      I totally agree. Lets get our old weather picker back.

      The new weather picker opens automatically. Why?

      In previous version I could drag the weather picker wherever I wanted. Now I have to center the map. Why? Very annoying because doing so, it opens every weather station it touches when I drag the map. Why does it open weather stations which are not relevant to me?

      My tablet is lagging so heavily and it is so annoying that I can not use this weather picker.

      So yes, I am considering other weather apps because of this.

        We should, at a minimum be able to turn the weather picker off. It's so annoying having the cross on the screen whenever you move the image and the picker info popping up all the time.

          On IPad and iPhone, when I scroll the map with 2 fingers, the picker doesn’t appear. I don’t know if Android devices do the same.

            @Korina It has changed, indeed. How do you keep a location pinned in a way that when you move the map around, that location still shows? Similar to how the web version behaves.

            If there is a way please share.

            I don’t see how does this leave more screen estate than the previous version, but I’m happy to learn.

              Android App: Please bring back the old weather picker. Previously, because the picker was where you were interested in you could see the wind pattern develop around the location, and you could check the wind speed as it developed on the pin. Now you have to look 2 places at the same time, top left for the windspeed and the area on screen which you are interested in to see how it will develop, which I am finding next to impossible.

                Yes, you are right regarding Android tablet, but I'm really used to use only one finger.
                Google Maps, one finger. Reading newspapers, one finger. Scrolling, one finger. And so on.

                It's more difficult to navigate using two fingers on a tablet.

                It should be an option to permanetly disable it.

                  Well, I mean, for any app on Android you can use any version you want: Just you google for the apk of the specific version.

                  Actually, on my phone more than half of the apps run in the version that I want. Just, when I have free time I "update" some of them for checking the latest versions.

                      @adrianvonschnell thank you for the feedback, I will try to forward this for consideration. I don't think that the new picker will be disabled, but it would be nice to have option to move the map without it.

                          PLEASE bring back the weather pin! I used to be able to pin a point and check the forecast for paragliding at launch and at different heights in the atmosphere. Now I have these ridiculous cross hairs that automatically capture site information I’m not interested in - like a star rating for goodness sake - which then fills the top of my screen. It’s a terribly regressive update that makes no sense - no one I have spoken with in the paragliding community thinks this is anything other than a retrograde step. I can’t understand why you would persist with it in face of the clear feedback you are getting from your customers. I am a Premium user but will now look for other weather apps.
