Cant monitor an alternate location

The app insists on using your current location but I want to know whats happening at my house in Vermont. There seems to be no way to enter another location and the app wont run unless location services is enabled. I was excited to find it but this limitation makes it useless.

Also, why the 24 hour limitation? I bet Im not alone in wanting to know the rainfall history of the last week, month, season or year.
