ECMWF is the absolute worst forecast model for my location, but everything defaults to it on the mobile app. Every time I open the app I have to manually set the forecast model, and even then the favorites icons are all in ECMWF, and when I select anything it all just reverts back. It’s a lot of unnecessary toggling every time I want to see more accurate forecast. Can we please get an option to set a custom default within the app? Thanks,

This has been requested multiple times in the past, and I’m still not sure why we are unable to set MeteoBlue as a default forecast model? Could a default forecast selection maybe be added to our user settings? The suggested workaround of using the last overlay on startup just reverts to ECMWF. Ironically Meteoblue is the most accurate forecast for my region, and ECMWF is the least accurate. It’s kind of a pita to manually change this every time I open the app. Thanks!

@Wheats thanks, that would be an workaround. The only defaults in the widget are EXMWF, GFS and ICON though and when I open the widget the app opens to, no surprise, ECMWF regardless though. It would still be nice to have the default forecast feature built into the app. I also understand Meteoblue is forecast only so would require additional setup for a separate forecast and map layer defaults. It would be icing on the cake to be able to customize them both. HRRR is a close second to Meteoblue for my location though so I’d be happy just not having to manually toggle out of ECMWF all the time.

@evolab there’s already a custom startup layer and location option in user settings. This would be a great place to add settings for default forecast models.
