    • ‘Surface’ under freezing altitude

      It says the altitude in metres or feet (tap to change - great)
      It tells you the model.
      Then it says ‘surface’
      I find that very confusing. I often think it means that the altitude is AGL . So I move the pointer over to a big mountain to remind myself that no, it’s AMSL
      So, I know that the ‘surface’ really is there for other forecasts where you can slide the altitude. Some don’t allow you to move the altitude slider. But for freezing altitude in particular it think it’s confusing if you still write ‘surface’ there.
      Thanks!

    • Double tap and hold to zoom

      I love your app, I love how well featured it is for free users, and have often gone pro when I need the extras
      I would love if you include what I sense is now a standard navigation gesture and is in my muscle memory: . Double tap - hold - drag up or down to zoom in or out
      It works in google maps, Strava nav, Swiss topo, most other mapping apps. It means I can do everything with just my thumb. It’s a game changer for single handed navigation
      Thanks !

    • RE: Homing function, and re-opening the map

      @korina please do. The screen should look the same when ad before I reopen the app . Just like any other app (web pages, social media, news ) . If I fully close it then I expect it to return to default. At the very least, please just set the default zoom level to be closer. I would assume (maybe incorrectly) that this is a simple parameter in your code and would not require a a big new feature PR

    • Homing function, and re-opening the map

      It's an awesome and powerful app, but
      usability is seriously hindered by the
      following:

      • Viewing area is not saved when the app
        is briefly closed. So, I check the weather,
        then check a train schedule, then I have to
        manually zoom back in to the region I'm
        interested in
      • the home icon centres the view on my
        current location.... Great. But, it's at a scale
        of 1 iPhone screen width to about
        20000miles. Not very helpful. As soon as
        you start pinching the screen it becomes
        pointless. In the fact the 'home' button
        should just be relabelled as a zoom-out
        button. Or something. Anyway PLEASE fix
        this as it would save me a hell of a lot of
        time
        Thanks
