The new layout is awful. Can't get full overview in one graph. I've been using this service for years, on the computer screen and on this 4.6 " screen, and always only the combined, detailed graph. I need this info in my job. Now, I have to scroll up and down to get all the data, and can't see it all at one glance. It is difficult to remember what one graph said while looking at another. Vert little user friendly. I suspect that the designer is someone who wants an aesthetically pleasing, clean look; and not someone who actually ever have relied on using a weather forecast service. Can please have the old design back, this one is useless, really? Unimpressed. Unuseful. Uninstalled. Edit 31.jan 2018: Tried it again. Still useless. All my comments above still valid. Can we please have the old version back? The way it looks on the webpage is good, all info at one glance. Maybe make a new slim app, without the fancy picture of the sky and instead have a combined 48 hr graph, and a table for long term. Only those two. BTW, the graph for long term is also good.

Great, but on the bottom in "Graph" explaination for wind icon from North is pointing up (normanly this is icon for south) and south icon is pointing down. It is also wrong in norwegian. :)

This is my personal favourite weather app. After the design change, it is also the most beautiful weather app I know. The widgets options are great, variety of choice between size, presented information, whether it has light or dark background, and how transparent it is. With this set of features, it could match to basically any home screen.

Since the latest version was released, it takes ages to refresh the my "Current location" forcast. Previously it was by far the best weather forecast app out there

It used to to work very well, but now (Feb 2017) the precipitation map for South Africa is stuck and does not move when one advances the hour and day. Edit Jan 2018 -- again and again updates dont work, maps dont display, now it simply crashes. EDIT 19 Ja . Still no maps.

Great overhaul. Like the language option of English. Also, the looks have improved. Much cleaner and crisp look! Great job! Widget stopped updating at random time. Had to reboot my phone to update the widget.

Simply the best. Clean, simple and down to the point. Forecasts are reliable and accurate. Love that there is no ads in the application, please keep it that way. Would be great to have a "donate" function in settings to support ad-free development.

Den nye oppdateringen samt at det nå er mulig å velge 'graf' som åpningsskjerm er fantastiske forbedringer! Tusen takk for en fantastisk app! (En liten ting, det ville vært bra om det var mulig å inkludere 'ō', som brukes i Japan, under søkning med 'o', slik at det er lettere å søke etter steder i Japan uten japansk tastatur.)

Improved constantly! The maps and local weather tabs with the camera views are not available on the Lollipop 5" phone. WHY? Thank You for the "Night" mode! ONE QUESTION: WHERE IS THE PRECIPITATION DIAGRAM ON THE WIDGET AND HOW TO CHANGE THE NIGHT THEME BACK TO LIGHT ONE BECAUSE THE DARK IS ALSO "TO DARK" and bad looking?
