I like the aesthetics of your app! Nice responsive design, too.

Some suggestions:

- The hourly forecast icons are hard to tell apart. They're small, and blue raindrops blend in with the blue gradient behind the icon.

- The checkmark button on starred locations is hard to understand. It looks like it should confirm something (especially beside the red X), but it I guess maybe it selects the default location? The button could use alt text, too.

- The 7-day forecast feels busy. Maybe de-emphasize the date (lower font weight or smaller size for the calendar day, and maybe a shorter date format)

- The search box would benefit from suggesting places. Less to type (especially on mobile), and weather apps are inconsistent about what location queries they support and suggestions give confidence I'm using a new app correctly.
