Alpenglow shouldn't hit limits for a while now. The apps limits have been increased to accommodate for the extra usage. I'll look at increasing the number of days you can request predictions for if things look good in the next week or two.
Thanks to those people who sent tips to help cover the costs of running Alpenglow.
- Fixed issue with crashes when viewing predictions.
- Added dialog to suggest a tip if using the app quite a lot.

Thanks for all of the kind reviews recently about Alpenglow. I've been seeing a huge number of new users over the last few weeks. Huge thanks to those folks who have sent tips to support the cost of keeping Alpenglow running.
Due to the influx in users Alpenglow has been very close to hitting the number of requests it can make for predictions each day. If we go over this limit, no predictions will display in the app until the following day. You may have spotted this over the last couple of days. To keep predictions loading for everyone we have reduced the number of days in the future you can request.
I'm hoping we can increase this again in the future. I'll need to look at ways to bring in more tips/funds to support this additional cost. One possibility is an In-App Purchase to gain access to the additional predictions or set limits on a per user basis. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for using Alpenglow. Included a couple more optimizations to minimize unneeded hits to SunsetWX to minimize API usage. To support development and help cover server & service costs, please consider using the tip option in the Settings tab.
I'd love to keep the current feature set free however if limits continue to be met & tips don't cover upgrading, some features may have to be moved to a subscription.

Thank you for using Alpenglow! It's been so amazing to see usage grow these past few months. Our prediction provider SunsetWX has introduced usage limits, this isn't a surprise and I totally support them doing so. Alpenglow has been hitting these limits which has caused the predictions to stop showing when daily limits have been reached. To support development and help cover server & service costs, please consider using the tip option in the Settings tab.
