I downloaded the free version and liked it enough to buy the ad-free version. It was the same app without ads. They have now discontinued the ad-free version that I paid for. To get the same benefit I have to pay again with an in-app purchase in the free version. Accuweather automatically gave previous purchasers a free upgrade when they made the same conversion. I am very disappointed and have switched to another competitive app.
