Title: Android WU App broken
Post by: WheelinDealin on June 28, 2018, 05:16:02 PM
It appears that the Android WU app is not longer functioning. When opened it constantly says "Couldn't update your location." and displays incorrect data. It will not give access to the wunderground map. This has been happening for about a week now. According to reviews on the Android store I am not the only one experiencing this. Funny thing is that the home screen widget still appears to be showing correct weather info even though the app is not.

Best to go into the Application permissions for the WU App, and tap clear cache and clear storage. Then restart WU app and setup the app again. I have had this in the past but not recently and clearing the storage data usually fixes it.

I have the problem identified in this thread, but the solution doesn't work for me. The app still cannot update its location, despite my having cleared the cache and data.

Stopping the app and clearing just the cache sometimes fixes problems like this. Saves you from having to set it up and add back saved locations. That is what worked for me.

I've done this to fix a couple of apps that were misbehaving.
