Model update times in Forecast view on the mobile app.
-
Hi,
Is there any place else in the mobile app (IOS) where you can see the update times of the model you are viewing, besides in the main menu scrolling down to forecast model?
Can I suggest that you implement something similar to the web on the mobile app, where you can hover over the "i" button in 'Forecast for this location'-view?
That would make it quite a bit faster when checking different models in the detailed view and are interested in the latest update times.

@pheur Hello, I would suggest the compare forecast feature, where you can check update time of each available model.

Hi,_1. That is of course a quite quick way to check it. I still think that the mobile app lacks the equivalent of the quick buttons down to the right in the web/desktop app. Where you have shortcuts to some of the functions from the main menu. This has an "i" info button that shows this.
But, I don't know how that should have space on the mobile app. So of course I understand this. But it would be nice if you have this in mind for future designs.
_2. Back to the compare forecast view:
In this view, either there is something I don't comprehend correctly or the compare view have a different update times than the main menu. Here is some screenshots from the mobile app from just now:
The update times is not the same in the different views. These are fresh screenshots and for example ECMWF was updated 27 minutes ago in the main menu but the compare view says timestamp 00:55 which is not correct. Same for GFS and ICON, the times do not correlate.
Is this a bug?
_3. Also another request. Can the different views both show how long ago it was updated and the timestamp. Now there is one view with how long ago and the other view is with the timestamp. I think you should have both information in every view you can see the updates, both mobile app and web.

@pheur Regarding to the time update difference, it is a bug and I already forwarded it to our team for the fix. Thank you for all the details.

@suty Thanks! Glad to hear it is something that will be fixed.
Can you also make a note of in the timestamps to follow the local time. I have some inclination to that this timestamp is not following the users time, but a timestamp from CET/GMT. But I can't confirm since they don't correlate to the other value in "Forecast updated: xx".
And please, why not include both Timestamp when it was updated and how long ago that was in both places.
