Ratings and reviews

Used to be a good app with a decent overview. Since the last update as mentioned by many the app has become almost unusable. An overview of you locations is work rather than a simple glance and only one location can be selected to be shown by default. Best of all though if you're temporarily staying somewhere and want the weather, don't make the mistake of saving it as one of your locations as there is no way to later remove it, the change literally fails at completing the basics.

From best to stupidest app. Well done! That's a pity because everything meteo swiss is doing is great. Weather forecast, rain, wind you name it. But introducing such stupid thing like automated location.... Why? If I need to setup quickly location, i don't need to have a kind of automatic sorting. Especially now I can't remove the top location as the remove function start at second location.... Hate these automated sorting when there is no point to do so. Widget parameters? no chance

The new app is bad, the home screen customization is less powerful than before, the animations doesn't load properly. Please bring back the option to use the old interface, it was way better. Thanks!
