Ratings and reviews

Used to be my favourite weather app in Finland, but the new interface is a big step in the wrong direction. Adding more photographs of weather does not give me any more information, and what's left is much harder to read at a glance. The table with all relevant info of the next few hours was exactly what I needed from a weather app, and now it's gone, and what replaced it was pictures of clouds.

Finally the widget is back! But I still think the previous version was better. The app interface itself was more compact, not wasting so much screen space. In this new version one has to scroll down to see the important enough information. The good thing is the very detailed settings. To work properly, one has to allow app to access the precise location all the time via phones location permissions, which will then probably consume more power.

Best weather app for Finland. But the recent UI update is really rough. While before different data was distinguished with different fonts, colors and illustrations, it now looks more like an excel table (esp. dark mode). It just looks like a jumble of numbers. I think the goal was to be more "sleek", but the user experience is really suffering. I hope future updates will reintroduce at least some of the old aesthetics. Also, is the resolution of the rain radar lower now?
