app counts those later days less when it ranks places.
- Can I use the app without sharing my location?
- Yes. Choose "Enter a place" and type a town to search from. You can change it later from the home screen.
- Which countries are covered?
- Most of Europe, including the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores. More regions may follow.
