Ratings and reviews

Faults with the app, go to warning section and if you want to know what the warning is, you cannot as there are too many warnings (03/07/25) which is a bit of a problem if you need the info for that area. Wind speed including wind gust for each hour has gone, need to know that if you want to sail, do water sports on lakes and sea. Having to uninstall and just use the website as app lacks data

The UI designer should have followed the principle "If it's not broken, don't fix it." It was pretty much perfect the way it was. Now most of the screen is taken up by a huge, useless photo, and useless graphics about the day length and Moon phases. You need more scrolling and more tapping to get what was easily accessible previously. UI changes shouldn't be made because the designer is bored. What do you do with an app that's pretty but annoying? You switch to a different app.

Used FMI for 10 years. Most accurate weather model for Finland and clean interface. But now the new GUI is pretty, and pretty awful, and doesn't tell me easily what I need. Namely semi detailed weather table for next days with an easy way to see hourly details for today. Now we have to click a date to get the info that previously was right there. It looks like Apple Weather which is not a good thing.
