It's an awesome and powerful app, but
usability is seriously hindered by the
following:

• Viewing area is not saved when the app
  is briefly closed. So, I check the weather,
  then check a train schedule, then I have to
  manually zoom back in to the region I'm
  interested in
• the home icon centres the view on my
  current location.... Great. But, it's at a scale
  of 1 iPhone screen width to about
  20000miles. Not very helpful. As soon as
  you start pinching the screen it becomes
  pointless. In the fact the 'home' button
  should just be relabelled as a zoom-out
  button. Or something. Anyway PLEASE fix
  this as it would save me a hell of a lot of
  time
  Thanks

The screen should look the same when ad before I reopen the app . Just like any other app (web pages, social media, news ) . If I fully close it then I expect it to return to default. At the very least, please just set the default zoom level to be closer. I would assume (maybe incorrectly) that this is a simple parameter in your code and would not require a a big new feature PR

Thank you for suggestion, we will consider adding this option.
