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.

Using 12.34 but still see the issues updating the widget. Sometimes location cannot be found, other time the refresh wheel in the top right of widget just remains spinning. Need to remove and add widget again to address the issue.
Sometimes I note the temperature is way off compared to reality. It's just a case of the app hasn't refreshed correctly.
Love the app. When widget issues solved, it will be the best. :)

Love the update. Map update looks sharp and more clarity. Love the menu system. App is my favourite and would gladly pay or donate towards it. Really fantastic work all. Thank you!

See this often on the widget. Surely the widget should always display the last successful retrieval rather than this?

My widget works, but it only shows 4 days since the last update. It used to show 5 days. Is this by design?

How often does widget update automatically and can it be configured. I noticed sometimes my temperature is wrong (afternoon still showing morning temp) so I hit refresh and it's updated. Should it update automatically every hour?

The image shows the same location information within the app and from the widget. The rain drops look in different hours though?
Any ideas why? Image here https://imgur.com/a/7RLp4
Thanks

I use a VPN and the widget now often finds my location as London(VPN location) even though I'm physically in Dublin. When I click refresh on the widget it immediately finds the right area of Dublin.
This never happened in the last year. It's only started this week since either the app was updated or my phone was updated to Android 11. I have enabled all location permissions for the app so not sure why this is happening.

@idefix37 thanks! That actually makes perfect sense.

Another issue I noticed is that the widget on one of my phone screens is stuck in a refresh loop. The refresh icon constantly spinning. I have the widget on another page on the phone and it's fine. You click refresh and it refreshes and stops spinning. Not sure how this one got stuck in the loop like this. I removed it and added it again to resolve.

Looks like the location issue is fixed too. I've not seen it since the last app update. Thank you all for the great work here. 😍

Nice UX improvements on latest release. Love the smaller less intrusive and shorter lived webcam popup on start up. App feels very slick to use now. 😍👌

@mcgon this was to do with airplane mode. If you put the phone in airplane mode at night the app behaves weird in the morning when you turn off airplane mode. I restarted it and the granularity is back.

I like to look at the hourly view with metro graph as my default. When the app is closed for a while and I go back in, it defaults to 3 hour view and basic graph. Is there a way to save my default start view. Sorry if this is obvious and in just missing it. If not, could it be a feature request maybe?
Love the app. Thanks!!

Widget is being auto-refreshed on my Pixel 5 now. :) Not sure what changed but works good now.

@idefix37 said in App defaults possible? Pro subscription.:

"metro graph" probably means Meteogram :)
With Premium subscription, @mcgon would like to keep 1h step forecast as default when he opens Meteogram instead of 3h.
Personally I don’t have this issue and my setting is still 1h, until I modify it to 3h, both with iOS app and with Chrome.

Thanks @idefix37 . That's exactly what I meant. :)
I'd like the meteogram view instead of basic view by default with 1 hour step.
When app is closed and reopened it defaults to basic view and 3hr step on Android.
