      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

        @gambirch Hello, with your Premium you can save the default location with a desired weather layer and model, however you cannot save the zoom level. Thank you for suggestion, we will consider adding this option.

          @korina please do. 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
