New UI has made the app unusable
-
Unfortunately, as many have already said, the new UI update has turned this app from something amazing into something cluttered and unusable. The new weather picker is probably one of the worst things along with the new layer overview. Very disappointed and guess I'll have to use an alternative.

Hi @EncrypterPepper, what exactly is wrong with these. Do you see any specific disadvantages in these two new features? We are glad for any feedback about the new UI, but I would like to get specific issues, rather than general not liking post. I hope it is understandable.

On a mobile I can understand the UI where you can move the map. However on iPad it’s much faster to tap on a location to get the weather rather then moving the underlaying map.

@Ondřej-Šutera The specific issue is: the old UI was great and this one isn’t. I think the community has made this breathtakingly clear over the last couple of days - for the life of me I cannot understand why you’ve taken a passive aggressive stance telling everyone they have to be more specific - I sincerely hope that is clear at this point: It used to be great, now it isn’t, everything that has changed about the UI is your “specific” problem. Sure, most of the functionality is still embedded into it - but it sucks to find it and, as we know, it doesn’t have to be this way. I thought this app was made for the weather poweruser, but now it looks like something a whole lot different. I don’t care if you’re trying to appeal to 14 year olds, please just give us the ability to switch to the old UI.
Information that used to be one or two taps away now requires 5 or 6, and then how you use the layer has also changed. Some people in this forum use it professionally and need 5 replies back and forth to understand something that used to be so very simple to use. You even need to explain how to properly enable the weather picker - while this was so incredibly simple at first with just a single tap on a location.

@EncrypterPepper you are absolutely spot on with your comments!

@EncrypterPepper I am sorry about the feeling from my last message, it wasn't intentional. We tried to make our app simpler, and in many cases, to cut the number of necessary steps to use some features. However, if you think that some actions in the new UI are more complicated and they require more taps to use them, please let us know. That is the reason why we try to collect a feedback about the new version now.

Previously when you choose the meteorogical agency, you can find how many hours to since it was last updated. This add the reliability which agency you need to rely on the time you need the forcast. The complicated way to do it is to go to the settings and see it from there which will add more steps on which data to rely on. Even if you compare all of them, it does not say when the data was last updated but wil provide the actual time which internationally different country has different time zone.

I don’t know where you find this complicated way. In the browser version or in the mobile app? This information is surely not un Settings. In the new app it is in the menu. You just need to click on each model to see the detailed information of the model update.

Now I am using the web interface to do my outdoor planning. But it sucks to bring a laptop outside specially if you need to plug it in to a power source. Please find a way to test your iOS/iPasdOS app to wide range of individual before you deploy it. Thank you.

I am talking about looking at the hourly forcast screen, previously it is stated there that time it was last updated. -

@lewdime You are right, that when iPad used to have the desktop version, the updated time was on the same place as in the browser. I will forward this to colleagues for consideration.
