      Hi Ivo and team, I've only had an hour to play with the app so far but I think it's a huge progress jump in UX. Thanks!!!

      I've not seen any loss of functionality or detail that some people mentioned - things just moved to a new or more intuitive menu. Might take people a couple of hours use to find what they are used to and learn where it is now. Nobody likes that type of change initially, but I think what you guys have done here is fantastic. I'll update later. Great job!

      Edit: everyone had their own reasons to use this app. Mine is I fly quadcopters. The wind bar and rain drops in the widget quickly let's me see when suitable flying days are coming. Love it.

        I love this app

        It's the first weather app I use now, but please please please put back the pressure indications as they were on the old version, I'm lost without seeing pressure indicated normally...

        Cheers

          I've been a fan since day one. It's my go to app before I go paragliding. Keep up the awesome work and I'll keep supporting it!

              The update is very good, but on the tablet, webcams still only work on airports. On the smartphone, webcams perform well. All this applies to both Android and IOS.
              Best regards

                @ivo Hi, as Pilots we could easily navicate with the old navigation bar on the left the hight above sea level and shift for cloud layers on the right. The new version really is not user friendly towards us flying VFR and having to keep our eyes on the outside of the cockpit while not having auto pilot. I use this app a lot in the air for wind direction, cloud layers and navigation. Now much more difficult and time consuming to use. Please revert back to old version or at least put back the hight slider on the left.

                      Please at least put back the hight above sea level slider bar on the app to the left of the screen. As pilots we use it a lot in the air as we increase or decrease hight to keep wind direction combined with navigation in mind. The new hidden slider is not user friendly towards us.

                          The constant open toolbar on the right also obscures the information behind it while looking at differend cloud bases for example. I propose it be programmed to close automatically when a selection is made or an option be provided to the user for it to stay open or close automatically after a selection is made. Please bring back the hight above sea level toolbar to the left of the home screen for us pilots. We use it a lot in the air during VFR flights.

                            @2Johan Maybe you have set the forecast model to NEMS, which doesn't provide such forecasts. Try to set it to ECMWF and see, if it works.

                                  Why the values are not displayed on the screen just like in website version?

                                    Love your app and improvements! As a motorcyclist I rely heavily on your app and it has served me well. Thank you!

                                        I think the mobile version is quite complete, but I still prefer the complete version where every stuff was visible at once, even using it on my 5" cellphone. If I have to make a suggestion I would say it's a good idea to develop an app for mobile devices, that would be more user friendly and fully operational.

                                          Yes, I like it very much. It is more organised than before, and easier to use as a result. I am using a tablet operating Android 5.0.1. The only difficulty I find is obtained the graphics when I zoom the map to a large scale. The screen shows no layers in some grids and graphics in others. When I zoom to a wider perspective, the graphics reappear.0_1509051002996_Screenshot_2017-10-26-22-35-53.png

                                            The old version was much better
