Data for sale! That's the only reason to hide the weather behind a login screen, I cannot access it without. Even if you have a BBC account, there is no reason to hide the weather behind the mandatory login. I had this screen when I tried resetting the app because even though Location is switched on and accessible by the app, it thinks I'm miles away and there was nowhere to add other locations. App uninstalled.
