If a return to the old UI or an option to do so in the iOS app is not planned by the developers, I will not be renewing my subscription. It’s that simple.
It’s nonsense that zooming in or out changes the position of the picker or that the weather picker has to rely on an unintuitive, imprecise method of selection instead of tapping the desired location. If I had known you were going to change the app in this way, I would not have paid for a subscription. Given how clunky the app’s UI is, I’ve already increasingly turned other sources with the models I tend to use anyway.
Very disappointing that you have chosen intransigence in the face of constructive criticism.
